Chapter: 556

A bitter feeling washed over her.

“caden, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the call ended.

Holding the now silent phone, Yolanda was overwhelmed by a surge of bitterness.

She vividly remembered how desperate Caden had been when he knew Alicia was in danger.

She was aware that he had been with Alicia all this time.

Wasn't she jealous? Wasn't she hurt? Of course, she was.

But there were bigger issues to deal with.

She had made mistakes by answering Alicia's call with Caden's phone without permission and lying about it.

She needed to correct these wrongs first.

Just then, Dorian called her.

Yolanda looked at the screen but didn't feel like talking, so she hung up.

Dorian then sent a text: "Have you spoken to Caden?"

Yolanda responded with a simple “Yes.”

Dorian, sitting in the living room, put his phone down and sighed, “I don't understand her thoughts. She keeps lowering her standards for a man."

For years, Yolanda had been cherished by her family. She was their darling.

She always got whatever she desired.

Yet, her infatuation with Caden seemed to have enchanted her, causing her to lose her sense of self.

Yolanda's mother, Regina Moss, heard his words and smiled. "Isn't it you who spoiled her? You urge her to be sensible, yet behind the scenes, you lower yourself to develop an alliance with the Ward family. She knows you adore her, which is why she acts so willfully."

Dorian's lips tightened, his face taking on a serious look.

He knew Regina was right, but Yolanda was his only child, and he loved her deeply.

What else could he do but make her wishes come true?

Regina went to fetch a bottle of headache pills and was about to open it when Dorian intercepted it. “Regina, let me do that."

Regina looked down. "Dorian, Yolanda is an adult now, and she has her own plans. We shouldn't control her. Let's not interfere in her personal matters anymore."

Dorian's face was unreadable. "If I don't help her, she's going to go through a lot of pain by Caden's side."

"We've seen Caden grow up. We know his character," Regina argued. "If he cares for Yolanda, that's wonderful. If not, we can't force him."

Dorian's headache intensified.

He frowned deeply, filling the room with tension.

"What if I choose to be unfair?"

Regina looked at him dispassionately.
