Chapter 50:

? ? ? ? ?

When Caden left, Alicia felt a subtle chill run through her.

It was a feeling he recognized well.

In the past, whenever they argued and she gave him a disdainful look, he would respond in kind.

He looked at her with contempt.

She felt disdain for the stupidity she perceived.

Moments later, Joshua approached her.

He was as arrogant as ever.

It had been some time since their last meeting and he seemed to have developed an even greater air of superiority.

He looked at her with contempt, as if he considered himself her savior.

Alice felt a wave of revulsion. She quickly picked up the first aid kit and handed it back to the officer.

Joshua said, “Alice, let me take you home.”

She replied firmly: "No need."

As she walked out of the police station, Joshua walked beside her.

Not far away, the group of drunks from earlier, who had been fined, loitered, watching her with predatory eyes.

Joshua's tone turned icy. “They just wanted to make fun of you. Why did you have to call the police? You didn’t give them any other choice.”

Alice stopped dead.

He clenched his fists tightly.

Joshua laughed. “Are you scared? “I can give you a hand.”

Alice stared at him.

Anger and disgust were unmistakable in his eyes.
