Candice was in the rain. She looked up and met Alex's eye before quickly retracting her gaze. The dense raindrops fell on her, quickly drenching her.The young girl behind was in a panic, and kept asking Barox if he was in pain. Sawyer helped Barox walk over and said, "Candice, could you open the ca
Barox wasn’t joking. His ankle was sprained and his leg had just had stitches. He didn’t feel good. Sitting in a luxury car did feel really good—He hadn’t forgotten Yana’s instructions to disgust Alex either.At his words, the area noticeably quieted down. Only Barox looked calm, as if it were only
Dorrington police had called Sonia several times urging her to return to Dorrington to cooperate with the investigation. But she knew that it would be very difficult for her once she returned.Alex would not help her anymore, and Xavier even less so. As for Quentin, after knowing she had been summon
After a moment of silence, the coldness in Candice's eyes deepened. "Defamation?"She guessed that Sonia wouldn’t just admit her mistake, but she didn’t expect her to make a counterattack."Candy, you better prepare yourself. Sonia's lawyer is from Solaris and is quite famous for handling cases wher
Candice spoke each word slowly and deliberately. Based on what Jackson had told her last night, she had looked up the information herself.Lawyers like Quil weren’t just hired with money, so there must be someone helping Sonia."Do you remember the settlement agreement, the 800,000? Who do you think
Candice got up to answer the phone outside. The background noise from Sawyer's end sounded loud, probably from a business dinner.He didn’t usually call her without a reason so she asked, "Is there something you need?""Mr. Elysian has finished reviewing the materials for the modification of the Bu
Harley relaxed her stance, and Candice nodded in agreement, following her to the café."Let's hear it." Harley glanced at the time and then focused her attention on Candice.Seeing the scene, Zoe, who had been by Harley’s side all along, immediately took out a notebook and earnestly looked at Candic
Candice stood at the end of the corridor, with hardly anyone passing by. She stared at the tiles and asked, "You don't want Harley to help me with the lawsuit?"Of course.After all, she was going to sue Sonia, and it was too late for Alex to save her. How could Aether Corporation's legal team help
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
