Chapter 800: The secretary's confusion deepened.
"I thought it was you, sir." Caden's stomach twisted as dread began to creep in. Just as he was about to order her location traced, his phone buzzed with a new message from Alicia: "Don't wait up fortonight. Something cup. I'll be back in tfor dinner tomorrow." He stared at the message, the unfamiliar tone of her words striking a chord of unease within him. Despite her instructions, he immediately had her location tracked. The report cback swiftly: she was in Terriland-with Corey.

The once-arrogant woman had been reduced to a grotesque spectacle, a living example of Marlon's merciless vengeance. Marlon, a man driven by a dark past and a festering hatred fueled by the loss of his lover, had taken his revenge to horrific extremes. Yolanda's hands had been severed, and she was being displayed like a macabre trophy for profit.
Alicia took one look at the scene before her stomach churned violently. Turning away, she stumbled back, pressing a trembling hand over her mouth as nausea rose uncontrollably. Marlon, observing her reaction, handed her a tissue with a chilling smirk.
"After all this twith Caden, Ms. Bennett," he said, his voice cold and mocking, "I'd have thought you'd have a stronger stomach." Alicia glanced at him, her eyes briefly meeting his. She caught a glimpse of the raw hatred burning in his gaze, an intensity that was both unsettling and dangerous. Behind his back, she noticed a subtle movement of his hand, followed by the faint click of a trigger.
Her instincts sharpened instantly, her eyes widening as she took a cautious step back. The tension in the air crackled like a storm ready to break. Before she could react further, Marlon was abruptly sent sprawling to the floor.
Corey stood over Marlon, his gaze cold and unrelenting.
"Did you forget my warning?" he hissed, his voice low and menacing.

"It's only natural for him to hate you. Annis was the woman he loved more than anyone, but she was killed because of Caden's plans." Alicia rinsed her mouth and dried the corners of her lips, her face betraying little emotion. Corey couldn't hide his admiration as he added, "I have to say, I still respect Caden. Despite everything, he's grown his business empire cleanly. Annis' death may be linked to him, but the real culprit is from Terriland. Even if an investigation is launched, no evidence will trace back to him. His reputation stays intact." It was a stark contrast to his own approach, where he was willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Alicia, however, remained unmoved, dabbing at her lips with a composed expression.
Corey smirked and, with a hint of humor in his voice, said, "You went withto Terriland. Caden knows about that, right? Are you considering getting back at him?”
