Chapter 312:
Dorian was about to say more when Ciara walked in.novelbin
She held the highest standing in the Ward family, belonging to a generation above Dorian.
After a moment of thought, Dorian decided to leave.
Ciara, dignified and poised despite her years, still commanded respect.
“Let the young ones handle their issues, Dorian.
You ought to know better.”
Dorian, clearly in the wrong, couldn’t lift his head.
From the corner, Yolanda watched as the Ward family stood united around Alicia, a mix of anger and fear swirling within her.
She dreaded the consequences, but the thought of Caden targeting her terrified her even more.
Who could guess what he might do?
Clenching her jaw, she resolved to confront Alicia directly.
At the entrance of the hospital room, Yolanda leaned against the doorframe, her lips bloodless, tears brimming in her eyes.
She asked Caden, “If I apologize to Ms.
Bennett, do you think she will forgive me?”
Caden’s smile was insincere.
“If apologies could fix everything, what need would there be for men?”
Hearing this, Yolanda felt a sharp pain in her heart.
How could he so openly defend Alicia? She clenched her teeth.
“But she slapped me.
Should I just ignore that?”
Caden, seated on the couch, gave no indication of his emotions.
“Why don’t you slap Alicia in return?” He looked up sharply at her.
“What about the cut on the dog’s neck? Should I let you experience that as well?”
Yolanda’s complexion grew even paler.
Yet, Caden’s attitude made her even more resistant to backing down.
Why should she be the one to apologize to Alicia? She was the Moss family’s daughter, used to having her way.
Her voice heavy with grief, she told Caden, “If you insist on defending her, so be it.
She suffered frostbite because of me, so today I’ll stay outside until I freeze!” With that, she turned and dashed off.
Dorian noticed her and started to approach, but Ciara held him back.
“Dorian, do you really want things to get worse?”
Caden moved to the window and looked out.
Yolanda had indeed gone outside.
The wind and snow were harsh, and with few people around, her slender figure was clearly visible.
The driver below phoned him.
“Mr.
Ward, is something wrong with Miss Moss? Should I bring her inside?”
Caden responded coldly, “No, just stay there and ensure no one goes near her.”
The driver was confused but obeyed.
Just before ending the call, Caden said, “Try to get her to remove her clothes.”
The driver was startled.
“What?” Alicia furrowed her brow and looked at Caden.
“Caden, what are you trying to achieve?”
