Chapter 297:


    Dorian, enraged, eximed, “Ynda is my cherished daughter.


    How can you be so indifferent? If you were in her ce, would you remain soposed?”


    This struck a chord in Caden.


    He remembered being pped by Alicia on more than one asion.


    Gathering his thoughts, he asked, “How did Ynda end up hurt?”


    Dorian scoffed.


    “You already know, don’t you? Who but Alicia could be responsible?”


    “Alicia must have had her reasons,” Caden responded.


    Dorian perceived Caden’s response as supportive of Alicia.


    Though he didn’t want to escte tensions, he couldn’t let it go.


    “Regardless of her reasons, it was wrong for Alicia to be physical,” Dorian asserted.


    He loomed over Caden.


    “Caden, Alicia acts so boldly because she has your backing.


    I support Ynda, and I’ll make sure Alicia understands the consequences of her impulsiveness.”


    Anger red in Caden’s eyes.


    “Mr.


    Moss, overreacting won’t serve you well.”

    Dorian’s sneer lingered.


    “Rest assured, I won’t resort to violence against a woman.”


    After Dorian departed, several bodyguards emerged and obstructed Caden’s way.


    Despite their imposing presence, they posed no challenge for him.


    Then, Regina appeared.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    He waved off the bodyguards and ushered Caden into the living room with graciousness.


    Caden held deep respect for his elders, especially Regina.


    Though not widely known, he recognized Regina as the pir of the Moss family.


    She was renowned for her wisdom, perception, humility, and calm demeanor—qualities that allowed her to moderate Dorian’s more vtile nature.


    Regina served tea and reassured him softly, “Don’t worry.


    Alicia will be alright.”


    Caden remained stoic.


    “Regina, harm isn’t only physical,” he said, his voice steady.


    Knowing Dorian’s character, Caden doubted that negotiations with Alicia would be simple.


    Regina smiled gently.


    “Caden, it seems you care deeply for Alicia.”


    Caden responded vaguely, “Our rtionship isplex.”


    “I haven’t met her, so I can’t judge her character,” Regina continued.


    “But Ynda was the one who confronted Alicia today.


    Their sh probably stems from you.” She paused before adding, her tone neutral, “Ynda is quick-tempered, and though Alicia’s reaction was harsh, I can’t simply overlook it.”


    Her tone chilled slightly as she disclosed, “That p caused Ynda moderate muscle tears and a mild concussion—the most severe injury she’s had in decades.”


    Caden’s brow furrowed in concern.
