Chapter 189:

? ? ? ? ?

Deep down, Joshua understood the reality of the situation. Alicia was the only one capable of accomplishing such feats. Despite the sacrifices she had made for him in the past, she had enough principles to end things if she was pushed too far, even if it meant walking away penniless.

Besides, she wasn't stupid.

Joshua recognized that his previous patience and tolerance was not due to fear, but to love.

However, when he stopped to reflect, a new thought struck him.

Maybe it wasn't love after all.

Maybe he was just settling a debt.

Otherwise, why would he conspire against him, cornering him?

With these thoughts, Joshua slowly clenched his fists.

While driving back, a call from Lilliana interrupted his thoughts.

She sounded irritated. “Why aren’t you back yet?”

At a red light, he replied nonchalantly: “I just got out of the hospital. “I’m on my way.”

“The new maid is a mess. She's driving me crazy. Get back here and take care of this,” Lilliana demanded impatiently.

Joshua, ignoring her, opted to light a cigarette.

A deep breath caused him to cough violently; he felt his chest split open.

"Aren't you going to ask about my visit to the hospital?" I have challenged.
