Hank continued to rummage through the bag. “You bought seven boxes? Are you planning to consthem like

candy?” Caden's expression darkened.

Taking a deep breath, he pointed to the cupboard beside him. “Put them there and close it.”

Hank's concern was palpable. “Ciara was clear about not taking random medications. Can you tellhow long

you've been taking them? How many have you taken? How are you feeling now?”

Before Caden could respond, a thought struck Hank. “Wait, is this why you were watching those videos in the car

earlier? Did you get carried away and lose control?”

Caden's response was cold. "If | couldn't control myself, you'd be the first to know."

Hank was silent, imagining the scenario, and quickly recomposed himself. He carefully put the medication away

in the private locker.

Caden then sent a message to Alice: “Who taught you to say thank you like that?”

Alice replied: "Isn't that necessary?"

This left Caden both amused and frustrated.

Shortly after, Alice asked, “Did | fall short?” She added, “They're pretty expensive: $180 each. You only

bandaged my arm. Isn't that enough?”

Caden scoffed. “Thanks for givingover a thousand.”

"It was actually $900. There was a promotion: buy five and get two free," Alicia clarified.

Caden put the phone aside and decided not to answer. Answering would only increase his frustration.

Noticing Caden massaging his temples, Hank thought he might have caused him sdiscomfort. Respecting

their relationship, he felt obliged to apologize. “I'm sorry, Mr. Ward, | crossed the line earlier.”

Then he opened the cupboard, took out a box and a pill.

Caden frowned, looking at Hank. “What are you doing?”

“You can take this medicine if you want, but make sure you take it after meals so it doesn't upset your stomach,”

Hank replied.

Caden was speechless, wondering what kind of person he had employed.

Caden nonchalantly took a sip of his coffee and asked, “Is Jerald awake?”

Hank replied, “Yes, and he has to go back to the Yates mansion for dinner tonight.”

“Go start the car,” Caden ordered.

Hank, puzzled, asked, “It's still early to eat. Why cback so early to confront that family and make yourself

uncomfortable?”

“Dealing with you just givesmore of a headache,” Caden replied, tossing the pill into the trash.

Hank noticed that Caden had been acting strangely ever since he returned to the country. Caden, once known

for his emotional stability, now seemed to be always on edge.

Determined to keep the peace, Hank talked less and tried to keep Caden in a good mood.

It was rush hour and there was a lot of traffic.

Caden casually looked through spaperwork. Jerald had been sick for years, moving from one hospital to

another without finding a cure. His condition had deteriorated to the point where the Yates family had given up

hope of recovery, simply waiting for the inevitable.

Upon his return, Caden had taken care of Jerald and soon noticed abnormalities in his condition. Further tests

revealed traces of a slow-acting poison in Jerald's bloodstream, a substance that was gradually weakening his

heart, administered in small, unnoticed doses over time, beginning the previous year.

It was a covert and silent murder.

Caden smiled with satisfaction. “This drug is illegal here and can only be obtained through private transactions.

Tell them to speed up the investigation. “I need to know who is responsible as soon as possible.”

Hank agreed.

The traffic was still heavy and it was clear that it would take a while to clear. Hank turned off the engine and

expressed his confusion to Caden. “Mr. Ward, | don't understand. You despise your father so much. If you get

over it, you get over it. You could just gather evidence and confront Joshua later. Why go through all this effort

now?”

“I need Jerald alive for now,” Caden stated calmly.

Hank was shocked by this revelation.

Understanding the deep secrets Caden was harboring, Hank refrained from digging any further.

Caden looked out the window, taking in the pleasant weather, but his expression remained cold. The warmth of

the sun did nothing to thaw his icy demeanor.

As the car crept forward, Caden was about to amuse his attention when he noticed a familiar figure emerging

from a bookstore.

She wasn't known for being ostentatious, nor did she shy away from attention. However, today's outfit was

unlike anything Caden had ever seen her in before.

This aroused inappropriate thoughts in him, darkening his expression.

Hank noticed Alicia too and hesitated before suggesting, "Mr. Ward, should we offer Miss Bennett a ride?"

Caden looked away and firmly declined, “No.”
