Chapter 52 Chased Out of the Villa
+25 BONUS
Upon returning to the Stewart Residence, Kate told everyone that Caspian was merely an
ordinary guard. The members of the Stewart family found it hard to believe.
In no time, the news traveled to Alicia and Richard. Upon learning that Caspian was a
regular guard and not some big shot, Alicia began planning to cause trouble for him.
Meanwhile, Caspian and Sylvia rushed to South Aridlands. After he left, all the soldiers
stationed at Southlake City were also withdrawn.
The news of Caspian being a mere guard spread like wildfire. And before long, everyone in
Southlake City knew about it.
Moreover, they also learned the reason behind why he could host a unique wedding
ceremony. It was because he had saved John. Hence, the latter came personally to support
Caspian.
In just one night, the people no longer admired him. Instead, their feelings had turned into
disdain and contempt.
Initially, they thought Caspian was indeed an influential figure. But after all that, he was
simply relying on someone else to make an impression.
Kate felt regretful when she knew that Caspian’s real identity had spread throughout
Southlake City. If she had not said a word, no one would have known.
Then, everyone would still think he was a big shot and show her great respect. However,
since she acted impulsively, it was too late to change anything.
When Kate moved into Riverside Villa, she insisted that Carl move in as well. Initially, Carl
did not want to stay in the villa. However, Kate forced him to, leaving him no choice.
In the following days, Willow had to clock in to work on time every day. Occasionally, she
needed to work overtime as well.
After all, she had just taken on her new position at Southlake Corporation. Thus, Willow
wanted to familiarize herself with the company’s operations.
At the same time, Carl held a significant position at Stewart Group, too. So, he needed to
work every day as well.
With that, Kate and Lilith were the only ones left in the villa. Ever since Kate found out that
Caspian was a regular guard, she became less fond of Lilith.
Taking advantage of Willow’s and Carl’s absence, she always instructed Lilith to do the
house chores. Nevertheless, Lilith, who lived in the countryside for a long time, did not
complain.

The latter even thought of chasing Lilith out of the house. Kate wished that she and her
family
could have the villa to themselves.
With that plan in mind, she started to make things difficult for Lilith. Kate would
deliberately throw stuff on the floor and then demand Lilith to clean it up. She would even
spill coffee on the floor, asking Lilith to mop it up.
Lilith was merely an ordinary woman from the countryside. Yet, she spent most of her time
in the villa doing house chores.
But, of course, Willow and Carl were completely unaware of this.
Though Lilith was willing to do the chores without complaints, she also had a temper. She
started to feel upset as Kate bossed her around every day.
If it were not because she had made a promise to Caspian, Lilith would have left. She
could not
help but think that life in the countryside was much better.
Then, one late evening, Willow and Carl still had not returned.
“Lilith, pour some water for me. I want to wash my feet,” Kate ordered.
But Lilith did not retort. After Kate was done washing her feet, she started bossing Lilith
around again.
“You look like you have a lot of free time. Go pour out the water, then,” Kate instructed
while lounging on the couch.
Lilith did not expect Kate’s behavior to become so absurd. In an instant, fury overwhelmed
the former. “I’m not your maid! I won’t do this!
“I clean up the house for the sake of my child. Why should I serve you?”
“You’re a woman from the countryside, and now you get to live in such a lovely villa.
What’s wrong with asking you to do a few chores?
“The apple never falls far from the tree. You’re just as useless as Caspian!” Kate yelled. As
she spoke, she kicked the basin, spilling the water everywhere.
She continued shouting, “Clean this up now! Otherwise, get out of this villa! Don’t stay
here any longer!”
“Fine! I’m leaving right now!” Lilith snapped. She couldn’t take it anymore and decided to
leave.
At that moment, it was already past 11:00 pm. The surroundings of Riverside Villa were
exceptionally quiet. Besides, it was far from her countryside home.

Lilith considered going somewhere with more people to hail a taxi. However, after a brief
stroll, she arrived near a park.
There, she saw a young woman glancing over her shoulder anxiously. It was as if the
woman was in trouble.
Shortly after, Lilith noticed several young men following closely behind the woman. They
appeared to have ill intentions.
Lilith’s expression darkened at that sight. Nevertheless, she did not approach them
immediately. Instead, she stood in the dark shadows of the trees and observed silently.
“What do you want?” the beautiful young woman asked. At that point, she was already
trembling with fear.
The
young woman was Priscilla Hill. She was a college senior about to graduate.
“Hey, sweetheart, Mr. York thinks you’re beautiful and would like to take you for a ride.
How does that sound?” Billy Jennings, a burly man, asked with malicious intent.
The “Mr. York” he mentioned was from the most influential aristocratic family in Southlake
City, the York family. To be precise, Billy was talking about Derek York.
Right then, Derek was sitting in a Lamborghini nearby. Lilith noticed the sports car.
Moreover, there were a few other cars following behind. There were about seven or eight
luxury cars, including Ferraris and Rolls–Royces.
“I’m not interested! Let me go! Otherwise, I’ll call the cops!” Priscilla said anxiously.
Upon hearing those words, Billy flashed a wicked smile. “Look at how quiet this place is at
this hour. Do you think anyone will come to such a secluded place?
“Even if you scream at the top of your lungs, no one will come and save you!”
In the next instant, Priscilla shouted, “Help! Someone, help!”
“Bring her into the car now!” Billy ordered.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, several underlings charged toward Priscilla.
They wanted to carry her into the car.
“Help! Please, someone, help!” Priscilla was terrified and cried for help with all her might.
Seeing that a woman was in danger, Lilith could not stand by and do nothing. She stepped
out of the shadows, yelling, “What are you doing? Let her go!”
Billy and his men instantly turned their heads in the direction of her voice.

On the other hand, Willow had just returned to the villa. She saw the water spilled on the
floor while Kate lounged on the couch.
“Mom, what’s this? Why is there so much water on the floor?” Willow could not help but
ask.
Kate answered, “I accidentally spilled the water. I’ll clean it up in a while.”
At the same time, Willow noticed Lilith was nowhere to be seen. “Where’s Madam
Ziegler?”
“That unruly woman insisted on leaving after I scolded her briefly!” Kate exclaimed.
Her answer left Willow momentarily stunned. She had thought her mother was on good
terms with Lilith. “What? Why did you scold Madam Ziegler?”
“She’s as useless as Caspian! All I asked her to do was pour out the water in the basin.
Yet, she refused. I nagged at her a little, and she got upset,” Kate replied indifferently.
Willow was somewhat furious. “Mom, you’ve gone too far! Madam Ziegler is Caspian’s
foster mother, after all. You have an equal relationship.
“She’s not our cleaner or maid! How could you treat her like that?”
Before Caspian left, he was worried that Kate would bully Lilith. Hence, he had repeatedly
instructed Willow to look out for Lilith.
And at that time, she promised him that Lilith would have a comfortable stay. However, at
that moment, such a situation had occurred.
Kate, whom Willow reprimanded, became mad. “Equal relationship? Why should we be
equal? She’s a woman from the countryside! What right does she have to stay with me?
“Is she even worthy of being near me? I can’t stand the sight of her, so it’s good that she
left!”
“When did she leave?” Right then, Willow refused to continue the topic. She knew she had
to bring Lilith back as soon as possible.
Moreover, it was late at night, and Lilith was unfamiliar with the area. If something were to
happen to her, Willow would not be able to face Caspian.
Yet, Kate remained unconcerned as she answered, “About half an hour ago.”
In an instant, Willow rushed out the door. She did not even stop for a second to put her
bag
down.
“What are you doing? Why are you going out at this hour?” asked Kate.
“I’m going to look for Madam Ziegler! If anything happens to her, I’ll never forgive you!”
Willow responded as she ran.
After that, she got into the Rolls–Royce and left the villa.
