Chapter 778: An associate approached from behind, saying, "The Moss family representatives have made their way to Terriland, Mr. Ward." With a nod, Caden acknowledged the update. Inside the hotel for the entire day, Alicia avoided any contact with the guests. The hotel buzzed with rumors that Caden had gone to Terriland to save Yolanda, prompting Ciara to step in and silence the chatter.

"I'm just biding my tuntil you turn to me. I appreciate true talent and treat women with respect. Choose me, and I promise to outdo Caden by far."
