However, Sienna still mustered the courage to respond gently, "I love you too, Honey." Sienna's daughter was named Candice, a name given by Florence. Initially, Gary and his sons all vied to name the little girl, but amidst the fervor of discussion, none of their suggestions gained traction. Instead, Florence's spontaneous suggestion was accepted. Thus, she became Candice, or simply Candy. She was the darling of the family, showered with boundless love by all. From a tender age, Candice was bright, sweet-natured, and exceptionally adorable. When she started kindergarten, the entire family rallied to give her a grand enrollment ceremony. The celebration was so extravagant that it startled her teachers. Several imposing men, holding banners and gifts of flowers and lollipops, played instruments at the kindergarten gate, making a spectacular scene. Long after Candice had entered, they lingered outside, reluctant to depart. Upon inquiry, it turned out these enthusiastic famil

"Candice, something's wrong! You're not on the confirmation list!" Vanessa Yates, shifting her office chair closer, urgently whispered to Candice, "Hurry and check the email. Your name isn't there." Candice's beautiful face instantly fell. In disbelief, she grabbed her mouse and clicked open the company email. She murmured to herself, "That's impossible. I passed the three-month evaluation, and my design was selected for the next season's collection. Why isn't my name there?" Vanessa, equally perplexed, suggested, "I don't know why. You should ask the director." Candice scanned the email again. Every intern's name was listed except hers. Vanessa leaned in, frustration in her voice. "This is unfair. You've been the best performer among the interns. Why is your name missing?" Candice released the mouse and clenched her fists, her eyes welling up. It wasn't just about the job; she knew she could find work elsewhere. What stung was the excellence she had consistently shown, e

"Why aren't you going? The whole family will be there," Jasper said as he started the car and drove off. Candice remained silent. Jasper continued, coaxing softly, "Candice, how about we get your makeup done and find a lovely evening gown? Just come along to the banquet with me, alright?" Candice, with her naturally gentle disposition, found it difficult to resist her brother's request. She nodded in acquiescence. The opulent Hoffis Manor gleamed with grandeur. Crystal chandeliers cast a radiant glow over the expansive ballroom, exuding an aura of luxury and sophistication. Soft, melodic music filled the air, mingling with the chatter and laughter of the elite guests. Being the richest family in Norvania, the Hoffis family's banquet was attended predominantly by aristocrats and dignitaries. The entire Morrison family was present. Candice's uncles were huddled together, complaining to Tristan. "What spell did you cast on Candice that she insisted on working for your comp

The waiter stood still, his eyes betraying a hint of guilt. Michaela and Tristan approached, showing concern for Candice. Candice, who always addressed them as her grandparents like Jasper, quickly apologized, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry for interrupting your guests." "It's alright, dear. Go and change your clothes quickly." Candice nodded, about to leave, but not before pleading, "The waiter didn't do it on purpose, please don't blame him." The elders sighed, nodding with a smile.They couldn't help but admire her for being such a kind and sensible girl, yet so innocent that she couldn't see the darkness in people's hearts. Other guests began whispering to each other. "Who is she? A minor incident has grabbed the attention of all the men in the entire Morrison family, even the two elders from the Hoffis family are showing such concern." "She's Gary's granddaughter, the treasured gem of the Morrison family." "She's not your average person. Her mother is a famous rom

Candice slipped into a new evening gown, touched up her makeup, and glided back into the banquet hall. The ambiance inside remained lively and effervescent. Casually, she made her way to the side, and upon reaching the dining area; she selected her favorite dishes from the table. Meanwhile, Michaela and Tristan approached the stage, each holding a wine glass. With a resonating voice, Tristan began, "Thank you, esteemed guests..."Candice stole a glance at the duo on stage, observing their radiant smiles and eloquent words. These formalities and social graces were nothing new to her. As the toasts circulated, she pondered whether to indulge in dessert tonight. However, thoughts of potential weight gain and skin issues held her back. Maintaining her appearance and figure mattered, which meant carefully considering her diet. Opting against dessert, she settled for pumpkin soup instead. After Tristan's speech of pleasantries concluded, Michaela's voice filled the room. "Tonight,

On the other side of the banquet hall, Elio's face wore an unusually grim expression, his demeanor impassive despite his friends' congratulations. Even Josie approached him and murmured, "What's going on? Why didn't you tell me that we're getting engaged next month?" Elio simply raised his glass and downed it in one go. Jasper walked over, smiling. "Uncle Elio, congratulations. Josie, congratulations to you too. Should I start calling you Aunt Josie?" Josie quickly interjected, "No, don't call me that, you're making me sound old." "Uncle Elio is like a generation before us, it's unavoidable," Jasper laughed, then turned to Elio, noticing his somber expression. "Why do you look so unhappy? Who upset you?" Elio's cold gaze met Jasper's, and he uttered a single word, "You." Jasper was baffled. "How did I upset you?" At that moment, Hector's angry voice boomed, "Elio!" All eyes turned toward Hector, who was leading Candice toward Elio. Elio's gaze darkened slightly as h
The Wrong Woman Chapter 851
Elio turned away with a cold expression, leaving behind a curt remark, "Then don't address me as anything." The group stood there, bewildered, and Candice was equally perplexed. Elio's moods were always unpredictable and hard to understand. After the banquet ended, Candice followed her cousins out of the villa. As she waited by the entrance for Jasper, she heard a painful groan from a distant corner. Curious, she walked over to investigate.In a secluded area, a man in a suit was beating up a waiter. It was the same waiter who had spilled red wine on her earlier. Before she could intervene, Candice heard the waiter begging for mercy. "Please, don't hit me anymore! I'll confess. It was Josie's aunt who told me to do it! She wanted Ms. Candice to be humiliated at the banquet!" Candice was stunned. Josie's aunt? Her name was Fenna, if she remembered correctly. "Get lost," the man in the suit ordered. The waiter scrambled away in fear. Candice stood frozen, not noticing the

"Who are you?" Candice asked. The man replied respectfully, "I'm Sean Lowe, the CEO's assistant." Candice nodded in greeting. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lowe." "Ms. Candice, please come in," Sean said, opening the door for her. Candice hesitated for a few seconds, wondering why they had questioned the waiter who had accidentally dirtied her evening gown. It was such a minor incident, and even if it was intentional, it didn't really bother her. She stepped into the office. It was spacious, bright, and elegantly decorated. In front of the window walls stood a clean, impressive desk. The handsome man behind it, dressed in a sleek black suit, exuded charm as he worked intently. As soon as she saw him, Candice felt inexplicably nervous, her heart pounding erratically. Taking a deep breath, she pondered how to address him. Calling him "uncle" was out of the question. "Mr. Hoffis, you wanted to see me?" Candice approached politely. Elio was momentarily stunned. He barely glanced

I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents.

Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply.

"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured.

Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply.

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder.

In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
