Chapter 462:


    Caden flipped through the documents with a calm expression.


    They held information about Corey that he had recentlymissioned someone to investigate.


    He carefully reviewed the contents, anxious not to overlook any vital details.


    Noticing Caden’s silence, Gerry paced the room with his hands on his hips, frustration etched across his face.


    “Even if you don’t care about the money, how can you stand such humiliation? Is this really the Caden I know?” He moved closer to Caden, suddenly cupping his face in his hands, and asked, “Are you really thinking about being a gigolo?”


    Caden was deeply dumbfounded by his sudden question.


    Caden’s expression was cold and forbidding.


    Gerry quickly withdrew his trembling hand.


    “Is there something you can stuff your mouth with?” Caden sneered as he took out a tissue and wiped the spot where Gerry had touched.


    “You’re so noisy.”


    His disdain agitated Gerry even more.


    “What, do you think I’m dirty? My hands aren’t filthy, you know! I guess years of friendship mean nothingpared to a woman, huh? I bet you don’t mind Alicia’s saliva as much.”


    Caden was already getting a headache from Gerry’s inane rants.


    He closed the file and put it in a drawer.


    Just then, Hank knocked and entered the room.


    His face was nk as he walked to Caden’s desk and handed over a ck card with gold embossing.


    “Mr.


    Ward, this is an invitation to Corey’s new productunch.


    Are you attending?”


    “He still has the nerve to invite us?” Gerry eximed.


    “Damn him! I’ll tell my brother to bring a machine gun, so we can take that bastard down once and for all!” He was so outraged, he didn’t even bother censoring hisnguage.


    “Please calm down, Mr.


    Hopkins,” Hank said slowly.


    “The invitation is not for you.”


    Gerry sputtered into silence.


    But then he collected himself and erupted, “Why the hell didn’t he invite me? Does he look down on me, is that it? Ha! Forget the machine gun, I might as well bring explosives and level hispany to the ground!”


    Hank said nothing and stood back.


    Caden picked up the invitation, ncing at it briefly before speaking in a calm voice.


    “Hank, call security and have them drag this noisy fool out of the building.”


    Momentster, Gerry continued to yell as he was hauled out of the office.


    “I sorely misjudged you, Caden! I came here to offer my sympathies, and this is how you treat me? Just wait! I’ll tell the media all about your dirty little secret!”


    The door mmed in his face, and there was peace atst.


    Caden immediately grabbed his phone and called Cliff.


    “Keep an eye on your brother.


    Don’t let him do anything that might provoke Corey.”


    Ever the sensible one in the group, Cliff simply replied, “I understand.”


    Caden thought for a moment before adding, “And don’t believe anything he says.”


    “You mean about your attempt to be a gigolo?” Cliff asked without missing a beat.


    Caden was rendered speechless.


    Damn that big-mouthed idiot!


    “Don’t worry, Mr.


    Ward,” Cliff reassured him.


    “I didn’t believe a word of it.”


    Caden was already nning to meet with Corey, so the productunch gave him the perfect opportunity to do so.
