NovelEnglishChapter 1079:
Talia’s eyes filled with tears. “Aitana’s last wish was for you to stay out of trouble. Please, don’t get dragged into
my problems.”
Their conversation was interrupted by Corey's arrival. His stature commanded attention, and his presence made
Talia visibly tense, causing her to retreat into a corner.
Pierre stood and faced Corey as he approached. “Mr. Hampton, what brings you here?” he asked.
Corey's gaze shifted to Talia, huddling behind Pierre. “What happened here?” he asked.
Pierre responded with the truth, “I got caught up in a brawl on impulse.”
“Really?” Corey scoffed. “Then why did that woman run off? Were you involved in prostitution?”
Pierre averted his gaze, maintaining an indifferent expression. “If you doubt my word, you can ask the police.”
Corey's tone hardened. “If it weren't for Gemma, | wouldn't have bothered coming here to bail you out.” Pierre,
visibly distracted, merely frowned and remained silent.

Gemma felt like a dagger had just stabbed her heart. She slumped back into her seat, her eyes glued to the
woman and Pierre.
From where she sat, she could see the woman's intense expression as she said something in a low voice, then
suddenly broke down, crying into Pierre’s arms, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Pierre didn’t move an inch. Those broad shoulders, the ones that used to protect Gemma, were now wrapped
around someone else.
Even with Pierre's back to her, Gemma could feel the heavy tension radiating from him. Was he upset? Feeling
heartbroken? Or just trying to comfort the woman?
