Chapter 287

Corey knew that she was clever, so he didn't have the slightest intention to lie. He readily admitted to it right away.

"That's right, he's the one who sent me. Since you're so smart, you should know what he's aiming for."

"Hah…" Katherine snorted. "I don't even have to think to know. Who else could it possibly be but Mike?"

Corey nodded, then shook his head.

"It's something more than that now. Myles' entire body is severely paralyzed, and he can't even talk now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stared straight at Katherine. When he saw how calm she was, he raised an eyebrow slightly. "You don't look surprised."

Katherine looked disinterested. "It's not out of my expectations, but it did happen sooner than I thought it would."

"Is there still hope for him, then?"

She side-eyed him before replying indifferently, "You don't have to beat around the bush with me. It doesn't matter if there's hope for him or not; I still won't do anything about it. If he won't, then Mike won't either."

It was such a straightforward answer from her.

Corey knew her temperament, so he wasn't surprised. He nodded in understanding, and when he next spoke up, he had changed the topic.

"How long are you planning to stay in Kyoland? You should give me, your old friend, a chance to welcome you as a host."

With that, he shifted his gaze and directed it at Joaquin with a smile.

"Also, some of our old friends in Kyoland have already heard about your marriage. They're all curious about your mysterious husband's identity. Why don't you find an opportunity to introduce him to us?"

Joaquin calmly took a sip of water, but his ears perked up as he awaited Katherine's reply.

However, Katherine was worried about his body, so she firmly declined. "Let's skip the meet-ups. Perhaps next time, if possible. We don't have anything else to do, so we'll be returning to Hovington tomorrow."

Joaquin seemed indifferent, but his gaze darkened a little.
