Chapter 401:

Ciara, clearly enjoying the drama, replied, “I told you, Blake is no ordinary man.

If he can bring me so much happiness, don’t you think that joining her on a trip would be a simple task for him?” She further fueled the fire, adding, “Alicia will be away for quite some time, and with Blake just a wall away at the hotel, who knows what might happen…” Before she could finish, Caden had already stormed out.

Rather than losing his composure and rushing to find Alicia, he returned to the office.

Hank, who was about to leave for the day, was taken aback by Caden’s sudden presence.

“Mr.

Ward, are you really working overtime right after returning?” Caden responded curtly, “You can leave on time.”

Hank hesitated, clearly unsure.

“It wouldn’t be right to leave you here alone…”

“Then do something for me,” Caden insisted.

Hank stood there, dumbfounded.

His expression twisted in confusion.

“Mr.

Ward, I…”

“Someone reached out to me a few days ago regarding the gallery issue.

Do you remember? Get me the original documents.”

Hank felt a surge of regret.

As he turned to exit Caden’s office, he nearly slapped himself for his earlier hesitation.

Caden glanced over the original documents Hank had handed him.

Now fully in work mode, Hank suggested, “Actually, this matter can be resolved quite easily.

I can take care of it.” But he froze mid-sentence as Caden suddenly began to remove his clothes.

When Caden removed his clothes, his expression remained stoic, showing no hint of emotion.

It was as if he had casually taken a sip of coffee, completely unfazed by his actions.

Hank stared at him, bewildered, and asked, “Mr.

Ward, could you please explain what you’re doing?”

Caden continued to focus on the documents, not bothering to look up.

“Please leave my office and remember to close the door behind you,” he commanded.

Hank, at a complete loss for words, simply stood there, speechless.

Caden carefully placed the documents on his desk and quickly snapped a photo of them.

Without hesitation, he sent the image to Alicia.

It took a while before Alicia finally noticed the message.

As she examined the image, she became so focused on the content that she completely overlooked the reason for receiving his message.

After all, she had taken the step of blocking him.

The photo depicted the cover of a document, one that represented the exclusive authorization granted at the gallery’s inception.

Alicia felt puzzled as to why he had chosen to send her this particular image out of the blue.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she decided not to respond.

A few minutes later, Caden sent another message: “There seems to be an issue with the gallery’s land.”

Intrigued, Alicia quickly replied, “What seems to be the problem?”

Caden responded, “I believe it would be best to discuss this in person.”

Alicia found herself at a loss for words again.

She was well aware of his intentions and chose not to respond directly.

However, she sent someone to investigate the matter regarding the gallery’s land.

As expected, they confirmed that there was indeed a problem.

When Caden had initially purchased the gallery, the land was highly coveted, and he had acquired it at a premium price.Property © of .

He claimed to have paid extra, but the reality was that in doing so, he had made a number of enemies along the way.

Now, those he had offended were returning to settle their accounts.
