Chapter 604:


    Alicia’s eyes widened in rm.


    “What kind of problem?”


    “He’s been losing money on his films, all financed by his family.


    His father already has issues with him, and now, with this trash of a film, he’s bound to get a good beating.”


    Alicia clutched Caden’s hand tightly, her heart racing.


    “What should we do? I need to see the Hopkins family and apologize.


    I’ll tell them it was all my doing.”


    After saying that, she began changing her clothes.


    Caden set aside his project n and followed her.


    Alicia quickly selected two outfits.


    “You areing with me.”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Caden shook his head.


    “I don’t want to join the chaos.”


    Alicia shot back, “What chaos? I don’t know what the Hopkins family is like.


    What if his father gets so furious he takes a swing at me? You could at least help mediate.”


    Caden imagined the scenario and couldn’t help but smirk.


    “I might reconsider,” he said, his gaze lingering on Alicia’s slender waist.


    “If you sweet-talk me a bit.”


    Alicia rolled her eyes.


    “Fine, then I’ll take Cade with me.


    At least he can protect me.”


    Caden was taken aback by her words, the surprise etched on his face.


    When Alicia called Gerry, he was already a bundle of nerves.


    Caden was right; he had just received a message from home demanding his immediate return for punishment.


    Clinging to the hope that Alicia would join him, Gerry eximed, “My mom really likes you.


    If youe, my dad might go easy on me because of you.


    Where are you? I’lle pick you up.”


    Alicia replied, “I’m at my apartment.”


    Stubborn as always, Caden didn’t hear what he wanted and resolved not to go.


    He sat by the window, soaking up the sun while working.


    Meanwhile, Alicia took the border collie and left.


    Suddenly, Caden caught a glimpse of Gerry stepping out of his shy sports car to chat with Alicia.


    A frown creased his brow; Gerry always had a knack for drawing attention to himself.


    With a frustrated huff, Caden tossed aside what he was holding and followed them downstairs.


    As Gerry was about to drive off, he saw Caden approaching and blinked in surprise.


    “What are you doing here?”
