Chapter: 826

"Corey could never have designed something so close to our prototype in such little time. The likeness might fool some, but those pupils don't lie. He definitely got his hands on the chip."

With the important chip now in his grasp, building a humanoid model would be a simple task.

Success was only a matter of time.

After venting her frustration, Alicia sensed a deeper meaning in Caden's earlier words. "What are you getting at?"

Caden kept his cool. "If he has the chip, why not perfect it before going public? The wealthy demand top-notch quality, but he seems oddly unconcerned. That kind of behavior points to something deeper."

This wasn't just about launching a new product.

It was a veiled warning aimed squarely at Caden, a clear attempt to get under his skin.

Corey's abrupt hostility had Caden questioning his real agenda.

They had no personal grudges or business conflicts.

Could it really be because a few clients chose to terminate their contracts with him?

Who would buy that excuse?

Caden stayed level-headed, refusing to jump to conclusions.

Noticing his calm resolve, Alicia tried to reassure him, "Just because he has the chip doesn't mean he'll reap any rewards. He knows nothing about what he has taken and will likely run into more than a few problems."

But honestly, how likely were they to be that lucky?

After all, Corey was also established in the tech world, surrounded by talent and resources. Any problem he faced could be handled swiftly.

Caden closed off the topic with a shrug. “That's business. If Corey isn't worried about criticism, let him profit."

Alicia looked at him in surprise. "You're not going to do anything about it?"

"I can't. I handed it over. If Dorian decided to pass it along to Corey, it means he has the skills."

Alicia let out a soft gasp.

She understood his logic, but it still seemed unfair to Caden.

After all, he had put in years of hard work, only to see the benefits go to someone else.

Once the robot was completed, it would be easy to sell to wealthy buyers in big cities, even as a novelty. Corey would profit handsomely, having invested very Little himself.

Seeing Alicia's frustration, Caden felt even more determined to keep her out of this corporate battle.

Although she was impulsive, her heart was pure.

"Let's go home," Caden said casually, as though nothing had happened.

"We haven't had sex tonight."

The sudden change in topic left Alicia both stunned and annoyed.

“With all this going on, sex is all you can think about?"

Caden paused, a thoughtful look crossing his face "Alright then. We will have sex first and tackle the problem later Alicia was at a loss for words."

Although she didn't want to, she had to admit that Caden was still upset.
