Chapter 440:


    After ending the call, Corey set his phone aside and moved to the floor-to-ceiling window of his presidential suite.


    He stood silently, gazing out over the luminous city of Warrington, his eyes half-closed as he absorbed the view.


    The city below was alive, its skyscrapers stretching into the night.


    Warrington was a ce that never truly slept, bursting with energy and possibility.


    A knock at the door broke his reverie.


    “Mr.


    Hampton?” His secretary, Kyler Turner, stood in the doorway, nodding respectfully.


    “We’ve received the results from our investigation.”


    Corey held out his hand for the file.


    Inside, he found postnatal records for two women: one was Regina, who had given birth to Ynda in Warrington; the other was a woman with thest name Bet, who had given birth to a girl named Alicia Bet.


    The report was brief, including only basic information—height, weight, and exact birth times of the babies.


    The specific details he needed were missing.


    “Were the Moss and Bet families close back then?” Corey asked, his brow furrowing.


    He wondered why Regina, originally from Devarlton, had ended up delivering her child in Warrington.


    Kyler nced at his notes.


    “I looked into it, sir.


    Mrs.


    Moss was vacationing in Warrington when she suffered a fall, which led to earlybor.


    Coincidentally, she gave birth on the same day as Mrs.


    Bet.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    The two families hardly interacted at all.”


    Corey narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.


    “Ynda does have the look of a premature baby,” he murmured, closing the file.


    “But… what a pity.”


    A pity? He didn’t borate, and Kyler raised a questioning brow.


    “Should we investigate the Bet family?” Kyler ventured.


    Corey’s brow creased slightly at the mention of the name Alicia.


    It felt oddly familiar.


    A face shed in his mind.


    “Do you have a photo of Alicia Bet?” he asked.


    Kyler swiftly pulled one up.


    “She’s a rising young entrepreneur.


    In fact, she just received an awardst month,” Kyler noted.


    Recognition dawned on Corey.


    Alicia was Caden’s girlfriend.


    His brow furrowed.


    “What a coincidence,” he said, his voiceced with irony.


    Kyler hesitated.


    “Yes.


    Investigating her might prove…plicated.”


    At the moment, Caden and Alicia were practically inseparable.


    If they decided to dig deeper, Caden would undoubtedly retaliate, putting them at a disadvantage and making the risk hardly worth it.


    Only Kyler knew Corey’s true purpose ining to Warrington.


    Silence settled between them as Corey’s thoughts shifted to Ynda.


    A shadow flickered in his eyes.


    “There’s someone who can help me.”


    Ynda had ess to the chip, something Caden had entrusted to Dorian.


    It contained sensitive data rted to the Lina robot project.


    Swapping the chip out had been easy for her, and now she intended to use it as leverage in her meeting with Corey.


    When she handed him the chip, Corey nced at it, his expression unchanging.


    “So, you’re giving me the product of Caden’s hard work,” he said with a slight smirk.


    “How is this any different from trapping me in a corner?”
