Chapter: 439
How could Caden have managed such an extensive investigation in so little time?
Joshua was perplexed and unable to consider the situation further.
He asked with a livid expression, "What exactly do you want?"
Caden casually crossed his legs and responded, "I'm your elder brother, here to assist. However, 3 billion dollars is a significant sum. Your sincerity needs confirmation."
It dawned on Joshua then.
Caden had orchestrated this as an insult.
And his target was to humiliate him in front of Alicia!
Unable to retaliate or escape, Joshua felt trapped.
Caden possessed overwhelming evidence against him.
Outmatched and unprepared, Joshua faced him.
Caden, with a smirk, prodded. “Can't swallow your pride? Why not ask the Yates or the Green family for help?"
He struck a nerve.
Joshua had once believed they would help, but they vanished when he needed them most.
Rooted to the spot, fury in his eyes yet immobilized, Joshua stood helplessly.
He felt reduced to nothing more than a jest.
Impatient, Caden declared, "It's getting late. I'll call the police to deal with you."
This was the ultimatum from Caden.
Joshua's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles cracked. Straining, he rasped, “Caden, what do you want from me?"
Caden's sneer widened. "Need to borrow money?"
Joshua's teeth ground together nearly to the point of breaking.
He was cornered with only two dreadful choices.
Either endure Caden's insults or face incarceration.
In reality, he had no choice.
The bitter taste of blood filled his mouth as he forced out the word, "Yes,"
Caden's smile turned icy. “Alicia has the funds. If you need money, ask her."
Alicia raised her eyes.
She expected discomfort at seeing Joshua like this, yet she felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had been manipulative and relentless, pursuing her even after their divorce.
At last, he was facing the consequences.
"Three billion dollars is not a trivial amount, Mr. Yates. Now that you've dared to ask for it, can you actually repay it?" Alicia asked with an icy tone.
