The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 98

Chapter 98:

Alicia evaded Caden's probing question with a distraction. I will kiss many more in the future.

Caden's question was pointed. You, too, prepare yourself with breath spray before kissing Joshua.

At a loss for words, Alicia felt that continuing the conversation might expose too much.

Determining to move from passivity to Action, he bit her lip and initiated a kiss.

Caden inhaled sharply in reaction. My wound is still fresh, and now this.

You talk too much, Alicia complained, annoyed by his continuous chattering during the kiss.

Why couldn't she shut up

< p>The kisses were to be simple, without unnecessary chatter.

When the kiss ended, Caden released her, and the immediate heat between them dissipated.

With a lingering sensation in his lips, Alicia declared: My safety tomorrow is your responsibility. Monitor my location and intervene immediately if anything seems strange.

Caden, raising his head nonchalantly, replied: I must act as your bodyguard just for a kiss. That's like expecting a free ride for a simple handshake. hands.

Alicia preferred to ignore his comment.

After all, it had been he who had summoned her. He figured the more desperate you seemed, the more you stood to lose.

When she left, Caden still felt the residual taste of her kiss on his lips, hard to ignore even if he pretended otherwise.

< p>Later, when Hank came in with the updates and noticed the marks on Caden's lips, he stopped abruptly.

Mr. Ward, what happened to your lips.

Unconsciously touching his lips, Caden saw a faint red stain and quickly wiped it away with a tissue. It's nothing.

He brushed it off.

Hank looked at him with a knowing expression.

It seems that things are progressing well between you and the lady. Bennett.

Instantly, Caden's mood turned icy. You're gathering information for Ciara again.

Hank quickly clarified: After your warning, I haven't spoken to anyone else. I am simply impressed by your willingness to set aside your prejudices for your own well-being; It's pretty weird.

Caden took a deep breath, reflecting on his journey, from being a precocious child who began school at the age of two, to becoming the CEO of Blizzard Group.

p>Over the years, he faced countless challenges, but none as intricate as managing his interactions with Alicia.

He often considered deepening their relationship, but always held back, unsure. of his ability to maintain composure in such circumstances.

Hank, remembering that they had pending business matters, began a conversation. Mr. Ward, I notice that you have been examining the transactions in Mr. Yates's account. Has plans to take action

Caden replied nonchalantly: Alicia has expressed interest in those transactions.

Hank, perplexed, asked: She also has Mr. Yates in her sights.< /p>

Yes, Caden confirmed. Alicia's long relationship with Joshua makes her much more than just a pawn, he added, underscoring her strategic importance.

Hank's concern was evident as he continued digging. Mr. Ward, you are using Miss Bennett in this endeavor.

Caden paused and then responded noncommittally, Not exactly, which suggested a more intricate involvement than Hank had assumed.

Hank decided to keep the matter private due to Alicia's formidable personality, which could lead to direct confrontations,

I will keep this confidential to avoid any direct confrontation on her part, he advised.< /p>

Caden felt a a pang of apprehension as he remembered the unpredictable outbursts he had witnessed from Alicia over the years.

Trying to steer the conversation away from sensitive topics, he changed the subject. What time should we go to the hotel for dinner?

Meanwhile, Lilliana, dressed in a loose outfit and sunglasses to hide her identity, approached the reception of Joshua's company.

The receptionist did not recognize her at first and greeted her politely. Hello. You have an appointment

Lilliana took off her sunglasses and asked dryly: I look so ordinary.

Once recognized as the future Mrs. Yates, the receptionist bowed quickly and apologized: I'm sorry, Miss Green. They were the sunglasses...

As she leaned over, Lilliana noticed the receptionist's outfit and her attitude became icy.

This is how she dresses for work. This reflects the culture of the company.

Confused, the receptionist looked down at her standard business suit, taken aback by Lilliana's disapproval.

Lilliana, losing interest in further arguing, put her back on.

Stunned, the receptionist followed Lilliana, pleading: Miss Green…

At the same time, Joshua, who had just finished his work, entered the chaos unfolding downstairs.

His secretary quickly informed him. Mr. Yates, Miss Green has arbitrarily fired about ten employees.

Joshua's expression hardened as he walked to his office.

Inside, Lilliana sat in her chair, brimming with authority.

The secretary fell silent instantly under Lilliana's formidable gaze and began to back away.

Why are you leaving Come in, Lilliana insisted. The secretary hesitated, looking uncertainly at Joshua for signs.

Perplexed by Lilliana's actions, Joshua motioned for the secretary to leave.

Lilliana, slamming the door. at the desk, he loudly demanded: You haven't heard me Go ahead.
