Chapter 182:

? ? ? ? ?

Joshua stood there stunned, unable to think clearly as he took in the weight of the situation.

With a livid expression, he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Caden casually crossed his legs and replied, “I'm your elder brother, I'm here to help you. However, three billion dollars is a significant sum. Your sincerity needs confirmation.”

Joshua then realized that Caden had orchestrated this as an insult. And his goal was to humiliate him in front of Alicia.

Unable to retaliate or escape, Joshua felt trapped.

Caden had overwhelming evidence against him, and Joshua was not prepared for the confrontation.

With a smirk, Caden said, "Can't you swallow your pride? Why don't you ask the Yates or the Green family for help?"

The words struck a nerve. Joshua had once believed they would help him, but when he needed them most, they had disappeared.

Rooted to the spot, fury in his eyes, Joshua stood helpless, feeling reduced to nothing more than a joke.

Impatiently, Caden declared, “It's getting late. “I’ll call the police to take care of you.”

This was the ultimatum.

Joshua clenched his fists so hard his knuckles cracked. Straining, he roared, “Caden, what do you want from me?”

Caden's grimace widened. “Do you need me to lend you money?”

Joshua's teeth ground together, almost to the point of breaking. He was cornered, left with two terrible choices: endure Caden's insults or face imprisonment.
