Chapter 461: This wasn't just about launching a new product.
It was a veiled warning aimed squarely at Caden, a clear attempt to get under his skin.
Corey's abrupt hostility had Caden questioning his real agenda.
They had no personal grudges or business conflicts.
Could it really be because a few clients chose to terminate their contracts with him? Who would buy that excuse? Caden stayed level-headed, refusing to jump to conclusions.
Noticing his calm resolve, Alicia tried to reassure him.
"Just because he has the chip doesn't mean he'll reap any rewards.
He knows nothing about what he's taken and will likely run into more than a few problems." But honestly, how likely were they to be that lucky? After all, Corey was also established in the tech world, surrounded by talent and resources.
Any problem he faced could be handled swiftly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaden closed off the topic with a shrug.
"That's business.
If Corey isn't worried about criticism, let him profit." Alicia looked at him in surprise.
"You're not going to do anything about it?" "I can't.
I handed it over.
If Dorian decided to pass it along to Corey, it means he has the skills." Alicia let out a soft gasp.
She understood his logic, but it still seemed unfair to Caden.
After all, he had put in years of hard work, only to see the benefits go to someone else.

Corey would profit handsomely, having invested very little himself.
Seeing Alicia's frustration, Caden felt even more determined to keep her out of this corporate battle. Although she was impulsive, her heart was pure.

"With all this going on, sex is all you can think about?" Caden paused, a thoughtful look crossing his face. "Alright then.
We'll have sex first and tackle the problem later." Alicia was at a loss for words.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that Caden was still upset.
His purpose in developing the chip went far beyond profit - he wanted to recreate a piece of his mother's presence, even if it meant building a robot.
That, more than anything, would have given him peace.
But now, his creation was in someone else's hands, exploited as just another tool to generate revenue.
And Alicia knew that he had done it for her.

Alicia wanted to comfort him and, feeling bold, suggested they take'a private moment in the office. She hoped it would lift his spirits.
Caden's passion was ignited.
He took the lead, and their evening together unfolded with unrestrained intensity. Soon, the news hit the airwaves, sparking a frenzy.
Heated discussions flooded every corner of the internet.
Even Gerry couldn't hold back.
He tracked Caden down, eager to hear his thoughts.
But Caden barely reacted, calm and indifferent amid the noise.
Exasperated by Caden's quiet stance, Gerry burst out, "Caden Carey is trying to get under your skin. Can't you see he is challenging you?"
