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.

“I think you people should leave. Why bother sticking around and suffering such humiliation for Willow’s

sake?” Alicia’s mother said to Willow’s old classmates.

Willow’s friends felt awkward, but they would not be abandoning Willow at a time like this.

Time trickled away as the crowd’s taunts echoed in Willow’s ears.

As she stared at the gates of Stewart Residence, she began to feel disappointed.

She was already utterly humiliated.

Carl could not bear to see his daughter suffering such disgrace, but he could not do anything.

“Willow, do you have anything else to say? You lost our bet!” Marilyn declared.

“I have nothing to say.” Willow did not know what she should do now.

“In that case, I’ve prepared the divorce papers. All you need to do is sign it.” Marilyn passed the divorce

papers to Willow.

Willow’s expression froze. She did not see this coming.

All eyes were on Willow.

The scions of Southlake City had been eagerly anticipating this scene.

Once Willow signed the divorce papers, they would instantly get on their knees and propose to her.

“I refuse!” Willow declared while shaking her head.

“What? You don’t get to refuse!” Marilyn fumed.

“Caspian and I are the only ones who have the right to decide what happens to our marriage! No one

else can force us into doing anything!” Willow remained resolute.

“Do you want to give me a heart attack? He’s useless! Why are you clinging onto him?” Marilyn was

trembling with rage.

“No matter what happens, I’m going to wait until Caspian is here. Even if we’re getting a divorce, I want

him to say it to my face.” Willow’s gaze was steely.

“Did Caspian cast a spell on you? Do you think that good-for-nothing has the nerve to come back? Look

at Mr. Richard’s bridal party. So many people have come to support him.

“Caspian is nothing but a waste of space. He won’t even be able to get a single car, let alone 100! You NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

must divorce him at once!” Marilyn’s tone left no room for discussion.

“I trust him,” Willow declared. “He’ll keep his promise.”

“You don’t get to decide. Either get a divorce right now or be disowned by the family. From this day on,

you won’t have anything to do with the Stewart family. I don’t acknowledge you as my granddaughter!

“Even though you’re the project director of Southlake Corporation, you refuse to help the family, so why

Willow’s unyielding attitude had infuriated Marilyn.

Everyone was shocked to hear Marilyn’s threat. They never thought she would be this harsh on Willow.

She was leaving Willow with no choice in the matter at all.

Upon seeing that Marilyn was about to chase Willow out of the family, Kate panicked. She quickly urged,

” Willow, hurry up and apologize to your grandmother!

“You’re already dressed in your wedding gown anyway. Once you sign the divorce papers, you can just

pick any one of these fine young men from Southlake City who are here today. Every single one of them

is

better than Caspian!”

Willow ignored Kate. She stared at the heartless Marilyn with teary eyes and replied, “Fine. I’ll leave.

From

today onward, the Stewart family and I have nothing to do with each other!”

Wiping her tears away, she looked at Zoey and her friends. “Let’s leave this place!”

Miranda, Zoey, and the others were sorely disappointed in Caspian. They did not want to stick around

either.

The moment Willow stepped out of Stewart Residence, her tears began to flow. All of the hurt and

despondency she felt poured out of her as well.

a

She was severely disappointed in Caspian. That bastard had tricked her!

All of her faith in him had been meaningless. What on earth could have been more important than the

wedding?

When the scions of Southlake City saw Willow leaving Stewart Residence, they ran after her.

Nicholas was among them.

They brought out the rings they prepared and got down on one knee in front of Willow. “Willow, I’ve liked

you for a very long time now. Will you marry me?”

Even Nicholas was flabbergasted.

“Get away from me!” Drowning in/sorrow, Willow could not think of anything else.

Still, the scions did not give up so easily.

“I’ve been in love with you for a long time, Willow. Marry me. My family owns hundreds of properties in

Southlake City!”

“Marry me. Willow. I’ll give you a grand wedding!”

“Willow, What’s so good about that worthless slacker Caspian? I’ll give you everything he can’t give you!”

“Your incompetent husband has abandoned you and gone into hiding! As long as you put this ring on, I’ll

make you the luckiest woman in Southlake City!”

The crowd of scions blocked Willow’s path and fought among themselves to propose to her.

Just then, a deafening sound began drawing nearer.

The crowd froze and turned to look at the source of the sound.

They saw ten armored vehicles forming two lines to clear the road.

Behind the armored vehicles was a string of limited-edition luxury cars!

The grand procession of cars drove toward Stewart Residence in all its glory.
