    Mrs. Reyes'' expression changed as she pulled Ted closer. "Mr. Ward, he''s just a kid. He doesn''t understand. Please let him go!"


    Caden''s face remained impassive. “Did I say something?” He smirked. “Why are you so scared?”


    A slight shiver ran through Mrs. Reyes. Although she didn''t know Caden well, their brief interactions that day had already shown her his decisive and ruthless nature. When he found out something had happened to Alicia, he had thrown Ted to the ground without hesitation. If things had gone even slightly wrong, Ted could easily have been seriously injured.


    Caden showed no mercy to the children. His earlier order for them to fight had felt like personal revenge. He mentioned that there would be a reward, but Mrs. Reyes could sense that what wasing was far from good.


    Without wasting any time, Caden looked at Alicia and said, “For the next half hour, Ted is yours. “Do with him whatever you want.”


    Understanding the implication of his words, a wave of tion washed over Alice, momentarily easing away the pain of her wounds. Caden had opened the door for her, and she wasn''t going to let that brat walk away unscathed.


    She immediately called two servants to help her.


    Seeing that her pleas were futile, Mrs. Reyes''s demeanor changed. “What right do you have to treat Ted like that? I made a mistake that any child could make. He doesn''t know any better, and neither do you. “Harming children is against thew.”


    Caden leaned back, appearing unfazed.


    Alice couldn''t help but feel amused. "Isn''t it illegal for him to attempt murder? He may be a minor, but that doesn''t change the fact that he tried to kill me. If we take legal action, both you and your husband will face the consequences."


    Alicia continued, “Do you really want this to go any further? We can get the police involved. I will work with them and share the whole story with the media. Everyone will know how Ted hurt me. “I am sure Mr. Reyes will appreciate you raising such a tough son, and the entire Reyes family will be proud of you.”Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Mrs. Reyes''s legs shook and she nearly copsed to the ground.


    She didn''t want anything bad to happen to Ted, but she also feared the consequences of making a scene. If the Reyes family found out about this, her life would be ruined.


    Her voice shaking, she said, “Mrs. Bet, I''m so sorry. This is all my fault. I didn''t like you, so I told Ted to make things difficult for you. “I didn’t want to hurt you so much.”


    Alice remained impassive.


    She had just faced a terrifying brush with death and had almost lost her life. Did Mrs. Reyes really believe that a simple apology could erase it all?


    “Rest assured, Mrs. Reyes,” Alicia said firmly. “Once Ted enters society, you will find yourself on your knees frequently.”


    Mrs. Reyes realized she was kneeling. She tried to get up, but her legs felt so weak that she sank back down.


    Alice told the servants to bring a basin of water. They put it on the table, which was about waist high.


    Unable to hold on to Ted, he called two servants for help.


    Sensing impending danger, Ted began to squirm and resist.


    The servants held him firmly.


    Mrs. Reyes said sternly, “If you dare to touch Ted, you will regret it!”


    Fear spread through the servants, causing them to loosen their grip.


    Alicia quickly realized that she shouldn''t involve them any further and turned her attention back to Caden. “Can you record Ted for me?”


    Caden replied coldly, “I’m busy.”
