Chapter 127 The Truth
“I’ll find a way. You just need to trust me,” Caspian said casually.
“Caspian, don’t provoke the Lincoln family, and don’t act rashly. The Lincoln family has a lot of
influence in Southlake City.” Stephanie reminded Caspian as she was worried that he might act impulsi
vely.
Stephanie knew about the memorial Caspian held for his foster mother. She saw Lilith’s intense battle o
n TV. However, due to her circumstances, she had to continue selling vegetables and couldn’t attend th
e memorial.
As for what transpired during the memorial service, she had no idea of it.
‘Since it’s lunchtime, shall we grab something to eat together?” Caspian suggested.
In his eyes, Belvin was merely a clown. It would be a piece of cake for Caspian to destroy him.
As for Jeremy, he needed to face the consequences of his actions.
If the Lincoln family refused to change, Caspian wouldn’t mind making them disappear from Southlake
City the same way as the York family did.
With his current authority, he didn’t even consider the York family and the Flying Dragons a threat. The
Lincoln family was nothing to him.
Caspian could bring the Lincoln family to their downfall with just a wave of his hand.
However, this incident had happened too long ago. It must have been Ezekiel who covered up the matt
er back then. Now that he had been brought to justice, Caspian would have to wait for Joey to become
the new Inspector General to proceed with the investigation.
“Come to my place. I’ll cook a few dishes for you. Eating at a restaurant is too expensive,” Stephanie s
uggested.
“Ms. Wildman, It’s just a simple meal. It won’t cost much. I can afford it,” Caspian replied.
He wouldn’t let Stephanie pay. Her life was already quite difficult, and he didn’t want to impose by eatin

“There’s rumors out there that you haven’t been working. Do you have money?” Stephanie
asked.
“As a man, I have some savings,” he replied awkwardly.
He couldn’t explain his situation in detail, so he made up a lie.
“Caspian, you were the smartest student in school back then. Now that you’re married, should find a de
cent job to support your family. Otherwise, how can you face me?” Stephanie

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely find a good job.” Caspian nodded.
He wouldn’t be upset by her words. After
all, Stephanie was like an older sister to him, and she didn’t know his true identity.
“Alright. I’ll keep an eye on you. You’ve half a month to get a job. If you still can’t get a job by then, I wo
n’t acknowledge you as my student anymore,” Stephanie remarked.
Upon hearing her words, Caspian felt a surreal feeling. It was as if he had returned to his student days,
being watched by his teacher all the time.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Wildman. Within half a month, I’ll definitely secure a very good job,” Caspian said with
a smile.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting.” She nodded.
“Let’s have a meal first and continue the conversation,” he suggested.
“Watch how I’ll spend all your savings. Then you won’t have a choice but to work,” Stephanie teased.
“Caspian, what should we eat?” asked Sylvia, who was accompanying them.
“Shall we go to that place, Amenity Hotel?” Caspian pointed not far ahead.
“Alright.” Sylvia nodded.
“Don’t go to that hotel. I heard it’s so expensive there. It’s a five–
star hotel, not a place for common people,” Stephanie said.
Although she had been teaching with a modest salary, she knew that the expenses in a five- star hotel
were beyond most people’s means.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Wildman. I have money,” assured Caspian.
When Stephanie heard his response, she didn’t say much more.
She knew Caspian had married Willow from the Stewart family, and her family was quite influential. Per
haps Willow had given him some money.
Sylvia drove them to Amenity Hotel, and the three of them entered.
The service in the five–star hotel was exceptionally attentive. As they appeared at the
entrance, the staff greeted them with smiles.
Despite their plain outfits, the staff didn’t show any contempt.
There were many influential figures who came to the hotel looking dressed down, so the staff learned t
o never judge a book by its cover.

Since Caspian had many things he wanted to discuss with Stephanie, he booked a private room.
This was Stephanie’s first time dining in such an upscale hotel, and she felt a bit uncomfortable.
After they entered the private room, Caspian ordered several dishes.
“Ms. Wildman, what about the girl? How is she now?” Caspian inquired.
“She injured her spine after jumping from the fourth floor, and she’s been undergoing treatment in the ho
“Did the school or the Lincoln family compensate her?” Caspian asked, puzzled.
“The school made me the scapegoat, but I don’t have the money to compensate her. As for
the Lincoln family, they wouldn’t offer any compensation,” she answered helplessly.
“I see. Who’s the current principal of the school?”
“The current principal is Esmond Lenard. He took over a year ago,” Stephanie replied.
“I understand.” Caspian nodded.
He felt that the previous principal wouldn’t have allowed such an outrageous situation. So it turned out th
