Chapter 200:

The male escort was hit in the eye, temporarily blinded, and rendered helpless. He quickly collapsed to the ground.

Alice grabbed a nearby object and sprang into action.

The attacker had underestimated her, attacking half-heartedly. He was not prepared for her quick and powerful response. In the midst of her distraction, she smashed a vase over her head.

Blood immediately gushed from the wound.

The man stiffened, his eyes empty, and fell to the ground under Alice's intense gaze.

Out of breath, Alice quickly called the police and knelt down to assess her companion's condition.

Fortunately, his injuries were minor.

The police and an ambulance arrived at the same time, taking the assailant and his bodyguard to the hospital, while Alicia headed to the police station.

In the back of the police car, Alicia watched the assailant on the stretcher, her mind reeling from shock. She wasn't surprised by the altercation, considering her previous entanglements with Joshua and Lilliana. Lately, Caden had managed to maintain stability, allowing her a semblance of peace.

Her recent concern for Caden had made her forget the potential dangers.

Silently pondering, Alicia realized that without Caden's coach's self-defense training, she might not have been able to protect herself so effectively tonight.

She could have been seriously injured.

At the police station, Alicia cooperated fully and gave a frank statement.

"Don't worry, Miss Bennett. We are investigating thoroughly. Your order will not be in vain," the officer reassured her.

This unexpected kindness caught Alice off guard.

She did not feel deserving of such courtesy from an agent, but she responded with a gesture of gratitude.

After finishing his statement, the officer informed him: “Your family has been notified. Please sign here and you may leave.”
