The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 819:

A wave of relief washed over Corey. Alicia’s enhanced abilities made it unlikely that Caden could forcefully take her away. For now, Corey found it hard to release Alicia. Machines could be updated or replaced every few years, but Alicia’s body was a continuous source of new blood. Maintaining her close was his surest safeguard.

Soon, three months passed. The winter in Warrington persisted into March, and though the snowfall had ceased, the cold lingered. Traveling to Greenland, Alicia and Corey were together on the flight.

Alicia broached a financial issue, saying, “Finance reported an unaccounted expenditure of two hundred million last week. You didn’t inform me about it.”

“What was the purpose?”

Corey, after taking a sip of water, asked, “Why are you auditing me now?”

“It’s two hundred million, not just two hundred,” Alicia replied. She typically overlooked smaller sums but demanded explanations for larger expenditures.
