The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 44:

Alice then put the business card in her purse.

“Lilliana has a powerful team behind her, with the Green family and Joshua supporting her. I need to gather enough evidence before I ask Jeffery for help,” Alicia said. “How much does he charge?”

Gerry thought for a moment and replied, “At least a million.”

Alice shudders at the figure.

He had recently received some money from Joshua, and Gerry had paid him for the song he composed.

However, there was still a lot of spending to be done.

Could he really afford to spend that much money?

Gerry noticed her hesitation and suggested, “Why don't you sign with me? “You could write and sing for me, and I’ll make sure you’re well compensated.”

Alice shook her head.

She appreciated Gerry's offer, but accepting it would tie her work to the entertainment industry, a path she wasn't sure she wanted to follow.

With her ongoing feud with Lilliana, entering show business would be a disaster for Alice. It would only drag her down and, what was worse, it could affect Gerry as well.

Alicia was not willing to take that risk, and Gerry did not pressure her.

The car soon stopped at Alice's house.

When she left, Gerry's gaze sharpened.

He looked straight at Caden. “You've been acting weird, man.”

Caden raised an eyebrow, surprised by how quickly Gerry had caught on. “What gave him away?”

“Really? It’s so obvious!” Gerry replied.

Caden smirked. “So you were pretending to be drunk in the booth, huh?”

Gerry paused for a moment before asking, “Who said I was faking it?”
