Chapter 205:

Caden's new relationship was the latest rumor in town. Although he and Alicia had kept their relationship discreet, it had become an open secret among their social circle. Now, with Alicia appearing vulnerable, those who had previously had problems with her were quick to seize the opportunity, eager for gossip.

Mrs. Reyes was particularly eager to get involved. After enduring the humiliation at the Gray family event, Ms. Reyes was noticeably tense. Accusations from around the world had only increased his shame. With Alicia now in a vulnerable position, Mrs. Reyes did not hesitate to run into the school and cause trouble.

Instead of confronting Alicia directly, Mrs. Reyes went to the principal's office. At a prestigious private school, maintaining a good reputation was essential.

After much thought, the principal decided to speak with Alicia.

Miss Bennett, Gerry has spoken very highly of me. you. With his contacts, I think he will easily get another position. She has been exceptional these past few months and, as an apology, we are willing to offer her a generous compensation package.

Alicia was standing in front of the principal's desk, prepared for this moment since her breakup with Caden. The director's seriousness was an unexpected relief. He nodded his head.

To avoid any disturbance in the school, I will resign voluntarily.

The principal was startled. She doesn't feel mistreated.

Not at all, Alicia smiled, her eyes shining. I thank you for your recognition. Regardless of everything, I hope we can remain friends. Maybe we could have dinner tonight.

The director was not prepared for such a friendly reaction. His favorable opinion of Alicia, combined with his sense of guilt, made it difficult to decline her invitation. She even began to think of a suitable gift for her.

After their conversation, Alicia did not stay.

Alicia said goodbye to her students, making sure there was no confusion, and Then she left school.

At the door, Mrs. Reyes was talking with several parents. Although his comments were not overtly harsh, they were loaded with sarcasm towards Alicia. The parents, familiar with Mrs. Reyes' intention, quickly realized it and rejected it with laughter.

When Alicia left with her belongings, the gathered crowd, now aware of her presence, She could no longer maintain her performance and quickly dispersed.

Mrs. Reyes, holding Ted's hand, seemed pleased with herself. Well, Mrs. Bennett, you're not lucky. Now you can stop working for crumbs. Actually, I need a maid. Are you interested

Alicia stopped abruptly, her eyes meeting Ted's for a fleeting moment. Ted, still haunted by their last encounter, trembled under her gaze and cowered behind Mrs. Reyes.

Mrs. Reyes, upset, pulled Ted forward, insisting that he not show fear.

Alicia smiled and said: I remember that Ted is not enrolled in any classes here. What brings you two to school

Unwilling to admit that she was there to make fun of Alicia, Mrs. Reyes quickly made up an excuse. I'm here to sign you up for some classes.

Alicia responded with a calm smile: You've come at the right time. I have recently obtained the title of swimming instructor. I could give him private lessons.

He knelt down, looking at Ted with a warm expression. You'd like to have some fun in the water, darling.

The mention of water triggered a memory of a past traumatic experience in Ted, and he immediately started crying out loud. Mrs. Reyes, surprised by his intense fear, rushed to comfort him. Ted clung tightly to her, his sobs growing louder.

Alicia, watching silently, suddenly pointed at Ted's butt. Mrs. Reyes said, feigning surprise. Ted peed himself!

Then he flagged down a security guard. I'm sorry, but it seems like someone has had a little mishap here.

Ms. Reyes's face turned red with embarrassment.

Mrs. Reyes turned red with embarrassment as she hurried to cover Ted, telling Alicia: Shut up! Alicia stepped aside to give the security guard space. Humiliated, Mrs. Reyes checked Ted for signs of moisture but found none.

Stunned by the realization that she had been tricked, she turned to face Alicia, only to discover that Alicia had already slipped away.

After Alicia resigned, the school quickly notified Gerry. He had just finished a meal at the Joy Mansion and immediately headed to see Caden.

Caden, there is something I need to discuss with you... As he opened the door, he was surprised by the presence of a woman and stopped talking. speak abruptly.

In the room, Caden was relaxing on the couch, absorbed in a financial newspaper, while Yolanda, dressed in a loose sweater, was at his side, offering him fruit. Although their interaction was not overtly affectionate, Yolanda's gaze toward Caden was unmistakably suggestive, especially since they were alone, creating a subtly intimate atmosphere.

Gerry cleared his throat. Sorry, it seems I've arrived at an inopportune time.

Caden looked up, his expression impassive, and declined Yolanda's offer of fruit. You don't bother anything. Come in.

Noticing Caden's polite refusal, Yolanda's expression softened slightly. He put the fruit tray on the floor and said in a friendly tone: It seems that you have matters to discuss. I'm going to go spend some time with Ciara.

Okay, Caden responded.

Once Yolanda left, Gerry approached Caden.

What about Yolanda She returned days ago, and yet nothing has progressed. You haven't even talked about the rumors circulating on the Internet. You're kidding her.

Caden, in his usual neutral tone, replied: What did you want to talk about?

Gerry raised an eyebrow. It's about Alice. That piques your interest.
