The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 81:

? ? ? ? ?

Alicia bit back her frustration. “If I was any good at sweet-talking men, do you think Joshua would have left me?”

Suddenly, Caden let out a chuckle. “You're right.”

To keep him interested, he added, “When Joshua was building his business, he needed serious financial backing, so he worked closely with banks. “A lot of his business went through Randolph.”

Alice asked, "Did Randolph take his cut and cover things up for her?"

“Yes,” Caden replied.

Her heart sank, confirming what she had feared. Randolph had been involved in shady dealings. Approaching him and Rachel had been the right decision after all. She read over to Caden and asked, “Can deleted transaction records be recovered?”

He gave her a knowing smile. Alice's heart skipped a beat under his gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked, feeling a little puzzled.

“I wasn't sure why you were trying to get close to Randolph, but I understand now,” Caden replied.

Alice was speechless once again. Damn, he's tricked me into showing my true intentions, she thought.

His face tightened. “You said you could help me. That means you know something, right?”

"I considered it, but at first I thought you were only interested in Randolph."

Alice instinctively replied, "Why should I settle for anything less? I've been with better men."

Caden kept his composure, almost humbly. “I appreciate the compliment.”

Once again Alice was speechless. She blushed, turned away, and thought, “I really should stop talking.”

Later, Caden sent her something to her email. Alicia quickly checked her inbox. “What is this?”
