Chapter: 691

As she screamed those final words, Caden reached his breaking point.

He surged forward and grabbed her by the throat.

Shelia's face blanched with fear, yet she remained defiant.

Caden's face was stern, his grip unyielding. Within seconds, Shelia's complexion turned a deep shade of purple as she started to panic.

Alicia moved closer and pressed down on Caden's wrist.

“Caden, let go," she said, her tone soft yet firm. “Remember, there are cameras watching!"

Caden seemed to ignore her warning.

The presence of cameras was irrelevant to him.

Alicia, aware of his intense anger, suggested cautiously, "Caden, step a bit to the right. The cameras don't cover that spot."

While speaking, she worked to loosen his hold.

Shelia needed to face consequences, but not at the cost of Caden's future.

Caden finally loosened his grip.

Shelia collapsed to the ground, and Alicia theatrically shook her a bit before pulling her toward their car.

When Shelia came to, she began to resist.

Alicia quickly subdued her, realizing her intent. “You did this deliberately. You were hoping Caden would kill you, and he'd end up in prison, weren't you?"

Shelia looked at Alicia with hatred.

"This is none of your business. Back off!"

Alicia scoffed, "I will stay out of it, and Caden isn't as foolish as you think."

Shelia's eyes were red with fury. "Caden, you pussy! Kill me!"

Caden remained standing, his body tense, fighting to control himself.

His eyes, cast downward, swirled with conflicting emotions.

Shelia, desperate, crawled to him and grabbed his pant leg.

"Kill me, Caden! Just kill me!"

Caden pressed his foot down on her hand.

Accustomed to comfort, Shelia found the sharp pain unbearable despite her loud protests.

Her cries ceased under the pain.

Caden applied more pressure with his foot and said in a chilling, ominous tone, "You won't die. You'll keep living. You'll endure such misery that you'll wish for death."

After seeing Alicia off, Caden headed back to his company.

He removed his shirt, revealing a bright red burn on his arm where the skin was nearly worn away.

The pain was sharp, and he shut his eyes momentarily to bear it.
