Chapter: 193

Alicia looked at his phone, and she asked with growing unease, "What really happened between Joshua and Randolph?"

Noticing that she had taken the bait, Caden began to act smug again.

"Ms. Bennett, that's not how you ask for a favor. Haven't you ever tried sweet-talking a man before?"

Alicia bit back her frustration. "If I were good at sweet-talking men, do you think Joshua would've left me?"

ALL of a sudden, Caden chuckled.

"Fair point."

To keep her interested, he said, “When Joshua was building his business, he needed serious financial backing, so he had to work closely with the banks. A lot of his dealings were handled through Randolph."

Alicia asked, “Did Randolph take his cut and cover things up for him?"

"Yes."

Her heart sank, confirming what she had feared.

Randolph had indeed been involved in underhanded deals.

Getting close to him and Rachel had been the right move.

She leaned in closer to Caden and asked, "Can the deleted transaction records be recovered?"

He gave her a knowing smirk.

Alicia's heart skipped a beat under his gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I wasn't sure why you were trying to get near Randolph. But now I get it," said Caden.

Alicia was speechless yet again.

“Damn! He tricked me into showing my true intentions," she thought.

Her face tightened. "You said you could help me. That means you know something, right?"

“I did consider that, but at first, I thought you were just interested in Randolph."

Alicia instinctively responded, "Why would I settle for less? I've been with better men."

Caden remained composed and almost humble. “I appreciate the compliment."

Once again, Alicia found herself speechless.

She blushed, turned away, and thought that she should really stop talking.

Afterwards, Caden sent something to her email.

Alicia quickly checked her inbox. "What's this?"

"I sent you some info on Randolph."

Her eyes Lit up. "You're giving this to me just like that?"

Caden spoke with a pointed tone. "What do you think?"
