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

After Harley left, Candice turned to Alex and asked, "What brings you here?"Alex looked down slightly and replied, "I think Ms. Zott's case is worth paying attention to."He seemed casual, almost like he didn't think it was a big deal.Candice was about to ask more when several people in white coat

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

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
