The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 460

Chapter 460:

He had forgotten all about it the moment he saw Alicia’s face.

He grabbed the phone and checked the call’s duration.

It had been over ten minutes already.

Had Gerry heard their scandalous conversation?

Caden immediately ended the call, feeling a bit sheepish.

At first, Alicia was angry and embarrassed.

But the more she thought about it, the more she realized that, between the two of them, Caden was at a greater disadvantage.

After all, he was notorious for being aloof and celibate, the epitome of a cold and domineering CEO.

Who would have thought that he was capable of saying such obscene things?

Soon, Alicia’s negative feelings turned into amusement.

“Oh, no.

Considering what a blabbermouth Gerry is, everyone will be talking about your plans to be a gigolo by tomorrow morning.”

Caden was seething.

He couldn’t even bring himself to say anything.

With his lust doused so unceremoniously, he sat back with a huff and held her.

Still not saying anything, he took out one of the snacks she brought and started to eat.

Alicia hadn’t made them, but they tasted delicious, and they enjoyed the food while wrapped in each other’s arms.

It was a warm and cozy moment between lovers.

And then Caden’s phone buzzed again.

An entertainment news alert popped up on the screen.

Alicia reached for it first.

“Wow, did Gerry really spread rumors about you?” she teased.

She tapped on the notification, and a photo popped up on the screen.

Alicia’s smile froze, and all the color drained from her face.

Caden noticed her unusual behavior and instinctively reached for his phone.

The headline blazed across the screen: “Breaking Sensation from Hampton Group: Code Q Humanoid Robot — Personally Endorsed by Mr.

Hampton as a True Human Substitute.”

An image accompanying the article displayed a robot dressed in lifelike clothing, with a mask, flowing hair, and a delicate, almost human face.

It was unsettlingly realistic.

However, it didn’t resemble Caden’s mother.

The office fell silent as he and Alicia exchanged looks, the unspoken understanding clear in their gazes.

“The chip you handed to the Moss family ended up with Corey.

He’s claimed it as his own and put your unreleased model on the market under his name,” Alicia said, her voice measured, though a tremor of frustration crept in.

“It might not have your mother’s face, but everything else screams your design.

It’s a bold copycat move.

And to think I once believed Corey was trustworthy!”

Caden squeezed her hand, studying the image intently.

“Corey could never have designed something so close to our prototype in such a short time.

The likeness might fool some, but those pupils don’t lie.

He definitely got his hands on the chip.”

With the important chip now in his grasp, building a humanoid model would be a simple task.

Success was only a matter of time.

After venting her frustration, Alicia sensed a deeper meaning in Caden’s earlier words.

“What are you getting at?”

Caden kept his cool.

“If he has the chip, why not perfect it before going public? The wealthy demand top-notch quality, but he seems oddly unconcerned.

That kind of behavior points to something deeper.”
