As the night crept in, the conference hall emptied out. Barox and Candice ascended the stairs in a quiet, almost eerie atmosphere, their footsteps echoing softly.Walking alongside Candice, Barox remarked casually, "He seems cold, doesn't he?"Candice glanced at him, asking, "Who?""I'm talking abou
Suppressing his unease, Sawyer addressed Alex, "Mr. Elysian, what's the plan regarding Ms. Summers?"He understood why Alex hadn't taken action against Sonia for so long.Previously, Horizon Holdings had targeted Sonia and manipulated her to steal confidential information, causing significant harm t
Throughout the morning, Alex remained in the conference hall, yet Candice acted as though he were invisible.While others enjoyed the aromatic coffee Alex had provided, Candice immersed herself in her files.Even the oblivious Angela couldn't ignore the tension. She asked curiously, "What's going on
Candice glanced at Alex, hoping to discern some emotion in his eyes, especially after hearing the police's remarks.Yet, Alex's expression remained unchanged. He met Candice's gaze, appearing calm as if the situation didn't concern him.Candice's lips twitched slightly as she broke the silence, aski
His words were one of suggestive remarks; though his tone was stiff, the underlying tone gave off the vibes.Candice paused for a moment and jokingly remarked, "Don't pick up all your habits from Yana."Barox's face remained blank as he responded, "It's just a logical guess. I can't think of anyone
Sonia no longer hid her malice when she faced Candice. She couldn't stand to see Candice doing well, nor could she tolerate Candice's haughty demeanor. She was determined to bring her down, making sure she couldn't make a comeback.Sonia's gaze was vindictive, but Candice remained calm as she quietl
Sonia gazed at Alex as she spoke with a softened tone; it was a complete contrast to her attitude in front of Candice. Her eyes were teary as she cautiously probed, "Lex, shall we talk outside? I know a nice coffee place nearby."Sawyer furrowed his brow slightly while sizing up Sonia. Their relatio
A deep magnetic voice sounded behind her. "Be careful." Alex, with one hand around Candice’s shoulder, guided her slightly backward. It was only then that Candice realized that, amidst the struggle, Henry had steered her toward a small step, and right in front of her was a gap.If she missed a step
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
