Chapter 286 Slapped Again
All was silent.
After hearing what Caspian said, everyone was dumbstruck. Moments later, they began to
roar with laughter.
“Hahaha! That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!”
“Did you hear what he said?”
“Willow’s the CEO of Southlake Corporation? Is he joking?”
“I bet that she’s just a clerk in the branch office at most!”
Willow’s former high school classmates could not stop laughing
“If Willow’s the CEO of Southlake Corporation, who are you?” Fritz pointed at Caspian and
asked with a chuckle.
“I’m Lord Caspian, the Diatoranian God of War,” Caspian solemnly replied.
Everyone was stupefied.
What did Caspian just call himself? The Diatoranian God of War?
What a joke! How could Caspian be Lord Caspian, the powerful figure who conquered
battlefields?
They thought he should have chosen a more believable lie.
Willow was also started as well, but she did not make any comments. Since she knew
Caspian was a military officer, she thought he was just lying to scare Fritz.
“Hahaha! The CEO of Southlake Corporation and the Diatoranian God of War, huh? You
two- must be crazy,” Fritz scoffed.
The others chimed in as well.
“That’s right! How can someone who looks like you be the Diatoranian God of War?”
“We came here to have a good meal together. Who would’ve thought we’d run into two
shameless and boastful people?”
They eyed Caspian and Willow with ridicule.
Caspian chuckled.
He and the people around the table came from two entirely different worlds.
Even after he declared his true identity, they did not believe him because they did not

They were ignorant fools who could not possibly imagine just how powerful Caspian was.
Caspian could not be bothered to continue wasting his breath on them. No matter what he
said, they would not get it..
Upon seeing Caspian’s reaction, Fritz said sternly, “Caspian, since you claim that Willow is
the CEO of Southlake Corporation, I’ll go ahead and check for myself! I’ll send a message
to my uncle and tell him to come over right now.
“He’s in charge of Southlake c
Willow is the CEO!”
Fritz immediately sent the text.
branch office, so I’m sure he knows whether or not
He was determined to expose Willow. It was no laughing matter that someone was
pretending to be the CEO of Southlake Corporation. Fritz thought that if his uncle,
Geoffrey, came over and stopped someone from abusing the CEO’s name, the CEO might
even reward him for it.
Immediately, everyone’s gazes became even more respectful as they looked at Fritz.
They were surprised that he had such an accomplished uncle.
The head of Southlake Corporation’s branch office was nothing to sneeze at!
Willow shook her head and chuckled bitterly.
She no longer wanted to speak to these classmates of hers. Initially, she wanted to use
this chance to strengthen their friendship. But after coming over, she realized that things
were
different now.
Her classmates had changed. Unlike their younger days, they were a lot more materialistic
and
calculating now.
Rather than sticking around, she figured it was better to leave early. She did not think she
would miss out on anything.
“Let’s go, hubby. I don’t feel like eating here anymore,” Willow said as she took Caspian’s
hand and stood up.
Caspian nodded. If not for Willow, he would not have attended such a gathering in the first
place.
However, as soon as Caspian and Willow got up, a few people blocked their path.
The male classmates were keen to keep the drama going. They wanted to see how
awkwardly humiliating it would be when Caspian and Willow were exposed in front of
everyone.
“What are you doing?” Willow asked with a slight frown.

“Why are you leaving so soon? You should at least wait until my uncle gets here. I’d like to
see if you’re really the CEO of Southlake Corporation and the so–called Diatoranian God of
War. Hah! What a joke!” Fritz declared smugly.
He was not going to let Caspian and Willow leave now.
In fact, he might even be able to use this chance to establish a connection with the real
CEO of Southlake Corporation.
Or perhaps he could use this to threaten Willow after the gathering and demand certain
things
from her.
What he truly wanted was to get Willow in bed.
“Why, you…” Willow exclaimed vexedly.

“My wife was gracious enough to drop the matter, but since you insist on digging your
own grave, don’t blame us for not showing any mercy!” Caspian declared icily.
He patted Willow on the shoulder and gestured for her to take a seat.
Fritz cocked an eyebrow. He could not believe how arrogant Caspian was. What gave him
the nerve to boast like that?
He thought that once his uncle came over, Caspian and Willow would be exposed.
The others around the table were also looking forward to the show.
All of a sudden, someone kicked the door open.

woman?”
A burly man with a ferocious expression rushed into the dining room with a few of his
subordinates.
Kelsie leaped to her feet in excitement. She hugged the man’s arm as she whined, “You’re
finally here, Benny! I’ve been waiting for you!”
All this while, Bernard Underhill had been working with Lincoln. For some reason, Lincoln
established a partnership with Southlake Corporation a while ago.
That did not affect Bernárd, however. In fact, even more people tried to butter him up.
Many women threw themselves at him too, and Kelsie was one of them.
Even though Kelsie was rather tacky, Bernard was still somewhat satisfied with her. She
performed well in bed, so he was fond of her.
When he found out that his lover had been hit, he was infuriated. Who dared to hit his s
woman? Did they have a death wish?

Wrapping his arm around Kelsie’s waist and fondling her butt, Bernard asked, “Who’s the
bastard that hit you, babe? I’ll break his legs!”
“That’s him! Look at my face! It still hurts,” Kelsie whined as she pointed at Caspian.
“Alright. I’ll break…”
Bernard’s words faltered. The moment he spotted Caspian, he was stupefied.
“Cas… Wil…” Bernard gasped.
He knew full well who Caspian and Willow were.
When Lincoln went to meet those two, Bernard had tagged along as Lincoln’s bodyguard.
Furthermore, Lincoln had warned Bernard not to antagonize Caspian and Willow.
Naturally, Bernard would not have forgotten the faces of people who even Lincoln feared.
Sweating profusely, Bernard gulped. He could not speak..
In an instant, he was filled with frustration and regret, as well as terror.
“What are you doing, Benny? Hit him! Help me get revenge!” Kelsie said with a pout when
she saw Bernard freezing in place.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Bernard slapped her.
