Chapter: 861

But it was of little consequence now. The products had already been sold.

Yolanda then disclosed the stark reality.

As Corey's expression shifted, Yolanda reveled in his shock. "So, interested in trying it? Caden's mother was celebrated as Warrington's foremost beauty in her youth. You're bound to feel something once you see her."

Corey's face tensed briefly, though he held back any outburst of anger.

Around them, the entrance of the restaurant buzzed with activity.

His voice came out cold. "Get in the car first. We'll discuss this at the office."

Yolanda was confident that he wouldn't risk taking any action against her.

Backed by the powerful Moss family, she felt fearless, even in the face of Caden, much less Corey.

After all, she believed Corey owed her gratitude.

But no sooner had they entered the car than Corey suddenly seized her wrist and forced her back against the seat.

Yolanda turned to him, bewildered and on the verge of questioning his actions, when Corey's hand tightened around her throat.

The car was enveloped in a tense silence.

With a chilling glare, Corey scoffed, "Crazy woman, did I instruct you to do this?"

Flushing with anger and struggling for breath, Yolanda weakly fought against his grip.

“You've crossed a line with Caden's mother. You used my name, and Caden will hold me responsible!" Corey's voice seethed with fury. “Do you think you can get away with this?"

As Yolanda's eyes started to roll back, her strength waning, Corey suddenly let go, pushing her aside.

Yolanda grabbed her throat, coughing harshly. Yet even in her weakened state, she said boldly, "If you're not up to it, my father will step in. Do you think you're the only one with courage?"

Corey struck her sharply across the face.

In disbelief, Yolanda touched her cheek and said, “How dare you strike me?"

Corey responded coldly, “Were it not for your Moss family ties, I would end you right now!"

The lethal look in his eyes sent a shiver down Yolanda's spine, making her recoil.

Her voice mixed with fear and anger, she said, "You're bluffing. Would you actually dare to kill me?"

Didn't he have feelings for her?

Why would he react so violently over something so seemingly minor?

Corey lost his cool, hastily unbuttoning his collar before settling into the driver's seat and starting the engine.

As he drove, Corey made urgent calls to his team, instructing them to quickly handle the scandal surrounding the erotic mannequin.

Soon after, Kyler reported back, saying, "Mr. Hampton, the trending topic has been deleted, and search engines have been altered. Any references to the mannequin are now blocked."

Corey's brow furrowed in concern.

Who could have moved so swiftly?

Wasn't Caden supposed to be away at an event?
