Chapter: 690

However, Shelia was not a significant threat.

Several hours later, Alicia and Caden were contacted by the police.

Shelia hadn't caused serious harm, so she was merely fined and detained.

The police recommended a private settlement, suggesting Shelia apologize.

But upon seeing them, Shelia began to spew curses.

Knowing better than to provoke Caden, she targeted Alicia with her harshest words.

She maliciously dredged up Alicia's past with Joshua, claiming Alicia had once been Joshua's wife and had an affair with his brother.

She accused Alicia of being romantically involved with both men at the same time and called her a slut.

Shelia continued to slander Alicia relentlessly.

Her vile words stung as painfully as the acid.

Caden, standing by Alicia with a stony expression, reached his limit after a few moments and grabbed a nearby chair.

Alicia realized what Caden was about to do and quickly pressed down on his wrist.

She whispered urgently, “Caden, we're at the police station!"

At that moment, several officers moved in to restrain him.

His chest rose and fell dramatically, but he resisted their touch and slowly calmed himself down, bit by bit.

He positioned the chair behind Alicia and said coldly to the officers, “Relax. I'm not going to break any laws."

Then he turned to Alicia and commanded, "Sit."

Alicia felt uneasy about his behavior.

Having released her anger, Shelia finally ceased her cursing.

She fixed a piercing gaze on Caden and sneered, “Just wait. Your downfall is coming."

Shelia was audacious because she came prepared.

She produced a psychiatric diagnosis report and threw it onto the table.

Moreover, she was sharp, always staying just within the bounds of the law. She managed to provoke Alicia and Caden without committing any offense that would lead to her arrest.

Eventually, they all left the police station.

Shelia taunted Caden with a smirk, saying, "You think you're so tough? Then why didn't you kill me back there? Is it because you can't, or are you as soft-hearted as your mother?"

Caden's eyes darkened deeply when she brought up his mother.

Alicia instinctively looked at him.

She then glanced back towards the police station door, noticing that no one else had emerged. After that, she scanned the surroundings.

Shelia's excitement grew as she spoke.

She said, "Caden, I know you despise me. You hate me for destroying your family and for being the cause of your mother's death. If you have the courage, then go ahead, kill me, and avenge your mother. But you won't, will you? You have your business to consider; you can't just go around killing. You're just like your mother, who overlooked me to win Jerald back. And what did she gain in the end? She died at the hands of her beloved! Caden, this is your karma. Your mother deserved her fate, and you, a bastard, deserve to be an orphan!"
