?Chapter 255:


    He was aware that for Dorian toe in person, something serious must have motivated the visit.


    Dorian''s gaze briefly shifted to the door.


    "Is Alice in there?"


    As Caden poured her a cup of tea, he said, “It is.”


    Dorian picked up the cup and sipped the tea.


    It was still hot, but it tasted bitter.


    When Dorian spoke again, his voice barely concealed the anger beneath.


    “Why haven’t you made your rtionship public?”


    Caden calmly replied, “It’s not the right time.”


    "Were you already watching her when you asked me for help?"


    "That''s how it is."


    Dorian mmed the cup against the table with all his might.


    “If that’s so, why did you agree to Yndaing to Warrington?”


    Caden looked at the broken pieces of the mug on the floor.


    Dorian was the first person to smash a mug in his office.

    Still, Caden epted the outburst.


    Dorian had every right to be angry.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    The situation was his fault.


    Back then, he never expected his rtionship with Alicia to evolve.


    It was a miscalction on his part.


    “Mr.


    Moss, you can punish me any way you see fit.


    I won’t object,” Caden said.


    His voice sharpened.


    “But when ites to matters of the heart, I won’tpromise.


    I don’t love Ynda, and I won’t let her waste her life with me.”


    Dorian scoffed.


    “You’re not afraid of offending me, are you, Caden?”


    With a calm smile, Caden replied, “I am well aware that it is not ideal to offend you, but I will not force myself to do anything that goes against my feelings.”


    Dorian gave him a stern look.


    Their exchange seemed like an intense standoff, with neither of them willing to back down, and mutual destruction seeming the inevitable oue.


    After a heavy silence, Caden dialed the internal line to call the janitor to clean up the mess.


    “Out of respect for Mrs.


    Ward, I’ll let it slide for now,” Dorian said, darkening his tone.


    “But if Ynda isn’t cured by the end of the year, you’ll learn what I’m truly capable of.”


    The rtionship between the two families was deeper than appearances.


    Dorian had always held power and prestige, but today he had to suppress his frustration when facing Caden.


    As he turned to leave, Caden stood up, ready to walk him to the door.


    “Don’t bother.


    I can find my own way out.


    Seeing you only makes me angrier,” Dorian said without looking back.
