Chapter 564
Chapter 564:
Casually, he asked Aylin, “Why is there a cup missing?”
Aylin was taken aback, her eyes darting nervously.
“Mr.
Ward…”
Caden sensed that something was off.
“Tell me the truth.”
Aylin, who held a deep respect for Benedict, knew that he had indeed shattered the cup.
She realized it was only a matter of time before Caden found out.
Reluctantly, she decided to come clean.
Caden’s expression immediately turned cold as he exited the Joy Mansion without saying another word.
As long as Caden could remember, although Benedict had a notorious temper, he would never dream of hitting a woman.
Moreover, the animosity between him and Alicia wasn’t as profound as it seemed.
Benedict harbored only a hint of prejudice against her.
But what could have happened that day to ignite such fury in Benedict?
Caden slid into his car and dialed Alicia’s number.
When she answered, her tone was indifferent.
“What’s the matter?”
She spoke as if he had committed some grave offense against her.
Caden’s voice was deep as he asked, “I just found out that my uncle smashed a cup on the floor right in front of you that day.
Were you hurt?”
A heavy silence lingered on the other end of the line.
When she finally broke the silence, it was evident she was hiding something.
“No, he was merely trying to scare me.”
Caden pressed further, “What exactly happened that day?”
Alicia instinctively replied, “Since you already know what he did, why don’t you ask him directly? Aren’t you worried I’ll intentionally stir up trouble between you two?”
Caden inhaled deeply.
“Alicia, please talk to me properly.”
At the sound of his commanding tone, Alicia let out a chuckle.
“Sorry.
I lack the manners to speak nicely.”
Caden insisted, “I want to resolve this, so I need to know the truth.”
Alicia sighed in exasperation.
They were a couple, not business partners.
“Resolve this, sort that out…” That was all he ever seemed to think about.
In bed, he was a whirlwind of passion, but when it came to arguments, he turned cold and distant, devoid of warmth or affection.
Alicia decided to lay it all on the table in one breath.
“I had a heated argument with your uncle because he looked down on me and insisted I step aside so Yolanda could take my place.
I told him he was being completely unreasonable, lacked sincerity, and even basic decency.
He flew into a rage, smashing a cup to express his anger, and declared that as long as he was breathing, I would never have the chance to be your wife.
So, Caden, who was really in the wrong? Was it me? Should I have just bowed down to your uncle and handed you to Yolanda?”noveldrama
Alicia finished her tirade, panting slightly.
