Chapter 137:

? ? ? ? ?

As Alicia's face began to turn purple blue, Joshua released her and pushed her away. Breathing heavily, he looked at her in disgust. “Do you really think Caden cares about you? He's even more ruthless with women than I am. You’ll soon regret your decisions.”

Alicia's vision blurred as she gasped desperately for air. By the time she managed to breathe again, Joshua had already left, slamming the door behind her. She struggled to her feet and tried to open the door. Unfortunately, it was locked again.

Leaning weakly against the wall, she heard a commotion outside, followed by the sound of a car driving away. She walked over to the window and saw Joshua's car disappear from view.

When she realized that no one came to open the door, she realized that they had every intention of keeping her confined.

Her hopes dashed, Alice was no longer afraid of Joshua. She opened the window, closed her eyes, and jumped out.

Meanwhile, Caden sat in his office at Blizzard Group headquarters. He put his phone down, paused briefly, and returned to his work.

After a moment, he said to Hank, “Schedule a meeting for thirty minutes later.”

Hank, looking confused, replied, "Mr. Ward, didn't you say that you had plans today and that you told everyone to leave early?"

Without looking up, Caden replied flatly, “Go away. Don’t bother showing up for work tomorrow.”

Hank flinched at the coldness in his voice. He didn't understand why the boss was so irritable all of a sudden.

Afterwards, Hank went out to prepare for the next meeting.

The meeting dragged on until 9 p.m., with executives leaving one by one. Caden returned to his office, concentrating on organizing key projects.

Moments later, Hank came in with takeout. “You must be hungry, Mr. Ward. “I brought you something to eat.”
