The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 53:

? ? ? ? ?

A wave of awkwardness washed over Caden.

Her initial thought was that an inappropriate photo of Alicia might be circulating.

I have looked up.

Alice, now separated from the group, stood alone and distant. Her expression soured as she considered retreating into the adjacent vegetation, clearly disturbed and intimidated by the crowd.

In a stern voice, Caden ordered, “Drive over there and confiscate their phones.”

Hank noticed immediately.

As Alicia was about to flag down a cab, a Maybach suddenly stopped in front of her, blocking her path. Hank got out of the vehicle and, with authority, demanded that the group hand over their phones.

He then deleted all the photos they had taken, right in front of Alice.

Alicia, initially shocked, soon relaxed into a smile and said, “Thanks, Hank.”

Hank modestly declined the compliment. “Mr. Ward's orders. Where are you headed, Miss Bennett? “I can offer you a ride.”

Alicia looked at Caden.

Leaning back in the backseat, Caden was absorbed in his phone, his sharp profile radiating indifference.

She hesitated a moment and then said, “Thanks for the offer, Hank, but I'm not sure if it's on your route. “I’m headed to the Yates mansion.”

Hank replied with a hint of surprise, “Actually, he is on his way. Mr. Ward is on his way, too.”

Alice was speechless.
