Chapter 206:

Caden's face showed little emotion, but Gerry could sense his irritation.

Gerry, enjoying Caden's discomfort, continued to provoke him.

Caden remained stoic, his attention still focused on the newspaper, not responding.

"People die every day.

"I don't have time for this," Caden dismissed.

“What if something happened to him? Would you intervene?” Gerry asked, smiling knowingly.

“No,” Caden replied quickly and without emotion.

He had even managed to visit the Joy Mansion during his hectic schedule.
