NovelEnglishChapter 1044:
Alicia responded, puzzled, “As her bodyguard, it’s natural for him to be concerned. Otherwise, what kind of job is
he doing?”
“If he’s so worried, then why did he make it a point to disclose Gemma'’s heart condition to me? Remember, you
were kidnapped by Corey, and Pierre was the catalyst.” Alicia suddenly realized and said, “If he’s concerned
about Gemma, it means he doesn’t have bad intentions toward her. But is he targeting me?”
Caden hadn't considered this angle, but Pierre's recent actions were indeed questionable. Initially, Pierre had
seemed to encourage Caden’s opposition to Corey, indicating sdislike for him. Yet, his apparent concern for
Corey's sister contradicted this. It was a puzzling contradiction.
Caden resolved to investigate exactly what had transpired with Pierre during his tin Terriland.
After Gemma'’s successful surgery, Corey swallowed his pride and invited Caden and Alicia over for a meal. Corey
drank heavily, becoming quite inebriated. Throughout the evening, he kept glancing at Caden, as though he
wanted to say something but couldn't bring himself to do so.
As a seasoned individual, Caden immediately sensed that Corey had ulterior motives. With a cold tone, he
warned, “Don’t even think about trying to repaywith your body. I didn’t save your sister out of kindness—I
just needed something to do.”

Corey stiffened, his expression shifting to irritation. “Who said I'd repay you with my body?”
A wave of nausea hit Corey, and his face twisted in disgust.
Unfazed, Caden said with a flat expression, “Then stop staring at me.”
Corey closed his eyes, rubbing his temples in frustration. He wanted to express his gratitude but couldn't bear to
give Caden the satisfaction, leaving the words stuck in his throat. After a moment’s thought, Corey decided
against saying anything and instead poured Caden a drink, awkwardly raising his glass. “Cheers.”
Caden, however, didn’t return the gesture, refusing to drink.
Unbothered, Corey asked, “What do you want in return? | don’t want to owe you a favor.”
Caden’s gaze darkened. “Anything | want?”
With confidence, Corey replied, “There's nothing | can’t give.”
“Your life,” Caden retorted.
Corey froze, momentarily speechless. After regaining his composure, he offered, “I own dozens of clubs in
Terriland, catering to all sorts of tastes—even transgender performers. If that’s your thing, | can arrange for you
to have sfun with the best.”
Caden absentmindedly twisted the
ring on his finger, his expression
unreadable. “I'm mar ey’ ke replied

the table. With a knowing look, he
