Chapter: 192
Her response didn't seem to convince anyone. Gerry sighed with a hint of pity. “Alicia, don't be like Mrs. Gray. Love-struck fools never end well."
Once more, Alicia found herself speechless.
She then shot a sharp look at Caden.
His words cut through her, leaving her increasingly frustrated.
After dropping Gerry off at his place, Hank asked, "Ms. Bennett, where would you like me to take you?"
Alicia checked the time and found that it was still early.
She had used the excuse of going to a beauty salon earlier, and the Yates family wouldn't bother tracking her down.
So, she realized she had plenty of time to spare.
Eager to learn the secret Caden held, Alicia said, "You can drop Mr. Ward off first. Don't worry about me right now."
Hank glanced at the rearview mirror.
Caden was sitting still, completely composed.
However, something about his expression suggested he was oddly satisfied.
“Mr. Ward, where should I take you?" Hank asked.
Caden shifted slightly in his seat. “Take me back to the apartment.”
Hank understood what it meant and started driving.
Alicia checked the navigation, and saw that it was a twenty-minute trip.
After a brief pause, she asked, “At the party, you mentioned that others couldn't help me but you could. What did you mean by that?"
Caden responded with indifference, "I didn't mean anything by it.”
Alicia had no words to say to that.
His smug expression drained any interest she had in continuing the conversation, so she shifted her focus to the passing scenery outside the window.
The silence in the car stretched on for a while.
Eventually, Caden broke it. "What's wrong? Have you lost your voice?"
Alicia turned to face him. "Why?"
Caden leaned back. "Don't you have any more questions?"
She replied with a hint of sarcasm, “What's the point in asking? You already said you didn't mean anything by it."
"And you actually believed that?"
"Yep."
"You must be incredibly naive."
Why was he insulting her again?
Did he think throwing insults would somehow extend his life?
