Chapter 56 Absolute Power
For a while, Willow was in a state of confusion. What
would Caspian think about this incident? How would he feel knowing that Kate bullied his
foster mother every day?
How would he react after learning that Kate chased Lilith out of the villa? And because of that, Lilith wa
s beaten to death on the street.
“Mom, wake up! Mom!” Willow screamed as her tears flowed uncontrollably.
She refused to give up just like that. So, she took out her phone and called for an ambulance. At that
moment, Willow’s hands were already stained with blood. O
After that, she
called Carl to tell him about what had happened. He had just arrived at the villa when he received the c
all.
“Willow, is something wrong?” asked Carl.
Willow cried out, “Dad! Something terrible has happened!”
Upon hearing
her cries, Carl was startled. However, he remained calm and replied, “What happened? Don’t cry. Calm
down. What exactly happened?”
“The members of the Flying Dragons have beaten Madam Ziegler to death!” Willow replied.
Carl’s face went pale immediately. He was momentarily stunned, not knowing how to process the news
. “What? What on earth happened?”
“It’s hard to explain on
the phone. Please, come over now.” Willow, too, was at a loss and had no idea how to explain
the situation.
“Where are you now?” Carl inquired.
“Riverside Park. Dad, hurry, please!”
Kate overheard that someone had been beaten
to death. “What happened? Who died?” she asked in panic.
“Willow said the members of the Flying Dragons beat Lilith to death!” Carl responded urgently.
“What? How could this happen? She was fine before!” Kate was also in shock after learning
that.
After all, she was the one who had driven Lilith out. Now that the latter had died, she could not avoid be
ing implicated.
“I’m not sure either. Let’s go find out!” said Carl.

Right then, Kate’s mind was in chaos. She could not just sit at home and wait for someone to update h
er. “I’ll go with you!”
Both Carl and Kate drove straight to Riverside Park. The park was close to their villa. So, they arrived i
n just over ten minutes.
After getting out of the car, Kate saw Lilith covered in blood. Moreover, her face was pale as she lay on
the ground.
The sight of the latter’s b*dy sent shivers down Kate’s spine. She never expected that such a serious a
ccident would happen after she chased Lilith out.
“Willow! What on earth happened? How did
Lilith get involved with the Flying Dragons?” Carl questioned. He was also terrified.
Caspian had only been gone for a little over ten days. Yet, Lilith had met such a tragic end.
“Madam Ziegler passed by and happened to see a group of people trying to harm a young lady,
Willow explained.
She continued as tears streamed down her face, “She couldn’t stand by and do nothing. So, she stepp
ed in to help the woman. But in the end, they beat her to death!”
“What does this have to do with the Flying Dragons?” Carl asked again.
Willow replied, her voice choking with tears, “It was Derek York from the York family in Southlake City.
He ordered the Flying Dragons to attack and kill Madam Ziegler.”
Carl was at a loss upon hearing that. He never expected that Lilith would die in their
hands. He knew about the York family’s influence and power in the city. Besides, no one dared to provo
ke the Flying Dragons either.
“But it’s the middle of the night! Why did Lilith come to the park?” Carl continued asking. Willow gritted
her teeth before snapping, “Why did she come to the park? Why don’t you my mother?” Right
then, she harbored resentment against Kate.
“What exactly happened? There’s no reason for Lilith to come out so late at night!” Carl turned to ask K
ate.
Knowing that she was partly responsible for the incident, Kate told him the truth. “I said something out o
f anger and chased her out of the villa.”
Suddenly, a resounding slap rang out. Carl had struck Kate across the face.

He had always been a gentle person. However, at that moment, he could not control his anger.
He immediately shouted, “Look at
what you’ve done! We’re living in Caspian’s villa! What gives you the right to
drive his foster mother out? They’re already generous enough not to

On the other hand, Kate was momentarily stunned. She never
expected that Carl would hit her. They had been married for over a decade, and not once did he lay a h
and on her.
“Carl Stewart! How dare you slap me! Are you asking for trouble?” Kate roared.
Smack!
Another sharp sound echoed. Carl had slapped her again.
“If it weren’t for you, Lilith wouldn’t have left the villa! If she
didn’t leave, she wouldn’t have died like this! How are we going to explain to Caspian when
he returns?” Carl chided.
Kate lost her composure after he slapped her twice. She immediately swung her arms and hit
him back.
“Yes, I chased her out. But does her being nosy have anything to do with me? It’s not my fault
that she died!
“What kind of man are you? If you have the guts, why don’t you confront the York family or the Flying D
ragons with a knife?” Kate shouted while waving her arms.
“Stop it! Now is not the time for you to argue! I called you here to solve this problem!” Willow
interrupted.
She was already in distress. Hence, her parents fighting at a time like this made her even more
frustrated.
At last, Kate and Carl calmed down upon hearing that.
Kate looked at Lilith’s b*dy on the ground. There was blood everywhere, and she’d sustained multiple in
of her b*dy evoked fear in Kate.
She quickly realized how brutal the members of the Flying Dragons were. Just an hour ago,
Lilith was still alive and well.
Yet, in the blink of an eye, she had met such a tragic fate. Even though Kate was not the culprit, she was
“When Caspian returns, never tell him that I chased Lilith out! Otherwise, he won’t let me off so easily!” K
she trembled with fear.
Soon, a car from the Office of Inspector General and an ambulance arrived. After making the call, Prisci
The incident shook her to the core. Moreover, she only managed to break free after a tough
struggle. So, of course, she did not want to go back.
As soon as the personnel from the Office of Inspector General arrived, they secured the scene.

With that, Willow’s last flicker of
hope had faded. The people from the Office of Inspector General proceeded to investigate the scene.
Then, they had an ambulance take Lilith’s b*dy away. Subsequently, they took Willow to the station for
questioning.
She told them the entire story–
how Lilith bravely stepped in to help a young lady, and how Derek and the members of the Flying Drago

The Office of Inspector General assured her they would
conduct a thorough investigation. They also asked her to wait for their updates at home.
Three days later, they released the report.
