The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 78

Chapter 78:

Caden smiled when he noticed that Alicia really believed him. You can continue looking for it when you get home. There's no rush.

It took Alice a moment to realize that she had been tricked. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Caden looked somewhere nearby. You still have time to argue with me, he said flatly. Mrs. Gray is about to walk out the door. You haven't just defended her. You're not going to take advantage of this opportunity to take credit.

Alicia turned toward the door. His gaze fell on Randolph and Rachel, who were walking out together and looking very intimate.

Moments ago, Rachel had seemed completely pitiful, but now she was radiating joy at a simple gesture from Randolph. Alicia's expression instantly turned cold.

Trying to take credit now would be a disaster, don't you think, she commented.

Randolph must have been delighted with her.

At that moment, Rachel was lost in her happiness and certainly wouldn't listen to Alicia's advice.

Caden smiled and said, You realize it quickly. Alicia felt a little constricted.

After all the bullying Rachel had endured, a single touch from Randolph had made her feel overwhelmingly happy. Alice laughed at herself. Before the divorce, Joshua occasionally tried to cheer her up out of guilt. In those days, he felt a real sense of happiness. She seemed just as stupid to those who knew the reality

After taking a deep breath, she looked around for the temporary actors. He grabs a bag of ice and heads towards them. The group of young people gathered around a table near the back door looked up as Alicia approached. The man in blue was the first to get up.

How have we been, he asked.

Alicia responded with a smile. Very good. Your performance has been better than I expected. He quickly assessed the face of the woman in white. It still had a reddish hue.

Use this ice pack to relieve the pain, he said as he handed it to her.

The woman smiled shyly. It's no big deal. It was hard, but it didn't hurt me.

Seeing the anxious and sincere expressions of the young workers, Alicia couldn't help but smile back at them. Initially, she had promised them $10,000 each, but her satisfaction led her to add another $5,000 to each. Thus, the four received $15,000. She transferred the funds directly to them.

They burst with joy, hug her and kiss her in gratitude.

You are doing charity work. You are incredible. Alicia chuckled.

My mother used to do charity work, she said proudly. Honestly, I'm much stingier than her.

The woman in white, who had a great love for money, hugged Alicia tightly and planted another kiss on her cheek. The woman in pink joined in too.

When the man leaned in to kiss her, Alicia raised her hand to stop him. Let's not get carried away. He smiled sheepishly. I'm sorry. I'm very happy.

Alicia had other things to take care of, so she made a gesture with her hand. I have to go now.

Across the street, Rachel was standing in the jewelry store, watching the scene unfolding outside through the glass, taking in everything that had just happened. He looked at the group of young people who were jumping with excitement.

What are you looking at, Randolph shouted. Come here and choose something. I'll buy you whatever you want.

Rachel took his hand and pointed to the group of young people outside. Randolph, look at that.

Although he felt annoyed, he was intrigued by what it was, so he took a closer look.

They're not the same ones that caused trouble before.

p>

Yes, Rachel answered. Why are they suddenly wearing party uniforms?

They quickly realized that the commotion from before had been organized by someone. Randolph's expression darkened as he realized he had been mocked.

Who organized this, he growled. He was the host of the party

I think it was Alicia, Rachel answered. He remembered how he had seen Alicia transferring money to them earlier.

Randolph didn't expect it to be Alicia.

What do you have against me, he asked with a grim expression.

Rachel turned around. She felt just as confused. He had always had a good opinion of Alicia. However, what happened today seemed excessive.

Randolph's anger subsided as he quickly regained his composure. She is Joshua's ex-wife. You think he has some hidden agenda.

Rachel responded: She's very close to him. What motive could he have?

You can never be sure what someone is thinking, Randolph replied with a disdainful snort, clearly not in the mood to press the issue. Alicia is not as naive as she seems. I'll have to ask Joshua about her. And you, be careful with her from now on.

Rachel naturally agreed with him. He nodded and said, Understood.

Randolph patted his hand and smiled. Come on, let's choose a few more jewels. You've had a hard day.

As Alicia returned to the party to gather her belongings, she ran into Randolph and Rachel. Randolph maintained his polite expression.

Miss Bennett, it seems that you have come alone. Why don't you come with me. I'll take you.

Alicia noticed the forced smile on his face and immediately felt cautious. He responded politely: Thank you, Mr. Gray, but I have already arranged for a car.

Randolph was not about to let him pass so easily. I needed answers about today's situation.

Cancel your trip. What's the problem, Miss Bennett? I offer to take you myself, and you refuse.
