NovelUpdateChapter 440: After ending the call, Corey set his phone aside and moved to the floor-to-ceiling window of his presidential suite.
He stood silently, gazing out over the luminous city of Warrington, his eyes half-closed as he absorbed the view. The city below was alive, its skyscrapers stretching into the night.
Warrington was a place that never truly slept, bursting with energy and possibility.
A knock at the door broke his reverie.
"Mr.
Hampton?" His secretary, Kyler Turner, stood in the doorway, nodding respectfully.
"We've received the results from our investigation." Corey held out his hand for the file.
Inside, he found postnatal records for two women: one was Regina, who had given birth to Yolanda in Warrington; the other was a woman with the last nBennett, who had given birth to a girl named Alicia Bennett.
The report was brief, including only basic information-height, weight, and exact birth times of the babies.
The specific details he needed were missing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Were the Moss and Bennett families close back then?" Corey asked, his brow furrowing.
He wondered why Regina, originally from Devarlton, had ended up delivering her child in Warrington. Kyler glanced at his notes.
"I looked into it, sir.
Mrs.
Moss was vacationing in Warrington when she suffered a fall, which led to early labor.
Coincidentally, she gave birth on the sday as Mrs.
Bennett.
The two families hardly interacted at all." Corey narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Yolanda does have the look of a premature baby," he murmured, closing the file.
"But... what a pity." A pity? He didn't elaborate, and Kyler raised a questioning brow.
"Should we investigate the Bennett family?" Kyler ventured.
Corey's brow creased slightly at the mention of the nAlicia.
It felt oddly familiar.
A face flashed in his mind.
"Do you have a photo of Alicia Bennett?" he asked.
Kyler swiftly pulled one up.
"She's a rising young entrepreneur.
In fact, she just received an award last month," Kyler noted.
Recognition dawned on Corey.
Alicia was Caden's girlfriend.
His brow furrowed.
"What a coincidence," he said, his voice laced with irony.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKyler hesitated.
"Yes.
Investigating her might prove... complicated." At the moment, Caden and Alicia were practically inseparable.
If they decided to dig deeper, Caden would undoubtedly. ly retaliate, putting them at a disadvantage and making the risk hardly worth it. Only Kyler knew Corey's true purpose in coming to Warrington.
Silence settled between them as Corey's thoughts shifted to Yolanda.
A shadow flickered in his eyes.
"There's someone who can help me." Yolanda had access to the chip, something Caden had entrusted to Dorian.
It contained sensitive data related to the Lina robot project.
Swapping the chip out had been easy for her, and now she intended to use it as leverage in her meeting with Corey. When she handed him the chip, Corey glanced at it, his expression unchanging.
"So, you're givingthe product of Caden's hard work," he gaid with a the kthe stight smirk. "How is this any different from trappingin a corner?"
