The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 549

Chapter 549:

Then, in a sudden burst of rage, she grabbed him by the collar.

“You are not to design a ring for Caden.

If I find out you’re working with him, I’ll have my father destroy you.”

The designer, startled, looked at her in shock, remembering the once graceful and poised heiress he used to know.

Now, she seemed unhinged, consumed by anger and pain.

Corey interjected, his voice biting, “Are you waiting for her to actually cut your throat?”

The designer swallowed, said nothing, and left in stunned silence.

Once he was gone, Yolanda steadied herself, her mind flashing back to her harrowing time at the police station—the threats, the rough and revolting touches.

Though they hadn’t taken things to the worst extreme, the memory haunted her.

And the snakes, seen as symbols of misfortune in her culture, had crawled over her, making her skin crawl.

And she knew it was all Caden’s doing.

He had wanted her to suffer.

Yolanda’s face hardened with hatred as she turned to Corey.

“Help me,” she whispered, her voice laced with venom.

Corey glanced at Yolanda, unimpressed by her sudden determination.

Without a word, he tossed the documents he was holding onto her desk.

“The Q Robot has a bug, stemming from the chip Caden provided.

I need you to find a way to fix it.”

Distracted and visibly shaken, Yolanda snapped, “I can’t deal with work right now!”

Corey’s voice was firm, unyielding.

“Then why agree to work with me in the first place? If you’re unwilling to focus, we can end this contract now and be done with each other.”

Yolanda bit her lip, speechless.

After a tense moment, she gritted her teeth and picked up the documents, flipping through them.

They were minor issues, ones she could handle with ease.

“Fine,” she said at last.

“I’ll solve everything by tomorrow—but only if you help me first.”

Corey raised an eyebrow, his patience thinning.

“Help you with what?”

“Caden wants to propose to Alicia,” she explained, her voice wavering.

“He’s looking for a designer to create the ring.

The designer you saw earlier once worked with my father and assumed I was Caden’s fiancée.”

Her face fell, the heartbreak evident as her lips trembled.

“I won’t let him propose to her.”

Corey let out a cold laugh.

“Do you really think you can stop Caden from doing what he wants?”

Yolanda’s eyes flashed with defiance.

“If they get married, you can forget about ever having Alicia.”

Corey’s expression remained indifferent.

“Whether Alicia marries him or not means nothing to me—as long as she’s alive.”

“But if you want Alicia, she’ll have to leave Caden first, won’t she?” Yolanda’s voice was steady as she gripped Corey’s hand.

“I have a plan, but I’ll need your cooperation.”

Corey hesitated.

He didn’t particularly want to scheme with Yolanda again, especially after she’d recently tried to push the blame onto him.

However, the issues with the Q Robot were pressing, and Yolanda was the only one who could help.
