ReadGoodChapter 184: ????? Monica instinctively looked down at her feet. Realizing she was unintentionally leading, she quickly backed away, not wanting to kiss the stranger in the room. However, this meant Alicia would be next.
Unable to watch her friend potentially suffer, Monica stepped forward again.
Alice noticed her action and looked a little puzzled. "Let's run," Alice suggested.
"It makes sense," Monica agreed.
As they prepared to flee, Hank stepped outside to investigate the noise. Surprised to find Alicia and Monica outside, he whispered, "Mrs. Bennett, what a surprise! Mr. Ward lost a gand now owes a passerby a kiss. Could you help us?" His voice was low, making sure the noise of the private room muffled his words. Alice, with a subtle movement of her mouth, made a sign for silence. "Go on. You didn't see us," she insisted, making light of the frivolity.
Monica remained silent this time, her curiosity piqued by the scene unfolding.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her brief moment of hesitation, Caden appeared. Alicia's gaze instinctively met his.
Clearly intoxicated, his face was flushed and his eyes unfocused. He approached her, handed her a wad of cash with precision, and suddenly kissed her.
Surprised, Alicia was slow to react. When she tried to resist, Caden's kiss deepened.
Heart racing, she reached out to strike him, but Caden was faster. He grabbed her hand, pinning her down, and pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and securing her neck.
Hank watched, stunned by the scene. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Monica, equally stunned, stepped back and began recording what happened on her phone.
In an internal conflict, Monica thought she should intervene and confront Caden for taking advantage of Alicia. However, her body froze, unable to act.
Caden was undeniably skilled at kissing, making the whole experience undeniably exciting.
Once the kiss ended, Caden gently caressed Alicia's lips, clearly wanting more. He chuckled lightly. “Thanks for humoring me. And sorry for the inconvenience." Alice stood there stunned, her lips tingling and her head spinning, unable to find her voice.
Caden cback in, nonchalantly suggesting, "Let's keep drinking." Alicia, still in a state of shock, stared at the significant amount of money she held in her hand.
"Thanks for humoring me? "Sorry for the inconvenience?" She wondered if he would even recognize her.
Gerry had assumed Caden would cback out, so he hadn't looked. Noticing Caden's noticeably red lips, he exclaimed in surprise, "You actually kissed someone? Who?" Feeling encouraged, Caden poured himself another drink. "Did you miss it?" Gerry slapped his forehead in frustration. "Fuck! I missed it! Who was it? Tell me!" Caden laughed. "You always miss the best parts," he joked.
Gerry gaped, curious to know more. But since Caden remained silent, no one else dared to ask.
Gerry decided to leave to investigate further. However, he quickly returned, visibly shaking.

Just then, a stern-looking man walked in. He looked like Gerry, but they seemed much more formidable. Caden greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Hopkins." Gerry's brother, Cliff Hopkins, approached with a stern look, demanding: "Mr. Ward, where's Gerry?" Caden kicked the table sharply, instantly revealing Gerry's hiding place.
"Right there," he declared.
Gerry's jaw dropped. He hadn't anticipated Caden's betrayal. After pausing to gather his thoughts, he reluctantly left. His appearance did little to soften Cliff's approach, however.
Normally bold and fearless, Gerry was unusually intimidated by Cliff, who had just returned from military service.
Straightening up, Gerry replied, "I was just having a drink. What's that to you?" Cliff's voice, deep and authoritative, boomed. "Will you leave voluntarily, or do I have to force you out?" Gerry tried to maintain his dignity. "I'm almost done here. "I know when it's tto go." Without hesitation, Cliff grabbed him by the ear and pulled him.
"Hey! That hurts!" Gerry hesitated, pleading as he was dragged away. "Cliff, it hurts! Stop it, Cliff!"
Meanwhile, the secret surrounding Alicia's situation with Caden hadm becimpossible to keep. She finally revealed everything to Monica. Monica was surprised.
"I've considered many scenarios, even suspected Gerry once, but never Caden. Is he treating you well?" Alicia just agreed. "He is an excellent collaborator."
"Just a business partner?" Monica pressed, remembering the recent o.m look of shyness and joy on Alicia's face-emotions she'd never witnessed on her before. "You don't have any feelings for him?"
