NovelEnglishChapter 454: But why would Corey suddenly commission a painting from Alicia? Caden called Hank and asked, "Has Yolanda been seeing Corey often lately?" Hank replied, "They've met a few times." Fortunately, Hank sensed something was amiss and arranged for surveillance in Devarlton.
Unlike his boss, Caden, who was so head over heels in love that his life revolved around work, followed by a mad dash hto his sweetheart, Hank was more cautious.
After receiving the answer, Caden said a few words and hung up the phone.
Hank pushed the door open and asked, “Is something wrong, Mr.
Ward?" Caden remained silent, lost in thought.
However, Corey buying paintings and meeting with Yolanda felt connected in a way that left him uneasy.
It certainly didn't seem like a good sign.

Could he be plotting to use them against us?" Caden responded coldly, "I don't think so." If Corey had wanted to oppose him, he would have done so long ago.
But that wasn't the kind of person he was.
Once, they had been friends, but the pull of competition and the temptation of profit had eventually driven them apart.
Yet Corey was not the type to destroy others for personal gain.
Hank reminded him, "Mr.
Ward, people can change.
Corey built his empire from the ground up.
He's tasted the sweetness of wealth and luxury, and his appetite for riches might be insatiable." Caden listened, understanding Hank's concerns.
To prepare for the worst, he had two options to choose from.
The first was to ally with Corey, returning those clients to demonstrate his loyalty.
The second was to confront any challenge head-on, regardless of who stood in his way.
Hank considered this carefully; he knew Caden would never choose the first option.
He appeared courageous and wise, but beneath the surface, pride often overshadowed his willingness to seek reconciliation.
Caden remained silent, allowing Hank to leave.
Since Corey hadn't made a move yet, there was no reason to rush things.

Meanwhile, when Corey received the painting, a smile spread across his face.
He admired it with a glance, pausing for a moment before looking again.
"I've always admired your mother's paintings, but sadly, she created so but few.
The only one she did finish, you've kept as a rare treasure the content isfom novelenglish.net! I couldn't even buy it if I tried.

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr.
Hampton."
With a graceful gesture, she invited Corey into the private room.
