Chapter: 316

Right now, he still didn't have the answer.

Throughout the week, he employed various tactics to corner Randolph, culminating in a crucial meeting scheduled for the afternoon. This was the final push in his strategy.

Randolph had a choice. He could speak up, or the consequences would be dire.

“We'll find out tonight," Caden stated. Afterwards, he asked, “Anyway, what's for dinner tonight?"

Alicia had taken charge of cooking during their time together in the apartment.

It seemed that he had grown accustomed to sharing meals with her.

Alicia felt cheerful once more. "What do you feel like eating?"

He gazed into her sparkling eyes, captivated by their brightness.

Her rosy complexion gave her an aura of purity and innocence.

"It's entirely up to you. I'm not picky," he replied.

Alicia then suggested a few dishes.

Then an idea struck her, and she decided to cancel the dish that included both beef and celery.

Caden inquired, "Is that dish not to your taste?"

Without thinking, she replied, "It's you who doesn't like it."

His heart softened slightly at her words.

His expression eased into a smile as he continued, “Once the evidence is revealed, Joshua will definitely face consequences. Are you sure you won't regret this decision?"

Alicia paused to contemplate before nodding. “Just a little."

Caden raised an eyebrow and asked, “Regret what?"

“Not partnering with you sooner," she replied.

He remained silent.

Alicia's curiosity was piqued. "Given how efficient you are, why didn't you take action earlier?"

"He's not my target," Caden answered.

Randolph and Rachel had already reached the hotel's private room.

A week had gone by, and they now appeared deflated, their former glory long gone.

Alicia's injury at their home marked the beginning of their troubles.

The bank encountered significant challenges.

Initially minor issues spiraled into overwhelming problems that they could no longer manage. They had already relocated, but their finances remained inadequate.

Rachel wept endlessly. Her eyes were so puffy that they were almost unrecognizable. "Randolph, who is behind this?"

Randolph was livid.

“Joshua did this," he said. His gaze intensified with every word he uttered. “He knows nearly everything I did back then. After the incident, I uncovered that he had taken the executives out for meals. It was clear he was the one who turned me in."
