The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 892:

Caden was momentarily taken aback.

After settling into the car, Caden asked, “How did you figure out I was only pretending with Lucilla?”

Alicia buckled her seatbelt. “If she truly valued ethics and cared about not damaging relationships, she wouldn’t offer herself in exchange for financial help.” The inconsistency in her character was glaring.
