Chapter 345:

Ciara remarked, “Caden always moves with such precision and caution.

It’s rare to see him slip up.” Except for that one time when he lost control and attacked Joshua.

When Caden first returned, Joshua’s arrogance had been unbearable, but Caden chose to endure it.

Caden could not let that go.
