Chapter 544:


    Alicia’s gaze sharpened.


    “Caden doesn’t sign your paychecks.


    Why fear him?”


    “That’s true, but you’re aware of his reputation…” Several others exchanged nervous looks.


    Caden had a vtile reputation in Warrington, acquiring businesses on a whim and behaving erratically.


    Upon his return, Caden swiftly acquired several prominentpanies, treating business ventures and stock purchases like mere amusements, driven by a recklessness that defied reason.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Everyone knew about his rtionship with Alicia, so it seemed clear that Caden was targeting ke out of jealousy, determined to eliminate hispetition.


    They knew better than to meddle in personal matters—anyone who tried would risk disaster.


    Knowing Caden’s nature well, Alicia didn’t want to add pressure on those caught in the crossfire, so she left, frustrated.


    Her assistant caught up to her and spoke in a low voice.


    “Ms.


    Bet, you’ll likely need to discuss this directly with Mr.


    Ward.


    If you resist, he’ll only escte things.”


    Alicia clenched her jaw, irritation bubbling up.


    It wasn’t about shielding ke.


    It was Caden acting like a child.


    How could someone his age still be pulling stunts like this?


    With that energy, why not focus on more critical issues, like dealing with Ynda?


    Her anger mounted the more she thought about the whole situation.


    “Discuss? I’m not discussing anything with him!”


    The assistant sighed.


    Why were they both acting like kids?


    Meanwhile, Caden hadn’t returned to his office, avoiding his work for fear his frustration would impact his decisions.


    Corey’s issue still simmered, so he met Mayson Herrera, a client who had purchased his Q Robot, to investigate the problem.


    Mayson, a retired official, had bought the robot out of curiosity but was disappointed by its malfunctions.


    “It’s not just mine; the other robots have simr issues.


    It looks like a total failure.


    Let’s see if Corey can fix this mess,” Mayson said.


    Caden discovered that the root of the problemy in the very section Alicia had revised.


    She had made substantial improvements, optimizing the robot’s functionality and enhancing the original design.


    However, after Corey took over, he added his own modifications, creating unforeseen issues and eventually leading to the project’s rejection in a short period.


    Corey’s skills should have been enough to resolve the problems.


    The simplest fix would be to revert to Caden’s original version, removing Alicia’s enhancements.


    So, why had no one suggested that yet?


    The problem hade to light days ago, and stakeholders were losing patience.


    Negative reviews were piling up online, and still, Corey was nowhere to be found.


    Was he finding a solution?


    Caden shot a nce at Mayson, who stood next to him.


    “Has Corey not reached out to you individually?”
