PopularNovelChapter 796: Indeed, he had known. Yet considering all of Dorian's wrongdoings, he did not believe Dorian deserved to be Alicia's father, so Caden had kept the secret. But now that Dorian had discovered the truth and made a spectacle in front of Alicia, his motives were surely not simple.

A short distance away, Regina and Dorian were caught in a fierce dispute, shrouded in shadows. Regina, infuriated, yelled, "You killed Alicia's child and still dare to claim her as your daughter? Are you not just inflicting deeper emotional wounds on her? Dorian, if what you did caused her to disown me, I will never forgive you!" Dorian took the slap without resistance. Deep down, he believed he deserved far worse. He had wronged Alicia profoundly, aligning himself with Corey's schemes and deliberately complicating her life. Now, the chance to mend his relationship with his daughter was gone, lost beneath the weight of his guilt.
As remorse consumed him, Dorian noticed a tall figure standing in the doorway. His breath hitched as Caden stepped forward, each step deliberate and heavy. The air in the room grew oppressive under the weight of his grim expression, and the cold fury in his eyes was something Dorian had never encountered before.
Regina, startled by Caden's sudden arrival, stammered, "Caden..." Caden's gaze never wavered from Dorian. His voice was icy and measured as he asked, "Did you have anything to do with that car accident?" Dorian met his gaze, his shoulders slumping under the burden of his sins. With nothing left to lose, he replied weakly, "Yes." The admission ignited Caden's rage. He surged forward, grabbing Dorian by the collar and slamming him against the wall. The impact sent a dull thud reverberating through the room, and Dorian groaned in pain, tears spilling freely down his face.
Caden's voice trembled with fury as he said, "You hit Alicia and then bribed witnesses to shift the blame!" The realization hit Caden like a storm. He had sought vengeance against the culprit but had believed justice was already served when the supposed perpetrator was convicted and imprisoned. Unbeknownst to him, the true enemy had been standing before him all along, hidden in plain sight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis anger boiled over, veins bulging on his forehead as an almost uncontrollable urge surged within him—to end Dorian's life right then and there. But a voice of restraint pulled him back. He couldn't do it. No matter how vile Dorian's actions, this man was still Alicia's...
Even though Dorian and Alicia hadn't reconciled, they were still bound by blood. Caden knew that acting on impulse could lead to consequences he couldn't afford. Besides, the tragedy of the child's death had occurred before the accident.
Caden admitted to himself that the true fault lay in his own inability to protect Alicia. He inhaled deeply, struggling to suppress the overwhelming anger surging within him, and finally released Dorian from his grip. Dorian crumpled to the floor, sliding down the wall in defeat. Tears streamed down his face as he stared blankly ahead. Caden's chest rose and fell rapidly as he fought against the helplessness consuming him. Taking another deep breath, he said, "Dorian, your fate won't be much different from mine."
