The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 39 I Refuse to Get a Divorce

Half an hour later, the Stewart family finally stopped bustling around and noticed Willow.

“Where’s that useless husband of yours, Willow? Why isn’t he here yet?”

“You should just cancel the wedding. That good-for-nothing Caspian has been bragging all this time. I’m

sure he has gone into hiding now because he can’t hold a wedding ceremony.”

“Why did that piece of trash even think he could compete against Mr. Richard? He humiliated himself.”

“It’s such a shame that a useless guy like Caspian got to marry a wife as beautiful as Willow.”

Some of the Stewart family’s relatives piled on their sarcastic remarks.

Willow’s cheeks flamed. She wanted nothing more than to leave at once.

However, she still recalled what happened the other night. She had seen how respectful Sylvia and the

others had been when they greeted Caspian.

Willow chose to believe Caspian. She was certain he was late because he had urgent matters to attend to.

“Willow, it’s one thing for you to humiliate yourself. Don’t let Ms. Barton suffer such humiliation with you.”

“Look at your old classmates. Are any of them worthy of being seen in public?”

The comments from the surrounding crowd became more and more distasteful.

“You can mock me and degrade me however you want, but don’t attack my friends!” Willow could not

resist shouting.

“I told you from the start that Caspian isn’t reliable,” Alicia gloated. “If you’d only agreed to be my

bridesmaid, you wouldn’t be in such a humiliating position right now. You’re the one who overestimated

yourself and insisted on competing against me.”

“Alicia, you’re going to regret what you just said. When the time comes, you’ll see why Willow is leagues

above you,” Miranda came forward and said. She could not stand hearing the comments anymore.

“Is that so? Let’s wait and see then!” Alicia retorted coldly.
