The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 96

Chapter 96:

Joshua was shocked.

Lilliana too. Instinctively he reached out to touch his face, showing remorse.

Despite his strong character, he understood the meaning of pride for a man and regretted his impulsive action.

It had not been more than a momentary lapse.

Joshua's face darkened and he removed her hand. He struggled to contain his anger and managed to say: If you don't listen to me, okay. I'm exhausted. Tonight I will sleep in the living room.

Lilliana, still angry, turned around, not willing to talk.

If you leave now, don't bother coming back! she declared. Joshua left despite her warning.

When the door slammed shut, Lilliana bit her lip in frustration.

Furious, she threw a pillow at the door and screamed: Joshua, go to hell!

He burst into tears. When his tears subsided, he began to reflect on recent events and realized that things didn't add up.

Since his divorce from Alicia, Joshua had become less attentive and passionate.

Since his divorce from Alicia, Joshua had become less attentive and passionate.

p>

He was tired of her or there was someone else

His suspicions grew.

The time had come to investigate Joshua further.

The days flew by.

Alicia kept the evidence provided by Caden in a safe place.

The records he had, detailing the transactions, were insufficient to seriously damage Joshua's reputation. She had given him the money willingly at the time. Even if the information became public, some might call him a freeloader, but that hardly mattered.

Given Joshua's influence, he could easily silence any detractors.

Alicia remembered something Caden said. had mentioned once.

He had spoken of major disputes during Joshua's dealings with Randolph, which led to there being no contact between them for almost half a year.

What were those about? disagreements

Given Randolph's influential position, it had to have been an important matter.

Unraveling this mystery could be a turning point in his plans.

< p>Rachel would be the ideal ally for this company. With renewed determination, Alicia was more determined than ever to accept the Gray family's invitation.

Concerned for her safety, she thought about Caden again. Although he was known for his cunning and playful pranks, he had a unique gift for making her feel protected in serious situations.

However, this time he didn't seem willing to help. Reluctant to ask him again, Alicia decided to get some self-defense items.

At Blizzard Group headquarters, Caden was attending a meeting.

During the first hour, Hank realized He noticed Caden looking at his phone repeatedly.

After an introduction, Hank leaned toward him and asked in a low voice, Mr. Ward, did you miss something urgent?

Caden, maintaining a firm demeanor, responded simply,

His mind was waiting for a message from Alicia, although it was not an urgent matter.

The visit to the Gray family was scheduled for the next day, and Caden I was sure Alicia would attend. She wondered why he hadn't heard from her lately.

She wasn't worried anymore

As the meeting drew to a close, Caden still hadn't heard from Alicia.

He stood up to leave.

Hank, keeping up with him, asked: Do you have plans for tonight, Mr. Ward?

Why do you ask, Caden replied.

Hank suggested: There's a social event tonight that might

Caden nodded and then paused briefly, remembering past events.

Didn't Randolph extend several invitations to me after the last banquet, he asked, reflecting on the connection.

Hank confirmed: Yes, you had already declined those invitations.

Let him know I'll be visiting his house tomorrow, Caden declared.

Hank was surprised. Randolph Seriously, Mr. Ward Considering your status.

After a pause, Caden commented: You think it's quite a sacrifice too, right.

Absolutely. Visiting his house would be seen as a great honor for him.

Then have Alicia come too, Caden suggested.

Hank was surprised once again. Why bring Miss Bennett into this, he asked.

What does Alicia have to do with this?

Caden didn't answer and went into his office.

I need to see her in half an hour, he declared.

Hank immediately felt the urgency. Half an hour And if Mrs. Bennett is busy It's not easy to invite her.

Make it twenty minutes, Caden cut him off.

Hank was speechless.

Understanding the seriousness, he wasted no time and called Alicia directly. Luckily, he was available.

She picked up the phone. Hello, how can I help you

Hank knew that a direct approach could make Alicia refuse. Not even threats would convince her.

So she tried a different tactic. Mrs. Bennett, Mr. Ward has chosen a strip dance and would like you to see it. You are interested
