The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 813:

“Caden’s life is a whirlwind these days. His own grandmother sees him but rarely. It’s been two years. Don’t you wonder if your ex-fiancé has evolved in any way?”

Instead of responding, Alicia hurled a glass in his direction.

Corey swiftly sidestepped, avoiding what could have been a direct hit to his head. The glass shattered to the floor, its fragments scattering, leaving Corey a bit shaken. Yet, he teased, “Quite the intense reaction. It seems you’ve still got some attachment, you sentimental one.”

The rivalry that ensued was intense, with Caden fiercely obstructing Corey’s attempts to acquire it, regardless of the consequences. This compelled Corey to take matters into his own hands, determined to secure the device at any cost. Recognizing Caden’s expertise, Corey carefully prepared a strategy before leaving.
