The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 6

Caspian sat at his desk and waited for Willow to return. He was also waiting to become the company’s

largest shareholder.

Instead, Melanie and Bobby returned to the company before Willow did.

As soon as Melanie entered the company, Thomas rushed up to her and said angrily, “Melanie, we’ve

been waiting for you. Quick, return our money!

“Damn it! Your husband is really a scumbag. He went behind our backs and reported us to Ms.

Stewart.”

He continued in anger, “Everyone in the company had a pay cut this morning. There’s no place for

negotiation. Return everyone’s money right now!”

Thomas’ heated rant left Melanie stunned at the entrance.

After some time, she gathered what had happened in the office by her colleagues’ accusations.

Bewildered, Melanie stood at the entrance after getting shouted at by Thomas.

She was furious as well. She had finally divorced Caspian, and yet this beggar was still embarrassing

her at the company.

In a fit of rage, she fished out the divorce certificate from her bag and held it up over her head.

She announced to her colleagues at the office, “All of you, take a good look. Caspian and I are already

divorced and I have the divorce certificate on hand.

“From now on, we will go our separate ways. There’s absolutely nothing between us anymore!”

Everyone immediately fell into stunned silence.

No one expected to hear the sudden news of Melanie and Caspian’s divorce.

Thomas snatched the divorce certificate from Melanie and read it in a hurry. “Fuck! Have you two really

divorced? You guys got divorced today?”

Melanie stuffed the divorce certificate back into her bag. Feeling aggrieved, tears streamed down her

face.

“You guys came to me for help after suffering injustice in the company. Who do I turn to when I feel

wronged?

“When Caspian and I were married for the past six months, we lived in a rental house and wore cheap

clothing.

“I never had the chance to have a meal at a restaurant.

“Every day, I had to endure the mockery of my colleagues because of Caspian’s job as a deliveryman

in this building.

“I have no one to complain to regarding all these grievances.”

She continued, “Caspian even had to show off in front of me at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

“He hired an actress and rented a knockoff car. He claimed that there was a billion dollars inside the

bank card he got me and bragged that his car was worth ten million dollars.

“He even set a pile of fake luxury handbags and counterfeit cosmetics on fire in front of me.

“He pretended to be loaded and showed off in public as if he was some big shot. Who can I turn to to

air my grievances?”

She turned to her colleagues. “In comparison, what you suffered just now was nothing. You guys only

lost half a day’s wages. On the other hand, my first marriage failed, and I lost six months of my youth!”

A woman’s tears were a weapon that could move even hearts of stone, especially when it was from a

beautiful woman like Melanie.

Earlier, the colleagues from the office were still clamoring to receive compensation from Melanie.

However, they were all worked up upon hearing Melanie’s grievances. They were indignant and

determined to seek justice for Melanie.

Even though everyone clearly saw Melanie on Bobby’s arm when they entered, that didn’t deter them

from seeking justice on her behalf.

They directed their anger on Caspian once again.

Thomas was the first one to rush over to Caspian. He pointed a finger at him and cursed, “Caspian,

you’re just garbage! Get out of our company! Your disgusting smell is ruining the environment here at

the office!

“A beautiful woman like Melanie is wasted on you. You don’t even know how to appreciate a wonderful

woman like her.”

He continued, “Even after the divorce, you hired an actress to show off in front of your ex-wife. You

even dared to claim that you have a billion dollars in assets! Why don’t you say that you’re a

billionaire’s long-lost son?”

After Thomas was finished, other colleagues surrounded Caspian and bombarded him with insults.

The office was filled with shouts of vulgarity. It was as if Caspian had committed an unforgivable crime.

Caspian looked around and his gaze landed on Bobby’s smug expression. He had a gloating look on

his one-eyed, pockmarked face.

Caspian remarked, “You’re all scolding me to suck up to Bobby, right? That’s because his father is

David Mason, the general manager of our company.

“Even when all of you knew that Melanie cheated on me with Bobby behind my back, you didn’t dare to

blame Bobby because of his father’s influence.

“All of you are bullies who only pick on the weak.

“That’s why I am being attacked mercilessly by everyone, with Thomas in the lead. Isn’t that right?”

Caspian’s words pierced deeply into everyone’s hearts.

They raised their voices and rebuked him harshly.

The louder their accusations, the more convinced they were in their self-proclaimed roles as arbiters of

justice in the office.

After some time, Bobby held out his hand for everyone to quieten down.

The colleagues who had surrounded and accused Caspian fell silent.

With a smirk, Bobby came over to Caspian with a triumphant look on his face.

He went close to Caspian’s ear and whispered arrogantly, “You’re right. Thomas is my lackey. It was

my idea to have our colleagues ostracize and target you repeatedly. I did this for one purpose, which

was to win Melanie over!”

He continued, “I wanted to make her divorce a miserable deliveryman like you! Take a look at yourself.

“Are you worthy of Melanie? A pathetic loser like you has no right to be with her! At this moment, you

must be so furious that you want to punch me. Come on, go ahead! Hit me!”

Taking a step back, Bobby pointed at Caspian and berated him mercilessly, “Caspian, my car is the top

model BMW Z4 sports car. It costs tens of thousands of dollars. I don’t care if you have to sell your

assets or your kidneys.

“Whatever it takes, get me a new one, and we will consider this matter settled. Otherwise, I will report

you to the police and escalate this problem. You might not even be able to get out of jail after ten

years!”

Thomas asked Melanie what happened to Bobby’s sports car. Eventually, the other colleagues also

knew about Bobby’s BMW sports car getting crushed into a sheet of metal.

Everyone started attacking Caspian verbally. Each of them was eager to get a word in as the

accusations against Caspian grew stronger and stronger.

Not long after, someone amongst the employees shouted, “Break it up, Ms. Stewart is back!”

Everyone dispersed and returned to their desks.

They pretended to be busy at work, fingers clicking away at their keyboards.

“If you don’t get me a new car, get ready to be thrown in prison! Go on and show off, you loser!” Bobby

uttered a threat and returned to his own desk.

Amidst all this, Melanie didn’t look Caspian in the eye. She didn’t dare to meet his gaze. She knew that

her motive for being with Bobby was not because of love, but because he had more money.

At the same time, she knew that Caspian was innocent. The accusations hurled by their colleagues

were not true. Melanie knew better than anyone else that every penny Caspian earned was spent on

her. What he received in return was betrayal. Melanie took the moral high ground and twisted the truth.

As a result, she turned the tables on Caspian in public.

Nonetheless, Melanie tried to console herself, “Melanie, you haven’t done anything wrong. People are

willing to die in the pursuit of money.

“It’s not your fault for wanting a better life. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Caspian, that poor loser, just can’t measure up. He is facing the consequences of his own doing!”

Caspian glanced at Melanie, who had a conflicted expression on her face. Then, he looked at Bobby,

who was staring daggers at him.

Lastly, he swept his gaze at Thomas and other colleagues who looked proud of themselves. Caspian

couldn’t help but smile.

He had led his soldiers of Diadem Hall to war at the borders and fought for the protection of Diatoran’s

people. He never expected that among those whom he protected were a group of twisted individuals

who corrupted the truth and looked down on the poor.

When Caspian was reminded of his men who had died on the battlefield, an angry smirk appeared on

his face.

Initially, he hadn’t planned on dealing with insignificant fleas like them, but they had become too

bothersome to ignore.

It was time to teach them a lesson.

Before long, Willow walked to the CEO’s office in her high heels. Caspian got up and followed after her.

Thomas had a disdainful smile on his face when Caspian walked past. “Hey, the loser is going to tattle

to the boss again.”

Caspian reached out and grabbed onto the back of Thomas’ head. With a loud thud, Thomas’ face was

slammed into the desk.

Almost immediately, chaos erupted in the office.

“Bastard, if you want to continue working here, prepare that report for me right now. Any later, I will

make you work through the night until morning!”

With that, Caspian strode in the direction of Willow’s office.

The colleagues in the office were stunned.

Was he the same person as the loser, Caspian, who had no guts to stand up for himself?

At that moment, everyone had the feeling that Caspian had become a different person.

Melanie considered herself to be the person who knew Caspian best. Even she realized that the

Caspian she saw just now seemed inexplicably foreign to her.

The previous Caspian she knew was a loser who was always drenched in sweat. He wore a dirty

courier uniform that hadn’t been washed for days.

On the other hand, the Caspian at this moment exuded a commanding aura.

With his menacing glare, he looked like a mighty general going to battle, fully suited up in shining

armor.
