Chapter: 106

“Obviously, it's how you're handling this situation." Gerry began breaking down the situation. "Lilliana made the first move by spreading lies and framing Alicia. You've got the perfect opening to hit Joshua, yet you're just sitting back. That's not your style."

Aside from Alicia, Gerry had the best insight into the bitter rivalry between Caden and Joshua.

He knew exactly why Caden had returned to the country.

He knew it all too well.

Caden looked at him with disappointment clear in his eyes. "I actually thought you were getting sharper."

Seemingly confused, Gerry said, “Are you drunk, or am I? You're not making any sense."

Caden stopped playing around.

"I'm not targeting Lilliana because she means nothing to Joshua," he stated.

Gerry raised an eyebrow, mockingly placing a hand on Caden's forehead.

“Are you sure you're feeling okay, man?"

Caden swatted his hand away. "Jesus, get away from me."

Gerry pressed further. “Joshua went all out for Lilliana, and now you're saying she doesn't matter?"

A shadow passed through Caden's expression.

“Alicia is a lot more important to Joshua."

Gerry fell silent for a moment before saying, “Joshua nearly pushed Alicia to her breaking point, and you're telling me she's the one who matters?"

Caden responded with indifference, “Just go to sleep and stop talking.”

Gerry heaved a sigh.

As absurd as Caden's words sounded, he had a knack for handling things efficiently.

There was always a reason behind his actions.

"Isn't this the perfect opportunity?" Gerry asked. "If you work with Alicia, you'll get double the results with half the effort."

Keeping his tone casual, Caden replied, "Alicia won't work with me."

"She's vulnerable right now, and with all your persuasion skills, you still can't convince her?"

“That's not persuasion-it's manipulation," Caden said flatly.

Gerry was caught off guard again.

“Come on, you're not exactly a saint. Why are you suddenly acting so chivalrous?"

Caden didn't respond.

Sensing the shift in Caden's mood, Gerry cleared his throat. "Alright, forget I said anything. I know you and Alicia don't get along. There's no way you'd team up with her."

Suddenly, something clicked in Gerry's mind. He began rummaging around the car. “Did I forget the gift Alicia bought me?"

Caden asked, "If you admire talent so much, why don't you help her when she's in trouble?"

When Gerry found the bag, he grinned. “I wanted to, but she probably doesn't need my help. She has plenty of ways to handle the Green family this time."
