The Almighty Lord Caspian

8 There’s No Need to Rush 

Willow stared at Caspian in shock. 

She thought that Caspian was bragging in front of her. 

Even when she saw the 12 million dollars deposited into the company’s account, she couldn’t believe that it was Caspian’s doing. 

Willow opened the details of the transfer in the transaction records. There was no doubt that Caspian transferred the money. 

The timestamp of the transfer matched the moment when Caspian fiddled on his phone. 

Willow was curious about which bank could transfer such a huge amount to her company’s account in an instant. It was unbelievable. 

However, Caspian was acting differently today. He kept making one surprising move after another, leaving Willow astonished. 

When he said he wanted to be a shareholder, he acted swiftly. 

Without any hesitation, he transferred the money, and it appeared immediately in the company’s account. 

Was this decisive man the same Caspian that she had known before? 

Willow couldn’t believe what was happening. She felt as if she was in a dream. 

It was time to wake up. 

Willow placed her hand on her thigh and pinched herself hard. She almost cried out in pain. 

The pain was vivid and real. 

This wasn’t a dream. Everything happening before her was real. 

In a daze, Willow stared at the computer screen. 

She turned to face Caspian, who was sitting calmly across from her. 

She still couldn’t believe it. 

“Caspian, did you really transfer 12 million dollars from your account?” 

Caspian smiled when he saw the dumbstruck look on Willow’s beautiful face. 

+15 BONUS 

He had always thought that Willow was a standoffish female CEO with a stony expression on her face. 

This was the first time Caspian saw her adorable side. 

He said with a smile, “Do I need to deceive you for such a small amount of money?” 

“No, that’s not what I meant …” Flustered, Willow was at a loss for words. 

She didn’t know whether she should sit or stand in front of Caspian. 

Willow uncrossed her legs and placed her hands neatly on her thighs. 

After all, Caspian’s position in the company had changed in an instant. 

A moment ago, he was one of the company’s employees and her subordinate. 

Right now, he was the largest shareholder of the company. 

Willow repositioned her hands on the desk after a minute. 

She felt that it was indecent to put her hands on her thighs, especially when she was wearing a skirt. 

Her gesture might cause Caspian to misunderstand, thinking she was doing something inappropriate with 

her hands under the table. 

Willow’s cheeks turned crimson. 

She didn’t know what to do or say at this moment. 

Looking at Caspian, Willow felt uneasy, as if she was on pins and needles. 

Caspian chuckled when he saw how flustered Willow was. 

Shaking his head, he coughed and came to Willow’s rescue. 

“Willow, don’t be concerned by what happened just now. Anyone sitting in your position would have thought that I was speaking nonsense. 

“Let’s consider it a thing of the past. In the future, we will continue working together as we have always been.” 

When Willow heard Caspian’s words, she was considerably relieved. She felt so embarrassed by her actions earlier. 

Caspian had offered to finance her company and help her through the crisis. On the other hand, she had not shown gratitude and mocked Caspian for boasting instead. 

+15 BONUS 

Willow was reminded of Alan who had tried to bankrupt her company with his cunning tricks. She even 

considered him a close friend and an industry mentor. 

Thinking about it, it seemed absurd now. 

Willow tried to regain her composure and chuckled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, Caspian. I misunderstood your 

just now.” 

Caspian waved it away. “Willow, there’s no need to be so polite. Although I hold the majority of the 

company’s shares, I will not interfere in the company’s affairs, nor will I bring my own people into the 

office. 1 

“On the surface, I may be the largest shareholder, but the decision-making of the company is still in your 

hands.” 

He continued, “I’m only responsible for taking my share when the company profits, or covering my share if 

the company loses money. 

“So, you should use the 12 million dollars wisely and don’t let it go to waste!” 

Caspian’s words put Willow’s mind at ease. 

If she had known earlier that Caspian would really invest 12 million dollars into her company, she 

wouldn’t have accepted his terms for 51% of the company’s shares. 

Owning 51% of the company’s shares meant that he had absolute control over the company. 

If Caspian did not know how to manage the company and messed things up, all the hard work Willow had 

put into it over the years would go up in smoke. 

His words gave reassurance to Willow. 

If Caspian did not interfere in the running and management of the company, Willow had the confidence to recoup Caspian’s investment through dividends within 3 to 4 years. 

When she thought of how Caspian helped her settle the company’s crisis, Willow felt a heavy burden lifted off her shoulders. 

An hour ago, she was crying in her office over the lack of 8 million dollars in funds. 

Who could have expected that 12 million dollars would appear out of thin air? 

After Willow came to her senses, her energy was renewed. 

She scrutinized Caspian’s face, who had become her savior. 

15 BONUS 

The more she looked at him, the more she liked what she saw. 

Willow wished she could pin Caspian to the wall and give him a passionate k*ss. 

She felt incredibly lucky to have encountered Caspian, her knight who appeared out of nowhere. 

He had worked at her company for nearly a year, but she never realized that Caspian was so wealthy. 

Could it be that Caspian was a secret billionaire? 

Willow placed two copies of the agreement on her desk and quickly stamped them with her company’s 

seal. 1 

She handed a copy to Caspian politely. 

When Willow went over her copy of the agreement again, her heart raced and her cheeks turned red. 

She noticed the supplementary term she had added to the bottom of the agreement. 

It read, “Once Caspian Lynch transferred an investment of 12 million dollars to the company’s account, I, 

Willow Stewart, am willing to be his woman. I will bear the consequences with no regrets.” 

Willow had added this supplementary term earlier when she thought that Caspian was showing off in 

front of her. 

Out of anger, she wrote it down in the agreement. 

But now, 12 million dollars were fully deposited into the company’s account. 

Both of them had signed the agreement and it was stamped with the company’s seal. 

Theoretically, the agreement was valid and had taken effect. 

In that case, was she going to be Caspian’s woman? 

Willow blushed at the thought of Caspian using this agreement to coerce her into going to a hotel. 

When she imagined him undressing her and engaging in intimate activities, her face turned crimson. 

Willow immediately regretted her impulsiveness. 

How could she add such an embarrassing clause to the agreement? 

Now that it had come to this, she basically shot herself in the foot. 

Blushing, Willow read the supplementary term in the agreement and turned to Caspian with an awkward 

expression 

+15 BONUS 

There was a hint of bashfulness in her attractive features. 

“Caspian…” 

Caspian was fl*pping through the agreement as well. 

When he heard Willow’s voice, he looked up. “What’s wrong, Willow?” 

Her rosy cheeks grew even redder at his question. 1 

She stammered, “Regarding the supplementary term I added to the agreement, can we . 

At this point, Willow’s mind was in a jumbled mess. 

Stuttering, she tripped over her words in nervousness. 

” 

Caspian turned to the last page of the agreement and read the supplementary term with a smile. “Willow, 

are you talking about the final term in the agreement?” 

Willow nodded quickly. “Yes, that’s the one.” 

Caspian nodded and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. 

He said, “Willow, there’s no need to rush. We have a lot of time. Didn’t the agreement say that you’re my 

woman from now on? We don’t have to do it right now. Tonight would be fine.” 

Willow’s face turned purple with indignation. 

What did he mean by that? 

The way he worded it made it seem as if she was the one eager to sleep with him. 

“No, you’ve misunderstood. I mean, is it possible if we remove the supplementary term 

Before Willow could finish, Caspian stood up and walked over to her. 

He sized her up slowly from head to toe. 

He scrutinized Willow’s beautiful face and curvaceous figure. 

Caspian bent down and whispered in Willow’s ear, “Willow, you’re truly a beauty. Not only do you have soft 

skin and an attractive face, your seductive b*dy is captivating. 

“Look at your blouse, it’s too small to accommodate your voluptuous curves. In addition, your legs look extremely S**y, especially when clad in silk stockings.” 

His warm breath tickled the sensitive skin near her ears. 

+15 BONUS 

His suggestive words caused Willow to feel very shy, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment 

Inwardly, Willow felt both vexed and humiliated. 

She had thought that Caspian was an upright man and would not take advantage of a woman. She didn’t 

expect him to be so shameless. 

He even dared to whisper such crude and lewd words in her ear to tease her. 

Willow found it hard to swallow. 

She reached out to push Caspian away from her. “Caspian, you…” 

Willow planned to create some distance between them and renegotiate the supplementary term. 

Before she could finish her sentence, Caspian k*ssed her soft and cherry-red l*ps. 

It was Willow’s first k*ss! 

Willow wanted to push Caspian away, but the passionate k*ss left her wanting more. 

When Willow watched romance movies in the past, she couldn’t understand why there were so many 

k*ssing scenes. 

What was the big deal about exchanging saliva? What was the fuss all about? 

At the moment she was k*ssing Caspian, she finally understood. She felt like she was soaring through the 

skies in a beautiful dream. 2 

Willow squeezed her eyes shut and savored her k*ss with Caspian. 

+15 BONUS 

Chapter 9 Love Comes First 

Willow was reluctant to offer her first time to Caspian so easily. 

However, she had already put it in black and white on the contract. She would be his from today onward. 

She wanted to pull away from him, but he held her with his muscular arms. 

Then, he went to the door and locked the CEO’s office from the inside. 

“Caspian, please have some self-respect. You are a married man.” Willow struggled in his arms. 

“Willow, no… Honey, I’m divorced as of today. Believe me. Look at this.” Caspian took out the divorce 

certificate he had just obtained that morning. 

He showed it to Willow. 

He continued with a playful grin, “We’ll get our marriage certificates in a while and put the supplementary 

term into effect.” 

After that, a creaking noise was heard coming from the sofa in the CEO’s office. 

They pulled away from each other only after two hours. 

They dressed themselves and tidied up the sofa. It was then that Caspian realized this was her first time! 

Willow had always insisted on keeping herself chaste. 

But the moment Caspian carried her to the sofa, he felt like a different person. 

She didn’t know why she would feel that way, but his temperament seemed completely different from 

before. 

Well, she had to keep her end of the deal. Now that she was his wife, she should be content with him as 

her husband. 

She added the supplementary term to the contract, and he fulfilled it. In that case, she would have to 

keep her promise. 

She had her own set of principles. Since she had had her first time with him, he would be her husband till 

the end of her days. 

Maybe this was destiny! 

Today happened to be her grandmother’s 70th birthday. 

She would bring Caspian back to meet her family. 

Then, her family wouldn’t force her to marry that wealthy good-for-nothing. 

Awkwardness filled the room. 

After they were neatly dressed, Willow lowered her eyes. She asked bashfully, “Caspian, can you tell me 

where you got the 12 million dollars from? 

“You’ve only worked for less than a year at this company. You even deliver parcels as a side hustle. Who 

would’ve thought you were so rich?” 

Caspian knew she was going to ask him about this. However, he couldn’t just tell her that he was Lord 

Caspian of Diadem Hall. 

After all, she might not believe it even if he did. 

So, he said, “Will you believe me if I say I have way more money than this?” 

Willow pursed her l*ps. “I’m serious. You don’t have to tell me if you’re unwilling.” 

Caspian didn’t know what to say. He could only shrug. “Well, maybe I had a stroke of luck and won the 

lottery.” 

She was stunned. Staring, she said, “Could it be… Last week, it was on the news that someone from 

Southlake City struck the first prize in the lottery. He won 15 million dollars. You were that someone?” (1 

He shook his head and smiled wryly. She didn’t believe him when he told her the truth. But she accepted 

his lies instantly. 

Well, thinking about it, that happened with a reason. 

After all, striking the lottery brought more pleasure than the fact that he was wealthy. 

“Alright, honey. Let’s talk about that later. Aren’t you going to announce my new identity to those people 

outside?” 

Rising to her feet, Willow straightened her coat and skirt. Then, she handed him a wet tissue. 

Caspian couldn’t understand her intention. Why did she abruptly give him a wet tissue?” 

She noticed he was feeling curious, and her cheeks burned. “Take a look at yourself in the mirror. There’s l*pstick on your face. Hurry up and wipe it off. What will the others think if they see that?” 

+15 BONUS 

Then, she unlocked the office door and went out. 

Caspian’s gaze followed her alluring figure as she left. He couldn’t help but feel joyful. 

He had a sudden thought. “This must be a blessing in disguise.” 

It was a very lovely blessing, indeed. 

In the office, everyone was gossiping in whispers even though they seemed busy. 

A heated discussion revolved around the same topic. Everyone was talking about the relationship 

between Caspian, Melanie, and Bobby. 

“You know what I think? I’m sure Melanie dumped Caspian for Bobby. You guys saw it, too, didn’t you? 

Melanie and Bobby came to work arm in arm!” 

Another said, “That’s for sure! Listen to me. Did none of you realize? Melanie has been using branded 

goods recently. She changed her attire, handbags, and cell phone. 

“That loser, Caspian, can’t afford all those. Did you notice? The cell phone she’s using costs 2000 dollars. 

Caspian won’t be able to get one even if he starves for three months!” 

Someone else said, “He deserves it. He’s so broke. Why would he marry such a gorgeous woman like 

Melanie? He sure as hell can’t afford her expenses. 

“It’s well known that beautiful women face more temptations in society. He’s too poor for her. She just 

has to find herself a loaded man.” 

Every word they said expressed how scornful they were of Caspian. 

Thomas was standing before a mirror. He hummed a tune as he wiped the blood trickling from his nose. 

He had his career all thought out. He had accomplished the task Bobby assigned him. 

Bobby had also achieved his objective. He won over the beauty he had eyes for. 

After this, Bobby would surely put in a word or two for him before his father, David Mason. 

David was a manager. So, Thomas would have a bright future ahead of him in the company. 

Then, if he could win Willow’s favor, he might just take over the company! 

As for Caspian? Whatever! 

He was just a loser. 

+15 BONUS 

It served him well to get dumped by his own wife. It was his fault for not being able to pay for Melanie’s 

expenses. 

He thought he had absolutely nothing to do with their divorce. 

After all, there wouldn’t be smoke without a fire. If their relationship was strong, how would Bobby come 

in between them? 

To him, Caspian deserved this ending. 

He deserved to be Thomas’ stepping stone as he climbed the corporate ladder. 

Thomas fumed inwardly, “I didn’t expect him to have the guts to hit me, though. f**k! I won’t let it slide so 

Just then, he heard the sound of a folder slapping against a table. 

Willow was the only person who would do that in the entire company. 

Every time she did that, everyone would pay attention to her. So, Thomas looked in its direction when he 

heard that familiar sound. 

To his surprise, Caspian was standing behind Willow. 

Why was that loser standing behind their gorgeous CEO? 

His wife had just cheated on him, yet he had the balls to be a snitch? 

Thomas wasn’t the only one in the office with that thought. 

Everyone else, including Melanie and Bobby, thought the same thing. 

However, things took an unexpected turn. 

Willow swept her gaze across the room and stopped when her gaze fell on Caspian. “I have an important announcement to make. 

“From now onward, Caspian, or Mr. Lynch, will be the chairman of our company’s board. Please give him a round of applause!” 

When her speech ended, a deafening silence followed. 

It was so quiet that Willow could hear her own breathing. 

Everyone was in a trance. They gaped at Caspian, feeling like they were in a dream. 

+15 BONUS 

She furrowed her dainty brows. No one clapped even though she prompted them to. 

That left her feeling awkward. 

Melanie was the most surprised of all. 

That was the loser she had just mercilessly dumped that morning. She needed to know how he became the company’s board chairman after several hours! 

She wasn’t the only one dumbstruck. Bobby, Thomas, and the rest of their colleagues were the same. 

Eventually, although everyone was still dumbfounded, scattered claps followed after Willow started to 

clap. 

Soon, someone stood and clapped his heart away while smiling. He looked like he wouldn’t stop until his 

hands were red and swollen. 

He said, “Welcome, chairman! It’s a pleasure for us to have you monitor our work. I’ve known from the 

start that Mr. Lynch is capable. 1 

“He has been working with us to understand our work attitude. I can’t believe I’ve guessed correctly. I 

wish you good fortune and success!” 

Caspian still remembered this sweet talker. He demanded Caspian to pay him his docked pay not long 

ago. 

He even publicly threatened to take revenge if Caspian refused to compensate his full pay. 

Now, he initiated a thundering ovation from the others. 

Everyone beamed kindly at Caspian. 

Caspian was unfazed by the scene before him. 

He pointed at Thomas coldly. “Thomas Miller, come with me to my office! I’d like to know the progress of 

your report.” 

Thomas shuddered. He looked like he just took a punch to his stomach. 

He had everything thought out. To him, Caspian was a loser. He had him wrapped around his finger. It 

never occurred to him he would become the chairman of the board. 

Then, Caspian announced, “Don’t worry. I’ll find time to listen to your reports one by one. Now, go get ready. You guys enjoy talking through your hats, huh? You’ll get the chance to do so before me!”
