Chapter 180:

Mr. Wade called Caden to inform him of the situation.

When Caden answered, Mr. Wade, carefully avoiding names, simply said, “It's done. When are you coming?”

Caden replied in a flat tone, “Tell him to wait.” Without another word, he ended the call.

At this moment, Caden was sitting in the banquet hall. Four people were gathered around a table, including him. Alicia was drinking non-stop, finishing one glass after another, while Caden remained expressionless. Gerry and Monica, who had just met, were chatting non-stop.

Their chatter continued on and on, leaving Alicia unable to join in. Feeling distracted, she glanced at Caden from time to time. She wondered what time it was and how many drinks he had already consumed. Why hadn't they started talking about the important matters?

Impatiently, I kicked Caden under the table.

Caden looked up. “What was that kick for?” I have asked.

Alice's lips moved slightly. She thought to herself: 'I've kicked you because I can't say it out loud. 'Why would you announce it like that?'

Just as she expected, Gerry leaned over to her. “What's wrong now?” I have asked.

Alice touched her nose. “I had a cramp in my leg. I couldn’t help it,” she said, trying to divert attention.

“What a cramp,” Caden said coldly. “You ended up kicking me.”

"It's a condition where I aim unpredictably. How unlucky you are to be sitting there!" Alice responded with a smile.

Gerry chuckled, amused by their jokes.

Realizing they were arguing again, she decided to liven things up. She nudged Caden and said, “I don't buy that excuse. Let’s switch seats, Caden.”

Caden looked at him, understanding Gerry's intention. However, he stood up and changed seats.

Alicia didn't dare to broach the subject with Caden directly, so she turned to her phone and typed a message.
