The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 30

Chapter 30:

Gerry could smell fresh gossip in the air. Are you together, he asked directly.

Before Alicia could answer, Caden snatched the phone from her hand and replied to Gerry: I'll bring her in a little while.

Gerry abandoned his playful tone. Today's incident has caused quite a stir. Alicia's face has been exposed on camera. Be careful and make sure he isn't a target for Lilliana's obsessive fans.

Understood, Caden replied, hanging up and handing the phone back to Alicia.

She stood still, staring at him. , without moving.

Caden, who had gone to open the door, stopped when he noticed her reluctance. He wrinkled his eyebrows. What's happening

Gerry warned me to be careful with Lilliana's admirers, Alicia said, her voice strained. You are Lilliana's boss. I shouldn't be more careful with you.

She was already on guard against him. How come you're suddenly here You've come to silence me

Caden blinked, remaining silent for a few seconds before responding in a cold tone: That's right. I'm going to take you to a remote place, do whatever I want with you, kill you and get rid of your body.

Alicia took a sharp breath. Clicking her tongue, she decided to stop arguing with him.

They had to leave immediately. If Lilliana's fans showed up, they would be in serious trouble.

A celebrity outfit was no joke. They were trained professionals, serious about their business. Lilliana had fled the scene, completely unharmed.

By then, few people remained.

Caden hurriedly guided Alicia toward the underground parking lot.

Alicia thought. that they were safe, but their relief was premature. When the elevator doors opened, they saw a small crowd of seedy-looking individuals a few feet away.

The group turned toward the sound of the elevator, and when they saw Caden and Alicia, one of They shouted: It's her!

Alicia froze. He hadn't expected trouble to find them so quickly. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself.

The man leading the group lunged at her, his expression fierce. Bitch! How dare you plot against Lilliana.

Alicia grabbed Caden's hand, pulling him back. Get behind me!

Caden looked at her for a couple of seconds, then took off his jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves. This is the perfect time for a man to step forward and prove his worth.

But just as he was about to act, Alicia raised her leg and delivered a solid kick to the charging man. about her. He screamed in pain, clutching his chest as he stumbled backwards.

Caden was speechless, his mouth forming a small O. He slowly lowered his sleeves to his wrists.

But one Once the first man fell, the others pounced on him. Several rushed towards Alicia in unison. It was Caden's turn to push her back, delivering a swift spinning kick to the first man who approached. The difference in strength between him and the attackers was evident.

Alicia had used all the strength she was capable of, but only managed to knock her opponent to the ground.

Caden, however, He threw his attacker into the air, knocking down some of his companions in the process.

If you want to hurt a man, Caden said calmly, aim for the spots where it hurts the most. Kick him in the groin, in the head, in the shins.

Alicia's eyes shone. Understood.

When another man lunged at her, Alicia stepped forward and kicked him in the groin.

She immediately fell to the ground, clutching her groin and moaning in pain. .

It was a resounding blow, Caden had to admit. But… she felt a certain tightness in her lower abdomen when she saw the man protect himself.

Alicia turned towards him, smiling. How was that? I learn quickly, don't I.

At that moment, the only thing Caden could think about was how beautiful her eyes were.

He felt an inexplicable urge to laugh. Well done.

The attackers were few, and within a few minutes, Caden and Alicia had dispatched them.

When they finally retreated, the men limped or trembled, maintaining a respectable distance. and they no longer dared approach Caden and Alicia.

Caden dusted off his hands and walked Alicia to her car. She fastened her seat belt and craned her neck to look in the side mirror. Lilliana's crazed fans were still milling about, not knowing what to do next.

The men were still clattering and making phone calls, casting sharp glances toward Caden's car. Alicia's expression turned grim. They don't seem like fans of Lilliana, he noted. They look more like people hired to deliberately cause trouble.

Caden glanced at the men in the rearview mirror. Perfect, then, he said coldly. Consider it free practice for fools like you.

Alicia glared at him, narrowing her eyes in disapproval.

An insufferable man.

She took out her phone and dialed 911.

What are you doing, Caden asked.

I'm calling the police.

Regardless of whether those men were really fans of Lilliana or No, Alice. He trusted that the authorities would take care of it properly. Lilliana was still involved in the lip-syncing scandal, and this little altercation could serve as a warning.

You don't mess with the law.

Those thugs are all beat up, Caden said. Who do you think the police will arrest when they see the state of those men?

Alicia's brow furrowed even more. But we can't let this go.

What more do you want, he replied. One of them is already unconscious. You've probably left him impotent for life.

Alicia calmed down a little. I didn't kick him that hard.

His actions may have been premeditated, Caden said slowly, but we fought back. At the very least, the police are likely to consider it a public brawl.

And even if it were considered self-defense, they wouldn't get away with it. At best, they would be fined. At worst, they would be arrested.

In any case, they would lose.

Alicia thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. He locked the screen and put the phone away. Reflecting on Caden's actions earlier, a strange feeling bubbled in his chest. She turned in her seat to look at him.

They had just left the parking lot and passed under the shadow of a large tree.

The sunlight came in through the window, bathing the features well. Caden's definitions with a warm glow. The sun shone in his deep eyes, making them appear attractive, as if they were swimming pools that would attract an innocent spectator to drown in their depths.

Alicia continued looking at his face, stunned.

Suddenly, Caden turned to look at her.

You really like me, huh.

Alicia's lips twitched, but she quickly averted her eyes, focusing on the scenery outside. He kept looking around as if he were looking for something.

Caden stopped in front of a restaurant and turned off the engine.

What are you looking for, he asked.

The tone of Alicia was curt. I am looking for your dignity, since it seems that you have lost it somewhere.
