Everyone seemed to await Alicia's decision, as if her word carried exceptional weight. Yvonne scrutinized Alicia
again. Her beauty was undeniable, yet her presence on social media was nearly nonexistent. If she were indeed
from a wealthy family, why remain so inconspicuous?
The only logical conclusion was that she was an ordinary woman, leveraging her looks. For now, she had Caden’s
favor, which drew Ciara's interest.
Dismissing her suspicions, Yvonne shifted the conversation. “Ciara, how have you been feeling lately?”
Ciara harbored no fondness for Yvonne. She had unearthed old scandals orchestrated by Yvonne and the

Yvonne feigned concern. “That's good to hear. With Caden handling business, you must be relieved.” She then
sighed heavily and continued, “My brother works tirelessly for his children’s future. He's so dedicated that he
collapsed last month and hasn't yet recovered.”
Her tone sought sympathy.
Ciara struggled to find words.
Caden, however, cut through the pretense. “Who asked you? Why suddenly share your experiences with us?”
Yvonne was taken aback.
Ciara's smile tightened.

Yvonne was speechless once again.
Outside the car, Yvonne brushed off the confrontation as if it had never occurred and confidently entered Joy
Mansion. For the sake of her future, Yvonne considered a bit of humiliation trivial.
Understanding Caden’s devotion to his family, especially Ciara, Yvonne was determined to make Lucilla
appealing to her. However, Ciara consistently dismissed Lucilla’s attempts. Frustrated by her failure, Lucilla
nearly resigned, but Yvonne's glare held her back.
Then, seeing Ciara laughing with Alicia only intensified Yvonne's frustration. Alicia was playing a clever game,
having slowly won Ciara's favor.
Yvonne clenched her teeth, her anger simmering just below the surface.
After Yvonne left the room with Lucilla, Ciara reassured Alicia, “Don’t worry about them. I've seen through her
schemes for years.”
