The day was nearly noon, and the gentle warmth of the autumn sun felt comforting to Candice.Despite her inner unease, she countered Alex's suspicions, questioning, "What exactly are you suspecting? Sonia told you that I arranged a meeting with Xavier to seek revenge on Aether Corporation?"With a c
Daniel's demeanor was commanding and forceful, while Alex remained impassive as he ended the call with a curt "understood".Shawn raised an eyebrow, asking, "Your father?"Alex offered no confirmation or denial.Shawn scoffed, remarking, "He certainly knows how to put on airs. Am I dead to him?"Ale
"Why?" wondered Candice."The Solaris summit is happening ahead of schedule this year. Actually, it's precisely next week. There are plenty of learning opportunities available if you attend," Hanley responded.Hanley's visage clouded as he added, "Since Shaun departed from the company, there hasn't
Perhaps it was because Candice had gradually adapted to some reactions recently, it wasn't as uncomfortable as it had been at the beginning.However, when she had waited in the downstairs airport hall just now, she had felt a suffocating sensation due to the crowd. It was as if she couldn't breathe
Alex's words were direct, and the car fell silent instantly. Candice's eyelashes trembled, and she suppressed her thoughts, responding, "Why are you asking about this?"Alex's dark eyes stared at her intensely, as if he could see through her.His tone was calm. "Just answer me."Candice refused; sh
Her gaze was fixed on Sawyer.However, Sawyer didn't answer. He remembered the moment in the elevator when Darius said he wanted to meet Candice, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.He subconsciously looked at Alex beside him. "Mr. Elysian..."Alex's gaze flickered for a moment, then
Dressed in well-tailored trousers, his long legs encased, a deep red tie accentuating his chest, and a charcoal gray suit exuding an air of nobility in every move, Alex entered slowly under the guidance of the staff.His gaze faintly scanned downward before precisely landing on Candice. Candice met
After realizing this, Candice felt somewhat relieved, but she still felt somewhat unwilling to share a car with Alex.Just as Candice was about to speak, Yondu urged her in a low voice, "Hurry and get in the car, everyone else has already left."Candice said, "I'll take a taxi by myself. It's not co
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
