Chapter: 74

This shocking announcement hit the news, and the netizens who had been targeting Lilliana would soon redirect their attention.

They would begin to dig into Joshua's past, searching for any trace of his relationship history, ultimately revealing that he had been married and divorced.

So much hidden information would come to light.

In essence, Lilliana's scandal would fade into the background.

Joshua had taken the brunt of the online backlash for her.

Caden's gaze shifted to the screen.

He let out a light scoff.

“What a truly touching love story," he remarked.

Alicia found herself staring at the screen, almost entranced by the unfolding events.

The display soon changed to a video.

It featured Joshua's heartfelt confession.

He crafted a story about how he and Lilliana met and fell in love.

Then Joshua revealed a dazzling diamond ring and gently placed it on Lilliana's finger.

The camera zoomed in, capturing the moment with clarity.

Alicia's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and her breathing turned shaky.

Caden turned to look at her, his indifferent gaze taking in the fragile expressions on her face.

Alicia lowered her eyes, trying to mask her feelings. “It's just a proposal. What's so touching about it? Honestly, it feels a bit cliche. That diamond ring looks like a rip-off. It's super expensive but not really worth it."

Caden's expression remained devoid of any emotion.

He casually responded, “That brand of diamond ring is priceless."

Alicia's eyes reddened further as she laughed bitterly. "I guessed correctly. Joshua has lost a fortune."

Caden sneered at her words.

“It's mot really a loss, though. At least when he married you, he didn't spend a single penny."

Alicia fell silent at his remark.

“Oh, wait, he did spend a Little," Caden added slowly. “He bought you a silver ring for a few bucks."

Well...

The room grew eerily quiet, intensifying Alicia's heartache as she processed everything happening around her.

Alicia poured herself a glass of wine, trying to appear relaxed as she asked, "Would you like a drink?"

Caden stayed silent, showing no interest in her offer.

Alicia didn't anticipate his response and lifted the glass to her lips.

She knew she was slightly allergic to alcohol and usually got drunk quickly, which was why she rarely indulged.
