The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 221

Chapter 221:

Upon hearing Yolanda's voice, Alicia froze, instinctively turning off the screen. She was completely immobilized.

Since she had discovered Monica's accident, a feeling of unease had lingered within her. Now, despair weighed on his heart, each beat a painful reminder. Caden wouldn't come; She had already bothered him too much...

Joshua's laughter was merciless. He reached out and caressed her pale cheek before speaking to Yolanda. You just woke up from sleeping with Caden.

Yolanda didn't answer right away. Instead, he asked: Who is it?

Joshua continued: Has Caden ever compared you in bed? Has he ever told you who is better, Alicia or you?

The surprise of Yolanda was palpable. Before she could respond, she heard the door open behind her. Panicking, she quickly ended the call and hid the phone under her pillow.

Caden, freshly showered, came out. His hair was still damp and his face was expressionless.

Why are you in my room, he asked, clearly irritated. Upon their arrival at Averibon, they had reserved two suites, with Yolanda's next door.

Yolanda hesitated, but did not admit her true intentions. He lied, saying: I noticed something wasn't right and I wanted to discuss it with you.

Caden tightened his robe, his tone sharp. Whatever it is, it can wait until tomorrow. Go back to your room.

Yolanda bit her lip, reflecting on the disturbing call. He couldn't shake the feeling that the person who had called felt animosity toward Alicia. Something was wrong with him. He didn't want Caden to know, so he decided to delay it.

It's still early. “Let's talk for a while, Caden,” he insisted. If not, I'll spend all night worrying about the project.

Noticing her determination, Caden relented. Okay, I'll book a coffee. We can have our conversation there. Yolanda remained silent, watching as Caden walked towards the bed.

Caden realized that his phone was missing from the nightstand. His expression darkened.

You touched my things.

Yolanda was caught off guard. I hadn't expected her to notice the absence so quickly, and she seemed nervous.

Caden quickly located his phone and checked the screen. There was an unread message.

It was a photo sent from an emergency number, accompanied by a location. The address pointed to an isolated mountain outside Warrington, and the blurry image showed Alicia's legs, stained with dried blood on the ground. His heart clenched in his chest.

Something was terribly wrong.

Having only recently returned to the country, Caden's contacts were limited. He hesitated briefly before sending the address to someone he trusted deeply. Then, he turned off the phone screen.

Looking at Yolanda, he asked coldly: Why did you take my phone?

Fear flashed in Yolanda's eyes.

Trying to maintain composure, he explained: You were busy and I didn't want to miss anything important, so I picked it up. It turned out to be just an annoying call.

Caden's expression was still stern. He had deleted Alicia's number, so any incoming calls would appear unknown. However, since Yolanda had hidden her phone, he was convinced that it was not a trivial call.

It was Alicia's cry for help.

Without saying anything else, he left the room. the room.

Yolanda, pale with anxiety, followed him.

Caden…, called, but he did not stop.

At the door, the bodyguard Caden stepped in his way. On the way.

Caden's silhouette quickly disappeared down the hallway as he contacted someone in the area and arranged a private flight back to Warrington.

Just then, it rang. your phone. It was Cliff.

Mr. Ward, what's going on

Cliff had sent people to the location Caden had sent, but he needed more information.

Caden's tone was noticeably serious. Rescue her immediately. And don't alert them. I'm going back now. Cliff hadn't seen him this restless in a long time.

Understood, Cliff replied.

Caden moved quickly, panting, completely unaware of Alicia's exact situation. Every word he spoke was filled with determination. At all costs.

Cliff was surprised by her intensity. He waited a few seconds before hanging up the call. The Flynn family had been unable to contact Monica and had already alerted the police.

Cliff, who had been following leads related to Monica, scrutinized her recent suspicious interactions and quickly traced them back to Joshua. He deduced the probable motive for the kidnapping, but did not interfere with the police's efforts.

When Gerry heard the news, he rushed to help, with obvious concern. Cliff, with the Flynn family so involved with the police, could this increase the risk for Monica and Alicia.

Cliff remained focused, working on locating Alicia's position on the map. The weak signal from the mountain made exact location difficult. His face was stern as he responded authoritatively: Joshua is aware of the police's involvement, and that will distract him. That gives my team a chance.

Gerry hesitated and then asked: But what if Joshua gets desperate?

Cliff shot him a sharp look. You have a better idea.

Gerry was speechless. Feeling intimidated by Cliff's imposing physique and fierce demeanor, he scratched his nose nervously. I'll stay out of it and let you work.

Cliff, drawing on his military background, was known for his firm and relentless approach. He was certainly intense, but his reliability was unquestionable.

Gerry, still uneasy, asked: Where's Caden.

Back. It should arrive within the hour.

Just then, the map beeped, indicating that Alicia's location had been located. Cliff exhaled deeply, his thoughts a mix of worry and concentration. He asked: Who is she that Caden is so worried about.
