The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 428:

Alicia hadn’t heard of him, but she noticed the subtle change in Caden’s expression.

She knew that Corey and Caden had once been classmates — rivals and allies who had eventually gone their separate ways, each carving out their own domain in their respective fields.

“Why are all the top players so good-looking?” she mused aloud.

At that moment, Corey noticed them and approached with a warm smile.

“Mr.

Ward,” he greeted, extending his hand.

His mature, chiseled features were strikingly handsome.

“It’s been a while.”

Caden shook his hand, then casually slipped an arm around Alicia’s waist.

“My girlfriend, Alicia,” he introduced her simply.

Corey nodded politely.

Unlike Caden’s relaxed nature, Corey exuded a steady composure and quickly steered the conversation toward work.

With a casual smile, Caden asked, “So, what brings you to an event like this, Mr.

Hampton?”

Corey chuckled.
