Chapter 183:

? ? ? ? ?

Alicia decided not to lend Joshua any money. Furthermore, the evidence Caden had mentioned would soon become public. Joshua faced public humiliation and the threat of losing everything.

That was exactly what he deserved.

Alicia stood in a quiet corner, collecting her thoughts. Caden looked at her, with a cold laugh. “Are you scared or do you feel sorry for him?”

Alice snapped out of her thoughts. “Would I have gone that far if I felt sorry for him? I’m not crazy, am I?” She rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Although things seemed to be calming down, Lilliana's sudden appearance made Alicia uneasy. Over the past two years, Joshua had become deeply involved in the Green family. Lilliana, in love with him and pregnant with his child, was unlikely to let him go easily.

Alice's expression turned serious. "This is going to be hard, a long road..."

Caden, sensing her concern, replied, “It's my business now. “You don’t have to worry.” He reassured her, his tone firm.

Alicia wasn't the only one who had complaints against Joshua. Caden also had unfinished business with him.

Alice was momentarily surprised, but then she understood what he meant. Their mutual need for revenge no longer united them.

Suddenly, the atmosphere around him felt charged, and his first instinct was to flee. “Now that everything is settled, I think we should end this.”

Caden stared at her.

She looked down. “If it helps, thank you.”

Without saying a word, Caden gently took her chin in his hand, forcing her to look into his eyes.

Alice's eyelashes fluttered.
