Chapter 295:


    Alicia met her gaze without flinching.


    “Leaving is inevitable,” she replied smoothly.


    Ynda, sensing a shift in Alicia’s demeanor, suspected it had to do with the Averibon incident.


    Amused, she asked, “So, when will you leave?”


    Alicia’s gaze dropped to Cade, her expression hardening.


    “Return the dog to me, and I’ll leave today,” she dered.


    Ynda couldn’t suppress her amusement.


    She approached Alicia, still holding Cade in her arms, and teased, “You really adore your dog, don’t you? Would you perish alongside it?”


    In response, Alicia grabbed Ynda’s wrist, twisting it forcefully.


    Ynda cried out in pain and released her grip, allowing Alicia to secure Cade.


    Without hesitation, Alicia delivered a sharp p across Ynda’s face.


    Ynda, stunned by Alicia’s aggressive reaction, couldn’t believe it.


    On Caden’s territory, was Alicia truly disregarding her own image?


    Alicia freed Cade from the wire around his neck, tended to his wound, and then shot Ynda a chilling look.


    “If he dies, you’ll be the first to go down with him.”

    Taken aback by Alicia’s icy demeanor, Ynda clenched her teeth and touched her cheek.


    “Consider this a warning, Alicia.


    If you keep interfering with me, you’ll regret it.”


    Unmoved, Alicia retorted, “Is that so? Show me what you can do.”


    Seeing that her threats had no effect, Ynda mocked, “Do you even know why I came to Warrington?”


    Alicia ignored her, preparing to leave with Cade.


    Ynda pressed on, “Caden begged my father to allow me here, on the condition that he marries me.” The words stopped Alicia in her tracks, and her heart sank.


    Ynda smirked, adding, “Caden may still have eyes for you, but he’ll tire of you.


    Eventually, he will marry me.


    You’d be wise to cut your losses now.


    Find yourself a wealthy husband while you can, instead of wasting away as Caden’s ything.


    Otherwise, you’ll end up with nothing.”


    Alicia rushed Cade to the veterinary hospital, where he was treated just in time.


    Thankfully, her quick actions saved his life.


    As she gazed at Cade’s severe wound, Alicia pressed her lips together tightly, grief and frustration swelling within her.


    Sheforted him by his side until he was stable.


    Only then did she return to Caden’s apartment.


    Sheter visited the security office to retrieve the day’s surveince footage.


    Ynda had been careful.


    None of the cameras had captured her face.


    Alicia took the footage to herpany and asked a skilled technician to enhance the images.


    Once the footage was secured, she returned to her office, exhausted, and slumped into her chair.


    As dusk settled, she gazed out the window, her reflection mirroring her drained and vacant expression.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
