Alice gripped the doorknob tightly as she turned to glare at him, her expression fierce. “Who are you to put an
end to this? “I haven't broken any rules!”
“So why are you leaving?” Caden asked, his voice level. “The contract specifies that you cannot refuse certain
requests.”
"But it also requires consent," Alice countered.
“You owefor what you skipped last night,” he declared. “If you're going to go back on your promise, then
don't expect the sthing fromthat | got from Randolph yesterday.” His fingers tightened around the
doorknob even more, almost creaking under the pressure.
Now it was clear to her: Caden was threatening her.
What was the reason for this sudden change?
“Is this breakfast so important to you?” he asked, his patience wearing thin. “Or are you bothered by my visit to
the Yates mansion yesterday?”
His face remained a mask of indifference. “Exactly. “You shouldn't have gone to the Yates mansion.”
“Why not? The agreement doesn’t require your permission forto meet up with others or stay out, right?”
"You are free to stay with whoever you want, except Joshua," she stated coldly.
Alice opened her mouth to respond, but he cut her off. “Remember our purpose here. “I am horrified by your
actions.”
Alice choked on her words.
What was the point of explaining it to her? Would he even consider his version? He had already branded her

His resolve wavered. He began to seriously consider breaking the agreement. With one last look, he opened the
door and walked out.
The door closed behind her, the sound echoing through the room, a sharp reminder that Caden had been struck
down by his defiance.
He stood there, enduring the cold coming from the hallway, rooted to the spot. His face slowly darkened.
Despite her lack of skills, Alicia's temper was fierce, and thinking about it only made her headache worse. Taking
a deep breath, she turned around and headed for the shower. As dawn broke, she felt the weight of the situation
pressing down on her.
Georgia noticed Alicia was missing and, fearing intervention from Joshua or the authorities, decided to go out
alone to look for her.
As soon as she left, someone covered her mouth and nose with their hand from behind and dragged her to a
dark corner.
A burly man stood before her, his hand firm. “Stay still. | haven't cto hurt you or rob you. “I just want to ask
you something.”
Georgia, who was older and easily scared, was shaking uncontrollably.
The man punched her in the face, and she immediately fell silent, her body recoiling in shock. Her mouth filled
with blood and sof her teeth loosened. She sank to the ground, clutching her head as her hands shook.
"Who was here last night?" the man asked.
Georgia's mind churned as she carefully considered his words. The man's impatience was palpable. “Speak!” |
have barked.
Hesitantly, Georgia muttered, “I don't know...”
“You work for the family and you have no idea?” | have challenged her, his tone sharp and threatening. “Be
honest!”
Without warning, he struck her again, knocking out a tooth. Her eyes filled with tears and agony twisted inside
her. “A lady of prominent family and Alice...” she gasped in pain.
The man quickly pulled out his phone. “Ma’am, can you hear me?” he asked, holding the phone to her ear.
Lilliana's voice was heard clearly: "What exactly was Alice doing there?"
The man repeated the question to Georgia, who, trying to remain coherent, managed to tell the story. However,
she preferred not to implicate her employer, placing all the blon Alicia.
Lilliana's anger momentarily turned to laughter. Her suspicions were confirmed. "Let her go," she ordered coldly.
"Keep a close eye on Alicia from now on and keepinformed."
Meanwhile, Alice, after leaving the
apartment, sought refuge in ahotel.
