The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 141

Chapter 141:

Caden confirmed in a low voice: If you really need help, you could ask him to intervene on your behalf.

Joshua felt a tightness in the chest. He was right. Alicia had already approached Caden.

Understanding Caden's character, Joshua knew that he would not help Alicia without expecting something in return.

Hiding his irritation, Joshua scoffed: No. I need no one to intervene for me, and it's too early for you to feel victorious. The result is not yet decided.

It was just money. The Green family will take care of it, he added, without wanting to acknowledge the loss.

He had not run out of options.

With a mocking smile, he asked: Do you really think that spending 300 million dollars on a woman is justified.

Caden responded coldly: It's a significant loss. Throwing away $300 million would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

However, Alicia had broken her promise. She didn't cook as promised and spent the night at the Yates mansion with Joshua. His ungratefulness stung.

Caden continued: Don't worry. If your business is having problems, I can provide you with all the help you need. You just have to give me the sign.

Joshua scoffed: Keep dreaming. You don't control Warrington, Caden.

Caden narrowed his eyes. Oh, I forgot. You've already traded your freedom for being part of the Green family. Why would you need my help

Joshua was speechless and ended the call frustrated.

Caden remained impassive. He put down the phone and continued eating diligently, although Hank watched him from the side.

Despite trying each dish, Caden seemed disinterested and was about to stop eating.

Hank He quickly intervened. Mr. Ward, please have a little more.

Caden showed no enthusiasm. It lacks flavor. I'm not hungry.

Hank argued, If you start losing weight, Mrs. Ward will worry and will never stop bringing it up.

Caden's expression soured. He reluctantly took another bite.

Hank tried to lift Caden's spirits on the ride back to the company by bringing up topics that normally piqued his interest. Caden remained silent.

Hank, feeling bold, leaned out of the window and ventured: Hey... Miss Bennett.

Caden raised his eyebrows and looked up. Outside, there were only cars.

Alicia was nowhere to be found.

Realizing the deception, Caden's expression cooled. You're risking your job

Hank, with a knowing look, responded: Mr. Ward, you're worried about Miss Bennett.

It seemed that finding Alicia was key to restoring normal behavior. from Caden.

Hank understood what he had to do next.

Realizing that humor was useless, he concentrated on driving. Unexpectedly, stopping at a red light, Hank saw Alicia crossing the street with Monica. They were immersed in conversation, laughing together. Hank turned to Caden excitedly. Mr. Ward, Miss Bennett!

Caden, still skeptical, didn't even look up this time.

Undeterred, Hank shouted out the window: Miss Bennett!

Caden remained silent, his gaze barely raised. She only caught a glimpse of Alicia's back, who soon disappeared into the crowd.

The street was too crowded for her to hear Hank's calls.

When the traffic light turned green , Hank resumed walking. Sigh. I shouldn't have lied to you before.

Caden considered Hank naive.

His brow furrowed. What does it matter if he sees me?

Hank remained silent. After driving a little further, he stopped the car.

Leaning slightly, he said: Mrs. Bennett and her companion have just entered a pharmacy. You think she's hurt or sick.

Caden remembered her lively presence earlier that day. He is capable. I doubt a skirmish with ten will stop her.

I still think it's worth checking out. You disagree, Mr. Ward Hank looked at Caden, waiting for an answer.

Caden kept his expression stoic. If you're that concerned, you should check it out for yourself.

That was my plan, Mr. Ward, Hank replied.

Caden remained silent, offering nothing more. Hank then headed inside the pharmacy.

Inside, Alicia was selecting a medicine for bruises. Hank, ever the tactician, accidentally bumped into her and asked nonchalantly: Mrs. Bennett, have you hurt yourself?

Alicia politely replied: I've sprained my ankle. But it's nothing serious.

Hank insisted: It hurts a lot.

Monica, who recognized Hank as Caden's assistant from previous encounters, noticed the kinder behavior he showed, which contrasted with Caden's usual coldness. She began to speak more freely, impressed by his kindness. Alice was lucky. It could have been worse for someone else.

Hank, feeling uncomfortable, probed further: What exactly happened.

Monica responded in frustration: That scoundrel Joshua locked her in a room and didn't she had no choice but to escape through the window.

Alicia quickly covered Monica's mouth, her voice a low warning. Not here, Monica.

Hank opened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect Joshua to be involved in the incident the day before. It could be related to Caden's anger

Monica was silent and Alicia turned to Hank. You're here to buy something.

Hank, regaining his composure, nodded. Yes, I need to buy some digestive pills for Mr. Ward. He went too far this afternoon.

The mention of Caden's name visibly upset Alicia.

He asked for it, she commented sharply.

Hank was left speechless. words, unsure of how to continue the conversation.
