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
Candice's words were directed at Alex as she probed him.However, Alex remained calm, just lifting his eyes slightly as he asked, "Is that so?""Do you know who it is?" she pressed.The person who could get Quil to defend Sonia and make her say such things must have a high status and position.Candi
Before Candice could react, the others had noticed Yana and had already come over."I…" Yana was about to speak again, but Candice pushed through the crowd and went downstairs directly without a word.For a few seconds, her mind was blank, but now she was clear-headed.Hanley acted quickly and immed
Hanley let out a soft sigh and dropped his smile.The others had gone in different directions upon exiting the hospital, leaving only the two of them in the entire villa.Hanley lowered his gaze to look at Candice, a flicker of pity passing through his eyes. He spoke gently, "Don't worry too much. T
Candice felt hands grasp her waist, and the next moment she was swiftly pulled aside, narrowly avoiding a collision with Tina.Her back slammed into Alex's warm chest, and she let out a muffled sound as she steadied herself.Alex's voice was gentle. "Be careful."His hand remained around Candice's w
They returned to the hotel in silence. The matter on Jensen's side could be considered a success. The outcome was not something they could control anyway, so Candice felt a sigh of relief in her heart.As soon as she got in the car, she closed her eyes to rest. The consequence of not sleeping well a
Tina's gaze was innocent. Her voice rang out clearly and sharply, reaching everyone present.Candice hesitated briefly. She wondered if she should clarify to Tina that Alex wasn't actually her boyfriend. Later, considering Tina's young age, Candice decided it might be too serious of a topic to discu
Sonia's tone dripped with provocation as she no longer bothered to conceal her disdain for Candice. With a sneer, she taunted, "You'd better start thinking about how you're going to apologize to me later."After her provocation, she walked away.Sonia had clearly made an effort with her appearance,
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'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

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
