Chapter 463:

He attended the event.

The venue was packed when he arrived, and the guests were all expressing their amazement and curiosity over the Q Robot.

Although it was average in design, its movements were incredibly agile, and it was able to interact with the crowd with relative ease.

Caden stood on the sidelines, one hand in his pocket while the other held a glass of wine.

He watched the spectacle with a faint smile.

At some point, Corey approached him.

“Mr.

Ward,” he greeted with a gentle but confident smile.

Caden raised his wine glass toward him in a small toast.

“Congratulations, Mr.

Hampton.”

There was a tinkling sound as their glasses clinked together.

“I must thank you, Mr.

Ward,” Corey said candidly.

“It’s truly impressive, and I have a great admiration for it.”

Caden smirked and joked, “Then please build me a robot clone of yourself, Mr.

Hampton.

I could use some extra help around the house.”

Far from getting offended, Corey burst out laughing.

“You’ve been so quiet lately, Mr.

Ward.

I thought you no longer cared.

It turns out you still hate me.”

Caden straightened, his tone no longer hasty or obvious.

“Corey, what exactly do you intend to do? Speak frankly.”

But Corey maintained his facade, his face betraying none of his true intentions.

“How can you say that about me? I just happened to acquire the chips you discarded.

It was such a waste, so I thought, why not use them to make some money?”

“And how much did you lose when you partnered with the Moss family?” Caden pressed.

“What do you mean?” Corey asked nonchalantly, taking a sip of his drink.

Belonging to .

“Business is business.

Why are you making it sound like I signed my life away in a contract?”

Just then, Yolanda appeared, as if on cue.

She lifted her skirts as she approached.

She had spotted Caden the moment he arrived and had planned to meet him backstage.

But her excitement got the better of her.

“Caden,” she called out.

Although she had chosen to help Corey, her feelings for Caden remained.

In fact, they were written all over her face.

Caden’s gaze was indifferent as it landed on her.

Seeing her stand beside Corey, he realized the two were a perfect match.

He chuckled softly, a glint of mischief in his eyes.

“Well, Mr.

Hampton, it appears you didn’t sign your life away after all.

Just your body.”

Corey’s smile faltered at the remark.

Caden smirked again, swirling his wine glass between his fingers.

“So, between you two, who’s in charge? All things considered, Mr.

Hampton, your relationship with Miss Moss might actually elevate your status.”

Yolanda’s cheeks burned.

“It’s not like that, Caden!”

But Caden was all for their union.

“It makes sense, doesn’t it? You’re delicate and moody, while Mr.

Hampton is patient and ambitious.

I bet he knows you very well.

You can definitely rely on him, so you’d better cherish him.”

Just like that, Yolanda’s flushed face turned pale.

Caden’s eagerness to cut her off and push her away was nothing short of heartbreaking.

And there was nothing she could do about it.
