Sonia tried to probe Candice. "Candice, did I hear it wrong?"Candice looked at Sonia with a hint of impatience. "You don’t need to be concerned about my affairs.""I'm just worried whether you encountered any trouble. After all, this is my birthday party, and I definitely want everyone to have a go
They were standing very close to each other and the faint smell of alcohol on Alex kept wafting over to Candice.It was very much like the wine Sonia had spilled on her clothes.Candice turned her face sideways, frowning. She felt pressured.Alex’s hand was still on her neck and Candice felt that pe
Candice’s expression immediately darkened. “Ivor Dawson, what are you doing here?!” she shouted.Originally blocked by caregivers and doctors, Ivor’s head whipped around at Candice’s voice.His face had several wounds, and a glint of determination could be seen in his murky eyes.The caregiver, reli
Candice didn’t know how much strength Ivor had used, but her shoulder was in excruciating pain, and that whole side of her body was weak.It was hard to imagine just how badly she would have been injured if the punch had hit her in the face as he had intended.“What are you looking at? What does it
No matter what, at least for tonight, Candice was grateful to Alex.However, after she slowly walked into the ER department, she saw him. He had a registration slip in his hand. “Do you want me to accompany you?”Candice hesitated. “How much? I’ll pay you back.”Alex scoffed. “What are you thinking
Candice had already spent twenty minutes in the emergency department when Hanley arrived.His face was serious, his brows creased with concern. "How are you feeling? Where did you get hurt?" he asked.Candice had gone to the hospital to keep Joe’s company, but she was waiting outside the emergency r
Candice’s whole body twisted from the force of Yvonne's slap. She instinctively leaned on the chair with her injured arm for support.Agony shot through Candice, and her face broke out in a cold sweat, her skin ghostly pale.The pain was so overwhelming that she struggled to breathe or speak. All sh
When Yana arrived, Candice's shoulder was feeling a bit better. The pain was still there, but she could at least move slightly.Yana was unaware of recent events. "What happened to you?" she asked, surprised.Candice explained as she helped Candice change her clothes, and Candice was grateful that s
After moving to Marina Bay Villa, Alex almost never worked overtime. Every day, he would appear at Ya Development, waiting for Candice to get off work. As for the BMW he gave Candice, it was left mostly unused.The few ladies in the company were familiar with Alex and were extremely envious of Candi
For the next few days, Candice brought lunch to Alex, even though it was all prepared by Alex.Candice found it a bit bothersome, but Alex seemed to enjoy it. It just so happened that both she and Yana had been meeting clients in the same area lately, so it was convenient to fulfill Alex's little wi
Alex mentioned someone having their eyes on him, and Candice hadn’t thought much about it at first. But later, she realized it was true when she saw a photo Kayla sent her. It showed a young, pretty woman with Sawyer, who seemed quite respectful toward her. What caught Candice's attention the most
Alex's expression was gloomy as he stared at the necklace. "What’s with this gift? She’s a kid. What if she swallows it? It's a choking hazard! Let’s return it."Candice calmly took the necklace and placed it back in the box. She said to Ellis, "We'll give it to you when you grow up."Ellis, innocen
When Sieg called Alex to invite him for a drink, Alex was shopping for Ellis’s clothes with Candice. He had several little dresses draped over one arm as he dutifully assisted Candice.Sieg's voice was loud, causing Candice to pause in her selection of clothes and turn to Alex. "If you have somethin
Candice was brought back to Alex's own home. She felt like a puppet with no thoughts of her own and could only follow Alex's lead. Her mind was blank, and her body was weighted down as if filled with lead.Alex guided her into the study. "I wasn't planning on showing you this so soon, but after try
Candice felt nothing. She asked with a stiff tone, "If I do what you say, will you stop following me around and stop targeting Hanley?"She had to admit that she had invested too much time in Alex; she was once innocent and carefree, but she was just confused now. Recalling the past, Candice felt n
Looking at the lemon candies on the table, Candice blinked in slight confusion as she looked up at Hanley.Hanley remained composed. Noticing Candice's gaze, he locked eyes with her and pursed his lips slightly when he caught the worry and guilt in her eyes.After a moment, he said, "You can tell me
Candice had always known that Alex had a sharp tongue, but she never expected him to use Hanley's mother to jab at his wound.They all knew that Hanley had gone abroad this time because his mother was not doing well.She trembled slightly, but she was unsure if it was out of anger or if she was remi
