NovelEnglishChapter 1045:
The meal ended with Corey nearly drinking himself into alcohol poisoning before he finally stopped. Leaning back
in his chair, his cheeks flushed from the alcohol, he wore a faint smile—a subtle yet genuine expression. It was
the first tAlicia had seen Corey smile like that, subtle yet genuine.
Alicia felt the transformative power of reconciliation. Power and influence could make people act with impunity,
exploiting the weaknesses of others. But who would have thought that emotions could be the sharpest weapon
of all?
The artificial heart Caden provided for Gemma had not only saved Corey but, in sway, had saved them all.
Alicia smiled softly, signaling the staff to arrange for Corey to be sent home.
As Corey began to stir from his drunken stupor, he noticed Caden and Alicia leaving. Unsteady on his feet, he
called out, “Alicia.”
Alicia stopped. Caden, ever cautious, instinctively pulled her closer, his arm protectively wrapping around her
waist.
Sensing Caden’s tension, Alicia gently held his hand, a quiet gesture of reassurance.
Corey approached Alicia, his expression sincere as he said, “Thank you.”

Alicia was slightly taken aback but then chuckled. “It’s nothing. Just try to drink less. Gemma just got out of the
hospital—she needs you.”
Corey's eyes, still red from emotion, held a faint, fragmented smile that reminded her of an innocent youth.
“Actually, I hadn't drunk before today. | only did it because | invited you two for dinner.”
Alicia raised an eyebrow, her tone light but firm. “You're thanking the wrong person. The heart was developed by
Caden. He's the one who deserves the most credit.”
Corey fell silent. For him, thanking Caden felt worse than swallowing poison.
Caden, arms crossed, raised an eyebrow as if waiting for the gratitude he knew wasn’t coming.
Corey's expression twisted, like he'd been forced to eat something foul, and he remained silent.
Caden smirked, his tone teasing. “What's wrong? Feeling shy?”
Corey's face darkened even further at the mockery. “Fine, I'll owe you this favor for now. If you ever go bankrupt,
I'll do my utmost to help you rise again.”
Caden chuckled at Corey's grudging response and wrapped an arm around Alicia, steering her toward the exit.
