"One million five hundred thousand?" Alex's tone revealed nothing, but the apparent disdain in his eyes was evident. He looked arrogantly at Ivor for a while, then nodded slowly. "Sure. I'll give it to you."Candice abruptly looked up, only to see Alex slightly lowering his head. His long eyelashe
After Ivor got the money, he disappeared for a few days.Lately, Candice had been thinking a lot about the money Alex had given out.Ivor and Yvonne seemed to be in it together. Candice didn't want to get involved with those two troublemakers again, so she hadn't gone looking for them.Moreover, eve
Candice looked up and flatly said, "I have no ties with them anymore. Do whatever you want."Alex scrutinized her with deep eyes, an unknown emotion brewing within them. He fiddled with the USB drive in his hand and nodded after a moment. "Alright."Candice nodded and asked, "Is there anything else
Finally, Alex let her go when she was almost out of breath.But it was only for a moment before he pulled her into another embrace.That night, Alex was wild and even suggested doing it right in the car. But Candice stopped him, and he relented.Candice was thoroughly bullied later on. Her eyes were
When Hanley burst into the room, Candice stood frozen, and her face was unnaturally pale. She maintained the posture of making a call, but her phone lay on the floor."Joe Sundance's family, please come to Silverstone Hospital as soon as possible to handle matters regarding the patient's body—" the
"Mr. Elysian—"Sawyer pushed open the office door and entered, holding a phone. He looked at Alex behind the desk and said, "It's a call from Silverstone Hospital about the public welfare medical examination activity we conducted last month. They are asking if we want to continue the next session."
Alex's expression wasn't good; he stared at Candice with a slight furrow in his brow.Her expression remained unchanged. She seemed devoid of emotions or thoughts, like a walking corpse.Even when she went in and told the police she wanted to sue Ivor, it was just a routine action. She wasn't willin
Regarding Ivor's explanation, he did this because he thought Candice might not give him money anymore. Therefore, he came up with this deceitful plan to secretly take Joe away. This way, he could continue to extort money from her.When Nadia told Candice about the situation, she couldn't help but cu
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
