Chapter 78:

Caden smiled as he noticed that Alicia really believed him. “You can keep looking for him when you get home. There’s no rush.”

It took Alice a moment to realize she had been tricked. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Caden looked at a nearby spot. “Do you still have time to argue with me?” he said in a level tone. “Mrs. Gray is about to walk out the door. Didn't you just defend her? Aren’t you going to take this opportunity to take credit for it?”

Alice turned towards the door. Her gaze fell on Randolph and Rachel, who were walking out together and seemed very close.

"Trying to take credit now would be a disaster, don't you think?" he said.

Randolph must have been delighted with her.

At that moment, Rachel was lost in her happiness and certainly wouldn't listen to Alicia's advice.

Caden smiled and said, “You catch on quickly.” Alicia felt a little constrained.

After all the bullying Rachel had hardened, a single touch from Randolph had made her feel overwhelmingly happy. Alicia laughed at herself.
