Chapter 340:
Shelia was audacious because she came prepared.
She pulled out a psychiatric diagnosis report and threw it onto the table.
She was sharp, always staying just within the bounds of the law.
She had managed to provoke both 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 when she mentioned his mother.
Alicia instinctively looked at him.
She then glanced back toward the police station door, noticing that no one else had emerged.
After a moment, she scanned the surroundings.
Shelia’s excitement grew as she continued, her voice dripping with venom.
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 people.
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!”
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.Original from .
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.
Finally, Caden loosened his grip.
Shelia collapsed to the ground, and Alicia theatrically shook her a bit before pulling her toward their car.
When Shelia regained consciousness, 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.”
