The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 146:

As Caden began the countdown, Alicia felt the pressure hit her hard.

She quickly covered her watch with her hand, her cheeks flushed from the heat. “Three seconds? Really? For something this big, you should give me at least three days.”

Caden raised an eyebrow and calmly pulled his hand away. “I have the proof. If you want it, you'll have to play by my rules.”

He looked at his watch again. “And now, your time is up.”

Alicia tried to steer the conversation back. “How do I know you actually have the evidence? Let me see it.” Caden saw through his attempt immediately. “You just want to confirm it so you can track it down somewhere else, right?”

Alice was speechless.

I had forgotten how sharp it was.

"Ugh, it's the devil!" he groaned himself.

Caden saw the frustration on her face and could tell she was silently cursing him. That seemed to only lift her spirits.

The whole situation seemed strangely amusing to him.

“I work non-stop at the company every day, and just like that, $300 million of my money disappears. I gave it away to buy evidence that has nothing to do with me. After all that, I still come back here to keep you satisfied, squeezing every minute out of my day. And you, Miss Bennett, what exactly have you done?”

Alicia was caught off guard by his sudden change in tone. He made it sound like she'd been working like a slave, but hearing those words from him was oddly irritating. Caden wasn't done. “The day I had dinner with Randolph, I didn't touch a single morsel of food. When I asked you about dinner, my stomach was completely empty. I was starving. And where were you? “Curled up with your ex-husband.”

Alice twisted her lips. “‘Curled up’? That’s ridiculous.”

“But you didn't deny it at the time,” Caden replied softly.

This time, she was speechless.
