The Wrong Woman Chapter 860
Candice couldn't shake the memory of the breakfast Elio had prepared personally, a gentle warmth still lingering within her. Mervyn scoffed, "Not only is he utterly useless, but he also wears that deadpan expression, like the world is against him or something. His face, all cold and sour!" Grumbling, Candice interjected, "Merv, can you stop criticizing him?" "Are you bothered?" Mervyn inquired. "No," Candice replied, her insincerity peeking through. With a faint smile, Mervyn stated, "I can tell you're bothered. Give me your address, I'll come pick you up. I'll treat you to some delicious food and bring you around." "But I'm not done with work yet.""What kind of nonsense job is this? Forget about it, I'll take care of you." Candice smiled wryly and responded, "I can handle myself, thanks for the offer." Before she could finish, the office door swung open, and Elio emerged, his expression sour. Feeling flustered, Candice assumed Elio was upset because she'd left th

Candice studied Elio with a furrowed brow, perplexed by the bitterness in his tone.Had she misinterpreted something?Visibly disheartened, Elio met her gaze for a tense moment before abruptly exiting the car."Sean, please take her," he instructed icily before slamming the door and striding away.Candice was utterly bewildered.Following Elio's directive, Sean swiftly started the engine and executed a sharp U-turn.As the car continued along the road, Sean spoke up, "Ms. Candice, do you have an address in mind? I'll take you wherever you need to go."Candice hesitated, puzzled by Sean's question.Wasn't he supposed to take her back to the hotel to rest?Just as Candice was about to respond, her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw it was Mervyn calling.Upon picking up Mervyn's call, Candice was met with his inquiry about her work progress and dinner plans, followed by a request to meet up.After a brief exchange with Mervyn, Candice turned to Sean and politely re

With roadside parking off-limits, Sean skillfully maneuvered the car into the nearest parking lot.Equipped with a black umbrella, he splashed through the pooled water to join Elio, shielding him from the unrelenting rain.At that moment, Sean found himself at a loss for words.After all, he had been the one to bring Candice to this location.Upon returning to the banquet, Sean discovered that Elio was already outside, making his way directly to this very spot.Having stood by Elio's side for many years, Sean was intimately familiar with almost every aspect of his life.What he witnessed in Elio was a man devoid of joy, weighed down by the expectations of his parents.Every facet of Elio's existence—his career, his future, even his marriage—had been meticulously orchestrated by them.Since birth, Elio had never experienced true autonomy. He was merely a puppet shaped by the Hoffis family to inherit their fortune.For someone like Elio, who had always been drawn to Candice's ca

As Candice's mind continued to wander, her emotions weighed heavily on her.She found herself in a perpetual battle to understand Elio's intentions, her mind engulfed by thoughts of him as she attempted to unravel his innermost feelings.Unable to hold back, Candice released a deep sigh.Mervyn chuckled softly, remarking, "Look at that—our carefree Candice, sighing just like the rest of us."Snapping back to reality, Candice couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, it's strange. I don't know when it happened, but it seems I've picked up some worries too," she confessed."It sounds like a sign of growing up," Mervyn observed.With a playful pout, Candice muttered, "If growing up means having worries, I'd rather not grow up at all.""Tell me, is something at work bothering you?" Mervyn asked, keeping his eyes on the road.Candice shook her head, her mind preoccupied.Mervyn's expression darkened slightly, his tone growing more serious. "Is it about relationships, then?"At Mervyn's prob

Elio's deep voice softly pronounced her name. "Candice."Perplexed, Candice responded, "Yes?""Candice," he called out once more."I'm here, right beside you. What's wrong?" Candice replied patiently."Candice, Candice..." Elio's voice grew heavier, infused with a sense of desolation. As he continued, his eyes reddened further, his gaze gradually drifting away.Observing Elio's condition, Candice felt utterly bewildered.She had been by his side the whole time, so why was he repeatedly calling her name without providing any further explanation?Was he intoxicated?With a bitter twist to his lips, Elio struggled to speak, his words slow and labored. "Ca… Can… dice."Concern etched on her face, Candice leaned closer. Meeting his gaze, she reassured him. "I'm here." Elio stole a glance at her, offering a faint smile before reclining further back on the sofa. With his eyes closed, he murmured, "You've intruded into my dreams once more.""What?" Candice couldn't quite grasp his

Despite harboring a secret crush on Elio for many years, Candice knew deep down that a romantic relationship between them was utterly impossible.From a moral standpoint, her unrequited love was destined to remain hidden forever.Therefore, Candice never dared to entertain the hope of getting close to Elio, let alone indulge in her silly fantasies.Instead, she accepted the reality of keeping this clandestine affection buried deep within her heart for her whole life.After grappling with her emotions, Candice eventually retreated to her room. Closing the door behind her, she settled back into bed, hoping to find solace in the prospect of peaceful sleep.However, rest evaded Candice that night, her sleep was disturbed and she felt uneasy.The next morning, Elio remained trapped in the grip of his hangover, unaware of the world waking around him.Meanwhile, Candice had already gotten up and joined Sadie and Emerson, as they made their way to the event venue.The space had been me

Candice's gasp echoed through the room, her hands flying to her mouth in disbelief as she struggled to comprehend the unfolding scene.Elio's chilling presence was so overpowering that it reduced the arrogant man to trembling silence. He bowed his head in submission, too terrified to speak.Every word Elio spoke carried an icy intensity, freezing the air around them. "If you're thirsty, get your own drink. Don't expect my team to cater to your needs."The words "my team" echoed through Candice like an explosion, stirring a blend of nervousness and anticipation that hastened her heartbeat.While she understood that Elio was referring to his subordinates from headquarters as "my team", she couldn't help but feel a rush of satisfaction.Terrified and flustered, the man swiftly bowed and offered an apology. "I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Hoffis, I've made a mistake."Elio's demeanor remained icy as he turned and walked away without acknowledging Candice, leaving her bewildered.Despite El
