Chapter 32:

? ? ? ? ?

Joshua made a surprise proposal.

This shocking announcement hit the news, and netizens, who had been targeting Lilliana, soon redirected their attention. They began digging into Joshua's past, looking for any trace of his relationship history, and eventually discovered that he had been married and divorced.

A lot of hidden information came to light. In essence, Lilliana's scandal took a backseat. Joshua bore the brunt of the online backlash for her.

Caden's gaze shifted to the screen. He let out a slight scoff.

"What a touching love story," she commented.

Alicia stared at the screen, almost enthralled by the unfolding events. The screen soon changed to a video. It showed Joshua's heartfelt confession. It told how he and Lilliana met and fell in love.

Joshua then showed off a dazzling diamond ring and gently placed it on Lilliana's finger. The camera's zoom lens captured the moment clearly.

Alice's eyes filled with tears and her breathing became labored.

Caden turned to look at her, his indifferent gaze taking in her fragile expression.

Alicia lowered her eyes, trying to mask her emotions. “It's just a proposal. What's so touching about it? Honestly, I find it a bit cliché. That diamond ring seems like a rip-off. It’s super expensive but it’s really not worth it.”

Caden’s expression remained void of any emotion. He replied nonchalantly, “That brand of diamond ring is priceless.”

Alice's eyes reddened even more, and she laughed bitterly. "I guessed right. Joshua has lost a fortune."

Caden scoffed at his words.

"It's not really a loss," he said. "At least when he married you, he didn't spend a cent."

Alicia remained silent at his comment.
