Chapter 478:

I need to know everything he’s up to!”

Corey scoffed.

“I don’t know whether to praise your dedication or laugh at your stupidity.”

But Yolanda was only worried about one thing.

“What were you doing at Caden’s this morning?”

Corey lit a cigarette and took a slow drag.

“1 brought a bag of cash and offered to buy Alicia from him.

“How much?”

“Seven hundred million dollars.” Yolanda was stunned.

Seven hundred million was no small sum.

Although Caden had no shortage of money, seven hundred million dollars was certainly more valuable than a single woman.

And yet, Corey had returned alone and Caden had sent over a masturbation cup.

Caden had obviously turned down the deal.

Alicia was more important to him than seven hundred million dollars.

Yolanda’s hands clenched into fists at her sides.

“Vuell, I don’t know whether to call you stupid or Alicia cheap for reducing Caden to this state!”

Leaning back in his chair, Corey closed his eyes and thought about the events that had led up to today.

He had thought for half a month before coming up with this suggestion.

Getting the seven hundred million dollars 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 only complicate Corey’s future plans.

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

Unfortunately, he had miscalculated 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?” Yolanda 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 glance at you.

Got it?”

In a fit of anger, Yolanda 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.”Belonging to .

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.”

Yolanda’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.”

Yolanda gritted her teeth.

“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.
