The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1052:

Alicia couldn’t resist as his lips got closer. She muttered a soft curse under her breath.

Hank came back after finishing his task and walked right into the sight of Caden and Alicia kissing. He froze for a second, wondering how Alicia had even gotten in. Then, he just shrugged it off, figuring these two would find any excuse to steal a kiss. Without a word, Hank found himself another spot to sit, pretending he hadn’t seen a thing.

When it was time for business, Caden completely transformed. He became cold and decisive and gave off a serious “stay away” vibe. He handled everything fast and efficiently.

In just three days in Terriland, Caden had dug up everything he needed on Pierre.

A few years back, when Pierre was around 25, he had traveled to Terriland for work. The woman who went with Pierre was a mystery, but the photos Caden found hinted at something special between them. It seemed like more than just friendship, something even deeper than lovers.

Caden didn’t waste any time on the woman’s backstory and jumped straight to Pierre’s activities in Terriland. Pierre was supposed to be there for just a week, but he ended up staying for four months. During those months, Pierre had been working with Corey’s people, with Marlon leading the crew.

Hank brought in Marlon’s new fling, and after some threats and persuasion, the woman finally spilled the details. “I remember that man,” she said. “Tall, slender, an intern doctor. He harassed Marlon for months, showing up every day and causing trouble.”

Caden leaned in. “What kind of trouble?”

She hesitated before spilling more. “His woman took Marlon’s money but refused to make a deal with us. So, Marlon had her dragged back and forced her into surgery.”

Caden shot her a sharp look. “Did she die?”

“Yeah, they took out her heart. She got five million for it. Lucky for her, Mr. Hampton wanted her heart. Otherwise, who in Terriland’s life is worth five million?”

“Took out her heart!” Caden’s mind flashed to Alicia and then to Gemma. Corey had used Marlon to kill countless people in Terriland, all for Gemma. The number was…

Caden felt a twinge of unease as he observed the scene unfolding before him. It was impossible to track the complexities of the situation, and his thoughts raced through the potential consequences. Pierre had a small chance of fighting back, but with his current skills, Caden knew that facing Corey would be a death trap for him.

Once Caden confirmed that Pierre’s goal wasn’t Alicia, he decided not to concern himself with the rest of the details. He had the woman released but made sure she wouldn’t return to Marlon. Instead, Caden gave her some money and arranged for her to be barred from ever entering Terriland again.

On their way back to the hotel, Hank, ever the loyal assistant, asked, “Mr. Ward, do you want to let Corey know about this?”

Caden wasn’t interested in other people’s affairs. “Keep it quiet,” he instructed Hank.
