The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 493 Inciting Public Outrage

“I was just guessing.” Sylvia smiled awkwardly.

She couldn’t just reveal Caspian’s identity to Willow. As the commander–in–chief, Caspian

would be directing the warfare in South Aridlands. There was no way he would be at the front

lines.

“Do you know where Caspian is?” Willow asked curiously.

“He should be in South Aridlands. But I’m not sure about his exact whereabouts.” Sylvia simply made up an excuse to dodge the question.

“Well, it’s not like I’ll understand the affairs in the military. Right now, I’m more concerned about the situation at Southlake Corporation. I wonder how things are going there.”

Willow’s head was filled with thoughts about the company.

“Willow, the company has turned into ruins. There’s nothing much to see there,” Sylvia said.

Right now, all she wanted to do was protect Willow, and to do that, she needed to bring Willow to the villa. She would be safer there.

“I only want to take a look at it. Are you going to stop me?” Willow asked with annoyance.

“No,” Sylvia replied as she shook her head. There was no way she dared to go against her

wishes.

Willow and Miranda shed tears when they saw the state of the building. They both shared at deep bond with the company.
