Chapter 302: Tears welled up in Alicias eyes as she bowed her head.

Thats my issue.

What does it have to do with you? He scoffed in response.

Do you think you can handle him? Dorian could shut down your gallery with a single command, making it difficult for you to stay in Warrington.

Are you prepared to take that risk? Alicias gaze grew somber.

She secretly clenched her fists, feeling the weight of the situation.

Watching her breathe heavily, Cadens heart softened.

He drew her into his embrace.

As Alicia squirmed, the pain in her lower body and a dizzy spell hit herprobably from the fury she had been holding inside, which felt like it was setting her brain on fire.

Forced to sit on his lap, she inhaled his scent, and a wave of sorrow washed over her, her eyes becoming teary.

Caden, are you siding with Yolanda? she asked, her voice soft but filled with hurt.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Cadens tone softened significantly.

Calm down.

Ill support you.

Theres no need for an apology.

Ill handle the Moss family.

Alicia chuckled bitterly, her voice strained.

Caden, youre utterly heartless.

Ļ∆ťèśţ ¢♄ΔÞţεЯŠ ¡η Ġałиoνєļş.çø₥ He had the power to persuade the Moss family to drop their demands for her apology, yet he chose to pressure her instead.

She realized that she was just a means for him to satisfy his desires.

He wielded his influence like a tool to force her compliance.

A rueful smile crossed her face.

Cade has been part of our lives for months, yet you show no concern for him.

Am I just another pet to you? How long will your interest in me last? Caden caressed her cheek tenderly.

Youre too headstrong, Alicia.

To win my heart, you need to please me and prove youre worth it.

Alicia brushed his hand aside.

Rising to her feet, she conceded, Ill go and make amends with Yolanda.

Alicia had become a savvy businesswoman.

For her, apologizing was the simplest way to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

She refused to jeopardize her hard work and future over a fleeting impulse.

After grabbing her car keys, she left the apartment without a second thought.

Caden remained silent, his expression thoughtful, as if lost in deep contemplation.

Dorian was taken aback when he saw that Alicia had actually arrived.

His anger had subsided, and he had no intention of harming a defenseless woman.

Yolanda is in the bedroom.

You can go see her, he said, settling into a chair.

Alicia didnt respond and walked right past him.

Dorian, stunned, blinked in disbelief.

How rude! .
