Chapter 175:

Alicia sat down at the table and began to eat her breakfast. Caden, with a serious expression, pulled up a chair and joined her.

As she picked up the fork, Alice slapped her hand away. “Do you think you can just eat? If you’re hungry, make yourself something.”

Caden was momentarily speechless. It was the first time anyone had shown him such contempt. His pride was too great to swallow.

He leaned back, arms crossed, and stared at her. “Joshua may not be able to get his hands on that two hundred million dollars, but he'll surely find other ways to fund his business. Do you want me to ask you for money?”

Alice stopped chewing. The offer was tempting. She looked at him closely. “I have some funds, but would you really grow before me?”

“I have my ways,” Caden replied, his brief words carrying weight.

She was confident Caden could handle it. Imagining Joshua pleading amused her, dissolving her irritation.

She slid her plate towards him. “Go ahead. Eat.”

Caden didn't move. “No, thanks. “I need my omelet.”

Ever flexible, Alicia stood up. “I’ll get it ready now.” A smile played on Caden's lips. “But you said you were short on time?”

“Wait,” Alicia replied, quickly getting to work. Meanwhile, Caden calmly sipped his coffee and wolfed down his sandwich.

When Alice came back with the omelette, she found the table empty. She looked around in confusion. “You didn't want omelette?”

"I've changed my mind."

Caden used a napkin to wipe his mouth and left the room.
