The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 10:

? ? ? ? ?

Joshua stopped midway, his heart dropping as he recalled Caden's disheveled appearance moments ago, along with the cold, menacing look Caden had given him.

A feeling of unease gnawed at his insides. Once the thought took root, it spread like wildfire, burning through his mind.

Could Alice be the woman Caden was talking about?

As they left the CEO's office, Lilliana grabbed Joshua's arm, pulling him toward the elevator.

“Joshua,” Lilliana said quietly, her voice laced with trepidation. “I never imagined Caden could rise so quickly, becoming CEO of Blizzard Group. And did you see the way he looked at you? He obviously hasn't forgotten his grudge. My God, I'm shaking! He's so scary! I wouldn't dream of running into him! We'd better stop bothering him about the acquisition for now. And who knows? Maybe working under him will open up more opportunities for us…”

Joshua's brow furrowed, his words barely echoing in his mind.

He agreed a couple of times before picking up the phone uneasily.

“I'm sorry, Lilliana. Something came up. “I’ll catch up with you later.”

As he spoke, he dialed Alice's number.

However, what greeted her was a cold, robotic voice informing her that the number was not available. It turned out that she had blocked it.

Meanwhile, in the office, Alice got up from her hiding place and straightened her clothes.

He had heard it all and now he was starting to put two and two together.

“The woman Joshua was with, isn't she the famous pop singer, Lilliana Green?” Alice furrowed her eyebrows. The familiar name, “Lilliana,” resonated in her mind. The famous singer had deep connections in the entertainment world.

It had to be her. Lilliana Green had to be Joshua's new partner, in more ways than one.

Caden, still dazed from the pain, looked at her with sarcasm.

"Is your husband about to have a child with another woman and you still have no idea who it is?"

Alice pursed her lips sadly.

Then, suddenly remembering the reason she had come here, she glanced at the bite mark on Caden's hand.

The area was still red and swollen, but the wound had already begun to scab over.

Calculatingly, he relaxed his expression and let out a small sigh. “I'm sorry, I didn't realize I bit you so hard,” he purred. “Hold on. “Let me clean the wound.”
