Chapter: 232
It was merely a momentary lapse.
Joshua's face darkened as he pushed her hand aside.
He struggled to contain his anger and managed to say, “If you won't listen, fine. I'm exhausted. I'll sleep in the living room tonight."
Lilliana, still upset, turned away, not ready to speak.
“If you leave now, don't bother returning!" she declared.
Joshua left despite her warning.
As the door slammed shut, Lilliana bit her lip in frustration.
In anger, she threw a pillow at the door, yelling, "Joshua, go to het!"
She broke down, tears streaming down her face.
After her tears subsided, she began to reflect on recent events, noticing that things didn't add up.
Since his divorce from Alicia, Joshua had become less attentive and passionate.
Was he weary of her, or was there someone else?
Her suspicions grew.
It was time to investigate Joshua more thoroughly.
Days flew by quickly.
Alicia secured the evidence provided by Caden in a safe location.
The records she possessed, detailing transactions, were insufficient to seriously damage Joshua's reputation.
She had given the money to him willingly at the time.
Even if the information went public, some might label him a freeloader, but that hardly mattered.
Given Joshua's influence, he could easily silence any detractors.
A memory struck Alicia of something Caden had once mentioned.
He had spoken of significant disputes during Joshua's dealings with Randolph, leading to no contact between them for almost half a year.
What were those disagreements about?
Considering Randolph's influential position, it had to have been a major issue.
Unraveling this mystery could be a turning point in her plans.
Rachel would be the ideal ally for this undertaking.
With renewed resolve, Alicia was more determined than ever to accept the Gray family's invitation.
Concerned about her safety, she thought of Caden again.
While he was known for his cunning and playful teasing, he had a unique knack for making her feel protected in serious situations.
However, he didn't seem eager to help this time.
