Chapter: 585
Caden studied Lina closely, a glimmer of intrigue in his expression.
Yolanda encouraged softly, "Give her a try, Caden. I'll step out for a moment."
Caden nodded. "Thank you."
Yolanda smiled warmly, "No worries. It's the least I could do."
After she stepped out, Yolanda leaned against the wall, taking a moment to rest.
The thought of making Caden happy filled her with a profound sense of fulfillment.
Everything she'd Learned from Dorian had helped her achieve exactly what Caden needed.
Alicia could never do that.
One day, when the time was right, she would naturally take Alicia's place-both in his life and by his side.
Meanwhile, Dorian exited the restroom.
Just as he was about to speak, Yolanda pulled him aside.
"Dad, you need to go back now." She didn't want him to interfere with her plans. "Trust me, I've got this handled."
Dorian was an intelligent man, effortlessly discerning Yolanda's unspoken thoughts.
He gently placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself."
Yolanda met his gaze with determination. "I will, Dad," she replied softly, then gave him a reassuring smile as she guided him to leave.
Once in his car, Dorian reclined in his seat, releasing a tired sigh.
Retirement had suited him well, and if not for Yolanda's request, he wouldn't have gotten involved at all.
Hours of busy work had worn him down, and he soon dozed off.
When he eventually opened his eyes, he noticed that the car was parked beneath a towering billboard.
He stared in astonishment as the screen displayed an advertisement for Alicia's gallery, her portrait commanding half of the space. Her delicate features and serene gaze were mesmerizing, yet there was something more profound in her expression.
A strange sensation welled up from deep within his heart.
“So, this is Alicia-the woman Caden has feelings for," Dorian mused.
Both Alicia and Yolanda possessed their own unique charms, each excelling in their respective fields.
Alicia seemed like a perfect match for Caden. Yet, as he studied her face, a sense of recognition tugged at him, gnawing at his thoughts.
Why did she seem so familiar?
Noticing his captivated stare, the driver broke the silence. "Mr. Moss, do you know her?"
Dorian's expression turned serious. "No. Is she well-known in Warrington?"
The driver hesitated, unsure.
Recently, Alicia had gained popularity, frequently appearing in headlines alongside Caden.
The story of the Bennett family was widely known, and the driver had heard snippets about it. "She's an orphan. After graduating from college, she married into the Yates family, but that marriage didn't last long-they divorced several months ago," he explained.
