Chapter 339:
Alicia kept her focus on the road.
“If you’re injured, just say so now so we can address it.
Don’t blame me later.”
Caden’s sneer returned.
“Just admit you’re worried about me.
There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Alicia was left without words.
He could think what he wanted.
She was overthinking things.
Caden became serious.
“Shelia targeted me, not you.
You shouldn’t feel responsible, even if something had happened to me.”
A realization dawned on Alicia.
Caden was the reason Joshua was in jail, and Shelia had been fixated on him.
Alicia had become a target simply because she stepped out of the car first.
Shelia had no other options.
Alicia didn’t feel any relief after this realization.
They remained silent for the rest of the journey.
After Joshua was incarcerated, Lilliana ended up in the hospital with pregnancy complications, and the Green family chose to remain uninvolved.
After Caden’s threats, Jerald was too afraid to go outside.
He misled others, claiming he was gravely ill and needed to recuperate at home.
Shelia found herself completely alone.
In her desperation, Shelia chose a violent method to seek revenge on Caden.
However, she 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 and suggested Shelia apologize.
But when Shelia saw them, she began to spew curses.Belonging to .
Knowing better than to provoke Caden directly, she targeted Alicia with her harshest words.
She maliciously dredged up Alicia’s past with Joshua, claiming that 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.
He 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, slowly calming himself down.
He positioned the chair behind Alicia and said coldly to the officers, “Relax.
I’m not going to break any laws.” He then 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.”
