Chapter 587
Corey, observing their interaction, moved closer when the repairs were complete. He wanted to avoid further complications.
โAlicia, letโs find somewhere quieter to discuss your compensation,โ he said, gently nudging Yolanda aside.
Alicia chuckled softly. โMiss Moss, didnโt you say the loser fulfills the winnerโs condition? Have you forgotten?โ
Yolanda, enraged, retorted, โJust one condition? Whatโs beyond the Moss familyโs capabilities? Why the urgency?โ
Alicia calmly replied, โThis condition doesnโt involve your family. You can handle it yourself.โ
Yolanda scoffed. They were on Coreyโs property, under Dorianโs watchful eye in Warrington; Alicia wouldnโt risk drastic action, bold as she was. Yolanda assumed Alicia would simply request money.
Yolanda produced her checkbook, thrusting it toward Alicia. โFill it out!โ
The camera zoomed in, capturing a collective gasp from the reporters. The lighting highlighted Yolandaโs beauty, a stark contrast to her less appealing character. Sheโd nearly killed a dog and modified a robot to resemble Cadenโs deceased mother for questionable reasons. Her actions were often vengeful, selfish, and shortsighted, fueled by her fatherโs influence and a fearless disregard for consequences.
Aliciaโs gaze fell upon Benedict and Caden at the edge of the crowd. Even Dorian was present. This reminded her to remain vigilant, though holding back was never part of her plan.
Facing the camera, Alicia looked directly at Yolanda. โAs you said, leave this company on all fours, barking as you go.โ
Silence fell over the crowd, stunned by Aliciaโs words. Every eye was on her.
โHave you lost your mind, Alicia?โ Yolanda shrieked. โDo you know who youโre talking to? You expect me to grovel like a dog?โ
The reporters surged forward, cameras flashing as the scene escalated.
โTurn those cameras off!โ Yolanda screamed, her eyes blazing. She lunged at a reporter, but Coreyโs bodyguards intervened. Enraged, Yolanda slapped a bodyguard, the sound echoing in the tense silence.
Alicia watched the unfolding chaos with detached calm.
