Chapter 1046 Know Your Limits

Frieda soon conveyed Aubree’s message to Cory. Initially, Aubree thought that the deal could be done via the

internet. After all, Lucian’s men were still monitoring Cory.

However, when the day of the transaction came, Aubree found herself ill at ease. If she did not watch him with her

own two eyes, how was she going to make sure that Cory really deleted the photos?

With that thought in mind, Aubree paused in her motions and uttered to Frieda, “Tell Cory that I’m going to watch

him delete those photos myself.” Frieda stiffened. “But we might get exposed for this…”

Tamping down the feelings of displeasure in her heart, Aubree said with as much patience as she could summon, “If

I don’t do this, who knows if Cory’s going to lie to us?”

Frieda did not agree with Aubree, but she still told Cory about Aubree’s intention. Naturally, Cory was not interested

in meeting Aubree in person.

Nevertheless, ten million was too great of a temptation for him to resist. After a moment of contemplation, Cory

sent an address to Frieda. That was where they were going to meet.

Frieda agreed to it. The next morning, Frieda drove Aubree to the location. The place was at an unfinished building,

which was also the place Cory had prepared for himself to go into hiding.

He never thought he would end up using it for this. When the two women arrived, Cory was already waiting in the

unfinished building.

“Hand me the money, and I’ll delete the photos,” Cory said as he lazily waved the camera at them when he saw the

two women. That must be the camera he used to take pictures of me!

Aubree gritted her teeth and hissed, “I’ll transfer half first. Once you delete the photos, I’ll transfer the other half.”

Cory readily agreed to it before gesturing for her to transfer the first half.

As a private investigator, Cory was a well-prepared man. He had even prepared an account for Aubree to transfer

the money to.

In no time, Aubree transferred five million to him. Then, Cory deleted the photos while she watched him.

After that, he showed her the camera to let her make sure that no photos were left.

It was only then Aubree transferred the other five million to him resentfully.

“I never thought you’d be someone like this!”

Cory raised a brow at that. “Of course, people like us who are in illegal dealings have to keep an ace up our sleeves.

What are we going to do if our client runs off without paying?”

Aubree growled out, “You’d better have deleted everything, or else I’m never going to let you off the hook!”

“Don’t worry. I’m a man of my word as long as you pay up.” Cory curled his lips. “Also, thanks to you, we’re now in

the same boat. I’m not that stupid to pull a dumb move like that.”

He was speaking the truth.

If not for Aubree’s cruelty in laying a finger on the three children while spying on Roxanne, Lucian would not have

tracked Cory down.

They were now in the same hot water.

If Lucian found any concrete proof against one of them, the other would not be able to escape unscathed.

The realization of that only irked Aubree even more.

After all, why would she want to work with someone who might stab her in the back at any time?

Still, she had to cooperate with Cory.

As Cory walked past them to leave, he reminded Aubree, “As long as you know your limits and do not enrage Mr.

Farwell again, you might be able to keep what happened a secret. But if you…”
