The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 575

Chapter 575:

Silence enveloped the conversation on the other end of the line.

“Isn’t Blake your nephew?” Corey asked.

“Alicia was once your younger brother’s wife.

Now, your relative has developed a crush on her.

Is there some genetic trait in the Ward family that makes you all unable to see what’s right under your noses?”

Caden let out a light laugh.

“There are plenty of people who find Alicia appealing.

Blake is just one of many.

I even give you the green light to like her, but just know you will end up alone.”

Corey scoffed, “Feelings can be fickle, Caden.

Are you really so sure Alicia will remain devoted to you forever?”

“Yes, I’m pretty sure.”

Corey had never met someone so conceited before.

He returned to the matter at hand.

“I can tell Alicia cares about this shareholder.

He is an obstacle to your future with Alicia, but I assume you don’t mind, right?”

Caden snorted in response.

Corey continued, “The chip needs to be repaired, and I have no other options.

As long as Alicia agrees to help me, I’ll return Blake unharmed.

I hope you won’t interfere with this, Caden.”

Caden replied, “Corey, you didn’t have to make this call.”

Corey narrowed his gaze, struggling to decipher Caden’s true intentions.

“What do you mean?”

Caden replied, “Blake is in your territory now.

Do what you will with him.

It’s none of my concern now.

Even if he dies there, it won’t matter.”

Corey was at a loss for words.

He was taken aback by Caden’s ruthless reaction, realizing that he had grossly underestimated Caden’s cold-heartedness.

Reluctantly, he had to admit that Caden was too petty to show any mercy, even to a relative.

Shortly after they ended the call, Caden went to see Alicia.

“Are you willing to help Corey?”

At first, Alicia hesitated to get involved, but with Blake captured, it became clear that Corey was no pushover.

To avoid escalating the situation further, she knew she had to tread carefully.

“What’s your take on this?” Alicia asked, seeking Caden’s perspective.

Caden shrugged, his indifference palpable.

“It’s up to you.”

Alicia pressed on, “Are you feeling threatened?”
