Chapter: 650

Alicia's gaze grew somber.

She secretly clenched her fists.

Watching her breathe heavily, Caden's heart eventually softened.

He drew her into his embrace.

As Alicia squirmed, the pain in her lower body and a dizzy spell hit her-probably from her fury, which seemed to set her brain on fire.

Forced to sit on his lap, she inhaled his scent, and a wave of sorrow washed over her, her eyes becoming teary.

She questioned, “Caden, are you siding with Yolanda?"

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Caden's voice softened significantly.

"Be calm, and I'll support you. No need for apologies. I'll handle the Moss family."

Alicia chuckled bitterly.

"Caden, you're utterly heartless."

He had the means to persuade the Moss family to drop the demand for her apology, yet he chose to pressure her instead.

She was merely a means to satisfy his desires.

Thus, he wielded this as a tool to compel her compliance.

Alicia managed a rueful smile. “Cade has been part of our lives for months, yet you show no concern for him. Am I just another pet to you? How long will your interest in me last?"

Caden caressed her cheek tenderly. "You're too headstrong, Alicia. To win my heart, you need to please me and prove you're worth it."

Alicia brushed his hand aside.

Rising to her feet, she conceded. "I'll go and make amends with Yolanda."

Alicia had become a savvy businesswoman.

For her, apologizing was the simplest way to sidestep unnecessary conflicts. She refused to jeopardize her hard work and future over a fleeting impulse.

After getting her car keys, she left the apartment without a second thought.

Caden remained silent for what felt like an eternity, his expression deep in thought.

Dorian was taken aback when he noticed that Alicia had actually arrived.

His anger had dissipated, and he had no intention of harming a defenseless woman.

"Yolanda is in the bedroom. You can go see her," he said, settling into a chair.

Alicia didn't respond and walked right past him.

Dorian was stunned.

How rude!

As Alicia headed upstairs, Regina finished her chores and stepped out of the room.

As she heard the door open upstairs, Regina glanced up and caught sight of a fleeting shadow.
