Chapter 132 Don’t Be Impulsive
“Who’s Tony Brooks, Ms. Wildman?” asked Caspian.
Stephanie continued panicking. “He’s the local bully around these areas. I forgot to mention that the me
n you beat up earlier were also his men. I’m sure they’re now coming to you for revenge! We gotta find
a way to get rid of them!”
“Relax, Ms. Wildman. I’ll think of something.”
“Stop pretending to sound tough already! They’re ruthless hooligans! You can’t possibly deal with so m
any of them with just the two of you!”
Caspian was at a loss for words.
He never once tried to sound tough. He had already eradicated the
entirety of the Flying Dragons. These mere hooligans on the street were nothing before him.
However, he realized that Stephanie was genuinely scared of them.
He turned to Sylvia, saying, “Try to lose them, Sylvia.”
“Of course. Ms. Wildman, hold on tight!” replied Sylvia as she stepped on the gas.
Within less than a minute, they had successfully escaped from Tony’s men.
Stephanie was finally at ease as she checked the rearview mirror to confirm they were safe.
“Stop the car at the mall, Sylvia,” ordered Caspian.
Stephanie started panicking again as she was worried that the thugs might catch up. “What are we doin
g here at the mall? They might chase up to us any minute now!”
“I wanted to get some gifts for your parents, of course. Relax, they won’t be able to catch up to us.”
Caspian felt it would be inconsiderate of him if he visited Stephanie’s house with an empty.
hand.
He had often visited the Wildman residence back when he was still in high school, as Stephanie would i
nvite him over for dinner.
As a result, Stephanie’s parents also treated him as one of their own. Caspian now wanted to take the
opportunity to pay her parents a visit.
He got out of the car and purchased some generic health supplements for seniors as a gift.
He was worried that her parents might refuse the gift if he had chosen the premium supplements instea
d.
He returned to the car with the gifts and made their way to Stephanie’s house.

Sylvia followed closely behind and helped Caspian with the gifts as they headed upstairs with Stephani
e.
Caspian entered the house to find Stephanie’s mother, Veronica Pitt, sitting on the sofa.
He walked up to greet her and put down his gifts on the table. “Mrs. Wildman! It’s me!”
Veronica seemed to be dazed as she completely ignored him.
She simply sat lifeless on the sofa as she muttered to herself, “Why did you fire my daughter?
“She’s innocent!
“You bastards! Don’t hit my husband!‘ ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Caspian watched in horror at the decrepit Veronica.
He turned to Stephanie and asked, “Ms. Wildman, what’s going on?”
Stephanie looked away from him and explained, “My mom’s been like this ever since I was fired from th
e school and my dad got into an accident. It was too much of a shock for her. She would snap back and
forth between normal consciousness and a state of daze.”
Caspian’s expression immediately sank from the news. “What happened to Mr. Wildman?”
“My dad was beaten up and hospitalized 20 days ago.”
Tears started flowing down her cheeks as she explained.
“How did this happen? Why? Who did this?” asked Caspian furiously.
He finally realized why Stephanie’s life took such a harsh turn.
“I don’t want to talk about it in front of my mom…
She was afraid that Caspian might get involved and endanger himself by going against such a powerful
opponent if she were to explain everything to him.
He stopped questioning and headed toward the balcony.
He then motioned for Stephanie to follow him.
She nodded and headed over as well.
Caspian wanted to find out the truth. “What’s going on with your family, Ms. Wildman? You should’ve tol
d me about your troubles.”
However, Stephanie didn’t want to drag Caspian into her own matters. “I can tell you all about

He nodded and replied, “Of course, I just want to know what happened.”
She wiped her tears as she explained, “It’s all because of Tony Brooks.”
“Why was he targeting your father?”
Stephanie composed herself and began telling Caspian the whole story.
“It’s all related to Lana’s incident. When I was fired by the school, my dad tried to utilize his connections
as a retired teacher to prove my innocence and retain my job. Eventually, his actions put a target on hi

“20 days ago, my parents and I were surrounded by a gang of thugs on our way back from the market.
My dad tried to fight them off, but how could one man possibly win against a group of thugs with weapo

“And my mom… She was traumatized by all that happened.”
Stephanie started sobbing uncontrollably as she finished her story.
Caspian was enraged as he listened to her story. He had never expected that so many evil-
doors lurked within Southlake City.
He believed the incident was more than met the eye, that Tony Brooks was merely carrying out orders fo
