The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 16 Jinx

“I’ve told you before,” Caspian said. “No one should know about my identity, including my wife. Just do as I say.

“Sure,” said Miranda.

“While she holds the post, she’ll get to decide the partners of all our projects. However, you shall inform her she doesn’t have permission to collaborate with the Stewart family. If she insists, she must apply to the CEO’s office.”

Caspian told the Stewarts last night they couldn’t beg him and Willow for help. They scoffed at his words then and asked him to get lost.

assume the role instead. It would also benefit the company she established.

By then, Willow would have the authority to choose the partners for Southlake Corporation’s projects. He would love to see how those snobs from the Stewart family begged her for a chance.

“Sure. I’ll let her know when the time comes,” said Miranda.

“After she starts working, you shall assist her and make sure she knows her way about the corporation’s operation as soon as possible. I’m not interested in business. My seat will be hers in the future.”

Caspian, or Lord Caspian, was the leader of his troops at the borders. He was concerned with the security of Diatoran. His job was to protect his country.

He wasn’t in the least interested in the business industry.

He bought over Southlake Corporation as a gift for Willow. She would have to give her all to scout for resources and networks for her small company. He didn’t want her to be so tired.

His wife strived to succeed in her career, so he would help her reach the top.

Besides, according to Sylvia’s intel, he had a gut feeling there would be a war again. A storm was brewing at the borders of Diatoran. Their enemies could make a comeback soon.

Therefore, he arranged for Willow to take over the largest corporation in Southlake City-Southlake Corporation as quickly as possible.

As for the Hudson family, the Stewart family, and the employees in her company who looked down on him, Caspian didn’t want to waste his time dealing with them.
