Chapter 966:

“While you were leaving the Hampton Group, wasn’t there stension with Corey?” Caden asked casually as

he dressed in front of the mirror. “Why is he suddenly so generous? Has he lost his mind?”

Alicia sighed. “He’s never been one to follow logic.”

Caden selected a tailored shirt and, after putting it on, meticulously adjusted his hair, ensuring not a strand was

Alicia blinked, sensing an undertone in his words. “What's going on? Do you think Corey is trying to provoke

“Yes, he’s definitely trying to irritateintentionally,” Caden replied.

Alicia knew Corey was indeed capable of such antics. Yet, what difference did it make? Corey was currently

overwhelmed with his own troubles. Even if he aimed to provoke Caden, it would only be a slight annoyance.

After about ten minutes, Caden was ready.

Alicia inspected him and joked, “You look the sas always. What took so long?”

Alicia had agreed to the meal primarily to see Gemma. She had promised Gemma an outing, and today

scenic spots.

Gemma, who seldom ventured out, was intrigued by everything but refrained from purchasing.

“Why don’t you buy anything? If you see clothes you like, I'll cover it,” Alicia said.

Gemma shook her head. “Once I return, I'll be confined at hagain. Who would | even dress up for?”

Alicia’s heart ached, but she bought the clothes for Gemma anyway.

Corey, observing from a distance, watched with a shadow over his eyes. He discreetly purchased everything

Gemma showed interest in, accumulating so many bags that he couldn't carry them himself.
