Chapter 752
Chapter 752 Humiliation
Sherry insisted on joining the birthday banquet because she felt she should show
up to meet the in-laws" family.
With Caspian and Willow married, it was expected for both sides of the family to
meet each other.
Alicia asked, “Willow, why do you insist on coming after what I've told you?”
Caspian explained, “Since the Stewarts had invited us, of course we're going to
show up.”
Willow replied, “What's the matter, Alicia? You seem happy to see us anyway.”
Alicia explained, “What are you talking about, Willow? Of course I'm happy to see
you. I'm just worried about what Grandma and the rest of the family would do to
you.”
Willow replied, “Don’t worry. I'm sure she won't cause too much trouble in front of
so many people.”
“Then, you guys should head inside soon,” Alicia replied as she greeted Sherry
once more before bringing them into the house.
The entire Stewart Residence was filled to the brim with guests.
Caspian and Willow's arrival quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Their outstanding presence had instantly garnered all the attention in the room
the moment they entered the house.
All the men were drooling as they stared at Willow, who was also known as the
most beautiful woman in Southlake City.
Willow had also put on very delicate makeup that made her look even more
beautiful than most celebrities.
Sherry had also dressed up for the occasion.
She might be a middle-aged woman, but she still possessed a lot of charm.
Sherry felt that she was slightly out of place with how much attention she was
getting.
As for Caspian, his presence had garnered the most attention. Previously known
as the Diatoranian God of War, he might be dismissed from his post now, but his
presence as a military man hardened by hundreds of battles was unmatched.
Everyone at the banquet tonight no longer dismissed him as a mere good—for-
nothing.
It was a completely different atmosphere from when Caspian visited Stewart
Residence for the first time.
Caspian
Was
s just a civilian like everyone else now, but the crowd still treated him with utmost
respect.
Everyone had always wanted to witness the Diatoranian God of War in the flesh.
Now that the opportunity had shown itself, they continued to stare at Caspian for
as long as they wanted.
Dozens of younger women were fascinated by Caspian.
Caspian, Willow, and Sherry’s arrival into the house had completely shifted the
crowd's attention onto the three.
The Stewarts expressions turned sour upon their arrival.
Only Carl would walk up to them and greet them with a smile, “Willow, Caspian!
It's good to see you both.”
Willow replied, “Hello, Dad. This is Caspian’s mother, Sherry Lynch. Madam
Lynch, this is my dad, Carl Stewart.”
Carl smiled. “Oh, so you're Caspian’s mother? Welcome!”
Carl had heard about Caspian finally meeting his biological mother, but this was
the first time he had met Sherry.
Sherry smiled and greeted, “Hello, Carl.”
“Sherry, why don’t you come and join us? Willow, you can join your fellow cousins
with Caspian as well.”
Suddenly, Kate shouted, “Stop right there!”
Everyone stood still in place as they were surprised by Kate's angry yell.
Carl was upset. “What are you shouting for, Kate?”
Kate continued, “Didn't your daughter say she had severed all ties with the
Stewarts? Why is she here, then?”
Kate still remembered what happened when she represented the Stewarts to talk
business with Willow.,
She was almost killed by Caspian back then as well.

Kate had been waiting for an opportunity to enact revenge on Caspian.
Now that Caspian had become a civilian and Southlake Corporation was no
more, she wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate them both.
Willow explained, “We came to wish Grandma a sincere happy birthday. We
wouldn't ever set foot in here otherwise.”
Melinda also chimed in, “Didn't you already announce that you've cut off all ties
with us? What does Mom's birthday have anything to do with you?”
Sherry’s expression soured. She had heard about the Stewarts being a bunch of
unreasonable folks, but she had never expected them to be so rude.
Willow asked, “Why send us an invitation if you don’t want to see us so badly?”
Melinda was left speechless for a while before changing the topic. “Since you're
already here, where's your gift then?”
Willow had already prepared the gift before coming over. She immediately
brought the gift toward Marilyn and smiled. “Happy birthday, Grandma. This is a
little present from us. We wish you to remain healthy for many more years to
come.”
Marilyn remained expressionless as she looked at the box. “What's in it?"
“Supplements that are very beneficial to the body!”
“Sounds great and all, but we'll see if your gift is truly sincere!” Melinda shouted.
and proceeded to open the box.
Inside the box were two bottles of melatonin supplements.
Melinda complained, “Melatonin supplements? Isn't this just some random.
supplements you can buy off the street? What's so sincere about this?”
Donald chimed in, “That's all you've got, Willow? Isn't this kinda sad?”
Kate explained, “It can’t be helped. Caspian was kicked out of the military, and
Willow had just lost her company. They don’t have much money for anything
better.”
Willow's cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
Sherry was also extremely embarrassed. It was the first time she had seen such
a distasteful family.
The guests present started discussing with each other.
They also began to belittle Caspian and Willow.

Donald explained, “The two of you should have at least given a better gift if you
actually wanted to restore your relationship with us. Don’t you think that this is
too pathetic?”
Willow replied, “Nobody said anything about restoring our relationship. I'm only
here to send my wishes to Grandma on her birthday. Say whatever you want I've
already shown enough sincerity with what I can do.”
She had thought long and hard about the gifts before deciding on supplements.
Willow decided to gift supplements that Marilyn would actually need rather than
purchasing expensive antiques that she would never give another look at again.
Kate shouted, “Save your breath, Willow. I can’t believe you would show up with
such a lousy gift. You can sit in some corner. Just don’t waste the seats we've
prepared for our guests!”
Carl angrily shouted, “Shut the hell up, Kate! Is Caspian’s mother not an
esteemed guest?”
