The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 205: ????? Caden's new relationship was the latest buzz in town. Although he and Alicia had kept their relationship low-key, it had becan open secret among their social circle. Now, with Alicia appearing vulnerable, those who had had issues with her before were quick to jump at the opportunity, eager for gossip.

Mrs. Reyes was particularly eager to get involved. After enduring the humiliation at the Gray family event, Mrs. Reyes was noticeably tense. Accusations from around the world had only increased her embarrassment. With Alicia now in a vulnerable position, Mrs. Reyes didn't hesitate to run into the school and stir up trouble.

Instead of confronting Alicia directly, Mrs. Reyes went to the principal's office. At a prestigious private school, maintaining a good reputation was essential.

After much thought, the director decided to talk to Alicia.

"Miss Bennett, Gerry has spoken very highly of you. With your contacts, I believe you will easily secure another position. "You have been exceptional these past few months and, as an apology, we are prepared to offer you a generous compensation package." Alicia stood in front of the principal's desk, prepared for this moment ever since her breakup with Caden. The principal's seriousness was an unexpected relief. She agreed.

"To avoid any disruption to the school, I will voluntarily resign." The director was startled. "Don't you feel mistreated?" "Not at all," Alice smiled, her eyes shining. "I appreciate your recognition. Regardless, I hope we can remain friends. Perhaps we could have dinner tonight?" The headmaster was not prepared for such a friendly reaction. His favorable opinion of Alice, combined with his feeling of guilt, made it difficult to decline her invitation. He even began to think of a suitable gift for her.

After their conversation, Alice did not stay.

Alice said goodbye to her students, making sure there was no confusion, and then left the school.

At the door, Mrs. Reyes was chatting with several parents. Although her comments were not overtly harsh, they were loaded with sarcasm toward Alicia. The parents, familiar with Mrs. Reyes' pretensions, quickly realized and dismissed her with laughter.

As Alice emerged with her belongings, the gathered crowd, now aware of her presence, could no longer maintain their act and quickly dispersed.

Mrs. Reyes, holding Ted's hand, looked pleased with herself. "Well, Mrs. Bennett, aren't you lucky? You can stop working for peanuts now. Actually, I need a maid. Are you interested?" Alicia stopped abruptly, her eyes meeting Ted's for a fleeting moment. Ted, still haunted by their last encounter, shivered under her gaze and cowered behind Mrs. Reyes.

Mrs. Reyes, annoyed, pulled Ted forward, insisting that he does not show fear.

Alicia smiled and said, “I remember that Ted isn't enrolled in any classes here. What brings you two to school?" Unwilling to admit that she was there to make fun of Alicia, Mrs. Reyes quickly made up an excuse. "I'm here to sign you up for sclasses." Alicia replied with a calm smile: "You have cat just the right time. I have recently obtained my swimming instructor qualification. “I could give you private lessons." She knelt down, looking at Ted with a warm expression. "Would you like to have sfun in the water, darling?" The mention of water triggered a memory of a past traumatic experience in Ted, and he immediately began to cry loudly. Mrs. Reyes, surprised by his intense fear, rushed to comfort him. Ted clung tightly to her, his sobs growing louder.

Alicia, watching silently, suddenly pointed at Ted's bottom. "Mrs. Reyes," she said, feeling surprised. "Ted peed himself!" He then flagged down a security guard. "I'm sorry, but it looks like someone's had a bit of a mishap here." Mrs. Reyes's face flushed with embarrassment.

Mrs. Reyes blushed with embarrassment as she rushed to cover Ted, snapping at Alicia, "Shut up!" Alicia stepped aside to give the security guard space. Humiliated, Mrs. Reyes checked Ted for signs of wetness but found none.

Stunned at the realization that she had been tricked, she turned around to face Alice, only to find that Alice had already slipped away.

After Alicia's resignation, the school quickly notified Gerry. He had just finished a meal at Joy Mansion and immediately headed to see Caden.

"Caden, there's something I need to discuss with you..." As he opened the door, he was surprised by the presence of a woman and stopped talking abruptly.

In the bedroom, Caden was relaxing on the couch, engrossed in a business newspaper, while Yolanda, dressed in a loose sweater, stood beside him, offering him fruit. Although their interaction was not overtly affectionate, Yolanda's gaze toward Caden was unmistakeably suggestive, especially since they were alone, creating a subtly intimate atmosphere.

Gerry cleared his throat. "Sorry, I seem to have arrived at an inopportune time."

Caden looked up, his expression impassive, and declined of fuit Yolanda's offer of fruit. You're not bothering Eat all. Cin."

Noticing Caden's polite refusal, Yolanda's expression softened slightly. She placed the fruit tray oh ive! the floor and said in a gentle tone, "It seems you two have sbusiness to discuss. "I'll go spend stwith Ciara." "Okay," Caden replied.

Once Yolanda left, Gerry approached Caden.

"What's going on with Yolanda? She cback days ago, and yet nothing has progressed you haven't even talked about the rumors circulating on the Internet. Are you kidding her?" Caden, in his usual neutral tone, replied, "What did you want to talk about?" Gerry raised an eyebrow. "It's about Alice. Does that pique your interest?"
