Chapter 479:


    Meanwhile, Caden returned to his apartment and workedte into the night.


    As a migraine began to form, he removed his sses and rested his eyes for a moment.


    He then thought about what awaited him in the bedroom.


    Setting his work aside, he headed to the bathroom for a shower.


    When he emerged, he found Alicia standing in front of her dresser, applying lotion.


    The familiar scent filled the air.


    He dried himself off with a towel and spoke, “Alright, you need to stop tempting me.


    You’ve been draining me a lot these past few days.”


    Alicia snorted.


    “So, you’ve finally reached your limit? Karma’s a bitch, and you deserve it.”


    She padded over to the bed, climbed under the covers, and let out a yawn.


    “But don’t worry.


    If you’re out ofmission, I’ll just find someone else to take over your duties.”


    Caden jumped in beside her, pulling her into his arms.


    Sleep quickly overtook him, and he couldn’t be bothered to respond to her teasing.


    Getting the seven hundred million dors had been the easy part.


    Corey knew that once he presented his offer to Caden, his intentions for Alicia would be exposed.


    Caden would inevitably be on guard, which would onlyplicate Corey’s future ns.


    However, Corey was sure that Caden would find out about his secret dealings sooner orter, so he decided to push forward with his approach.


    Unfortunately, he had miscalcted the situation.


    It seemed that Caden cared for Alicia far more than Corey had anticipated—or more than anyone could have expected.


    “What do you even want that woman for?” Ynda berated him.


    “You actually offered seven hundred million? Ha! I really underestimated you, you pervert!”


    Corey groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.


    “You’re too damn noisy.


    Men don’t like loud women.


    If you changed that, maybe Caden would spare a nce at you.


    Got it?”


    In a fit of anger, Ynda swept her arm across the coffee table, knocking everything to the floor.


    “Why are you being so reserved with your methods?” she spat, furious.


    “If Caden won’t let go of Alicia, then make the choice for him and ruin her reputation.


    Hire some thugs and have them take their liberties with her.


    Let’s see if Caden would even look her way again when he finds out she was used by someone else.”


    Corey flicked the ash from his cigarette and gave her a wry look.


    “You’ve known Caden since childhood.


    You should know how he works.


    Remember when Joshua kidnapped Alicia? She wasn’t harmed, but Joshua ended up blind, crippled, and locked up.


    If you go down this path, you’ll end up with an even worse fate.”


    Ynda’s jealousy grew, but she stopped, realizing the severity of what she had suggested.


    “Besides, Caden is cautious.


    He’s been thriving for years without anyone gaining any leverage on him,” Corey continued, his voice steady.


    “Even with Jerald, he managed the situation without lifting a finger.


    He’s got incredible restraint.


    But he did lose control with Joshua.


    Just a little.”


    Ynda gritted her teeth.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    “I don’t need you to remind me how much he cares for that woman, Alicia!” But Corey wasn’t interested in her frustrations.


    He was focused on one thing: finally dealing with Caden.


    Meanwhile, Caden returned to his apartment and workedte into the night.


    As a migraine began to form, he removed his sses and rested his eyes for a moment.


    He then thought about what awaited him in the bedroom.


    Setting his work aside, he headed to the bathroom for a shower.
