The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 11 70th Birthday

Caspian decided to bully Thomas openly.

That was how Thomas treated him in the past. He wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine.

He urged, “Hurry up and do it. I don’t think I have the courage to drink the water you bring me if you don’t

swear on it.”

Those words infuriated Thomas. He had no way of backing down.

Even so, he couldn’t blow a fuse before Caspian. Things were different now. Caspian was now the board

chairman, and he needed this job.

He had to keep his temper in check no matter how peeved he was. “I swear that I won’t curse you behind your back. If I do, I’m a son of a bitch,” he swore.

Dejected, he turned and left after swearing.

Willow entered Caspian’s office when she was done with her work.

“Today is my grandmother’s 70th birthday. Why don’t you come home with me?” she asked him

expectantly.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I’m not in the least prepared.” 1

“It doesn’t matter. You’re my husband. My grandmother will like whatever you gift her.”

“Then perhaps we should get our marriage certificates first,” Caspian suggested.

She blushed when she heard that. 1

After obtaining the certificates, they went to the Stewart Residence.

The mansion was grand and magnificent. It was well-decorated today.

It was Marilyn Stewart’s 70th birthday banquet tonight. She was the head of the Stewart family.

Her children and grandchildren brought her expensive gifts.

Alicia Stewart, Willow’s younger cousin, said, “Grandma! I heard you are a devout believer. This emerald ornament is made from fine-quality emerald. I met Father Paulo at the church. I pleaded for a long time.

before he agreed to bless it for me.

“Someone offered me three million dollars for it a few days ago. I declined the offer because I wanted to

give it to you as a present.”

Her fiancé, Richard Hudson, said, “Grandma, I heard you’ve taken a liking to Green Mountain Coffee recently. I specifically brought back one of its oldest coffee trees from Mount Quille.

“Everyone who loves Green Mountain Coffee will flock to the mountain every year. I went through a lot of

trouble to get it.”

Then, Alicia’s father, Donald Stewart, said, “Mom, here’s a rock that’s shaped like a four-leaf clover. It’s most certainly not artificially sculpted. It’s so natural that it’s like God carved it himself.

“I could only acquire it because you give me your blessings, Mom. Today, I’ll gift it to you. I wish you a long and blessed life.”

Marilyn scanned the lavish gifts they gave her. She guffawed. “Wonderful! You’re all very kind. Come, sit.”

Everyone looked radiant as they sat at the dinner table. It was merry and joyful.

“Come, Alicia. Here’s a toast to you.’

“Mr. Richard, here’s a toast to you, too. Thanks to you, Alicia sealed the deal and brought more joy to
