The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 887

Chapter 887:

Recently, for unknown reasons, every project Alicia managed encountered a myriad of issues, all demanding her

attention. Growing impatient after addressing countless problems, Alicia made a call to inquire about the

ongoing issues.

Corey's response was unexpectedly personal. “How are things between you and Caden?”

It had been stsince they last talked, and Corey's voice sounded rougher, as though he had aged

significantly overnight.

Alicia responded icily, “That's irrelevant to you. Your focus should be on your responsibilities as a shareholder.”

Corey's reply was dismissive. “What's the value in accumulating wealth? The things | truly desire cannot be

purchased.”

Alicia, puzzled, promptly checked Corey's recent activities. She noticed that he had purchased a ticket to

Terriland and transferred a substantial sum of money, though the specifics eluded her. This pattern suggested

that Corey was likely involved in something dubious.

“What exactly did you acquire in Terriland?” Alicia pressed.

Corey sounded annoyed. “Are you investigating me?”

Alicia retorted, “For transactions exceeding fifteen million, compliance with the contract is mandatory. Did you

adhere to it?”

Corey remained silent.

The shift in dynamics, from CEO to being eclipsed by a woman, left him visibly unsettled. During the last two

years, Alicia had devoted herself entirely to supporting Gemma, while he had handed over the group's power,

never taking her seriously, thinking she was just playing around.

But Alicia had revamped the entire operational structure, gaining the trust and support of the team. Most of the

company’s success was due to her strategies behind the scenes. Corey had grown complacent, and now he

found it impossible to regain control.

Furthermore, Alicia's potential actions during a major restructuring were concerning. Caden would likely exploit

any instability to take over the Hampton Group.

After a tense pause, Corey finally spoke. “I received snews in Terriland you might find pertinent. Dorian has

taken Yolanda back. It appears a father-daughter reconciliation is on the horizon.”

Alicia’s thoughts drifted to Dorian, stirring a pang of ache in her heart.

In the past two years, after discovering her partnership with Corey, Dorian had offered quiet support in

numerous ways, driven by guilt. Yet, Alicia had consistently declined his offers for reconciliation.

The car accident remained a haunting memory that she couldn’t shake off. After hanging up the phone, Alicia

struggled to settle her emotions.

She picked up a book and absentmindedly began flipping through its pages. Eventually, she realized it was a

cookbook tailored for those with erratic schedules and digestive issues, recommended by a gastroenterologist

she had consulted recently at the hospital.
