Chapter 62:

? ? ? ? ?

Shelia hadn't initially noticed Alicia sneaking into the guest room. It wasn't until Caden came down to get medicine for her bruises that Shelia became suspicious. She came out of the master bedroom and saw Caden walking past with the medicine. She was puzzled: Caden wasn't hurt, so why would he need medicine? Then it hit her. She remembered Alicia limping when she returned.

It looked like Alice had hurt her knee.

Alicia and Caden were known for their mutual dislike. Why were they suddenly so close?

Intimidated by Caden, Shelia didn't dare knock on the door or try to spy. Instead, she waited, hoping to catch them in the act.

Soon Alice appeared.

“Did the cat get your tongue?” Shelia snapped. “I asked you what you and Caden were up to.”

Alicia relaxed visibly, her back no longer tense. “Nothing serious. “I just wanted to take a shower and accidentally walked into the wrong room.”

Shelia's lips curled into a sneer. “So, of all the guest rooms, you stumble upon his? You're amazing, Alicia. First one brother, and now the other? Your ambitions know no bounds.”

Alice's expression turned icy. "I wish I had that much talent."

Shelia scoffed. “Oh, I think you have enough talent. Do you want to play the seductress? Fine. But don't bring Joshua into this. If you break up with him for good, I'll act like today never happened. Otherwise, when Joshua comes back, I’ll make sure he sees who you really are.”

Leaning against the wall, Alice lifted her bruised knee and sighed. “And what exactly have I done?”

“You know perfectly well,” Shelia hissed.

"Without proof there is no confession," Alice replied calmly.
