As Josie turned, her gaze fell upon Candice. Instantly, her smile froze, and the light in her eyes dimmed.Meanwhile, Candice was surprised to find Josie lingering nearby.Her discomfort grew as she observed Josie approaching Elio—a situation that became increasingly unsettling given Josie's previous interaction with Candice.With a gentle curve of her lips, Candice greeted, "Hey, Josie."Meanwhile, Josie managed a tight smile. "I need to speak with Elio."Stealing a glance at Elio, Candice inquired, "Should I excuse myself?"Without hesitation, Elio moved forward, gently clasping Candice's hand. "It's fine, you can stay."Josie's frown deepened as she murmured, "Leo, this is a private matter.""Whatever it is, there's nothing between us that Candice can't hear," Elio affirmed, holding Candice's hand as they walked toward the office.A warmth spread through Candice as she observed their intertwined hands, her smile impossible to contain.Josie followed them into the office, t

Josie couldn't grasp Candice's rationale. "But why?" she countered.Candice remained composed as she explained, "Firstly, those items were gifted to you, so they rightfully belong to you."Secondly, aside from their monetary value, those possessions don't have a practical use. They need to be preserved and passed down to the next generation. Ultimately, they're not something I can rightfully claim."Thirdly, Elio has already given me plenty of jewelry during our engagement, which I can pass down to future generations."Josie took a deep breath, feeling as though she were on the brink of losing her sanity.It all felt completely absurd.She was left dumbfounded, utterly bewildered by Candice's innocent and straightforward outlook on life.Still, Josie's intrigue regarding Elio's feelings toward Candice persisted, especially given Candice's perceived naivety.Despite Josie's best efforts to manipulate Candice, she found herself increasingly frustrated by her inability to sway her
The Wrong Woman Chapter 927
Fearing Elio might misconstrue her words, Candice hastily explained, "Please, don't be angry. I didn't mean to criticize her, I just—"Elio promptly intervened, "I'm not angry. I'm just curious. If you think she's being deceitful, why do you still treat her with such kindness and respect?""Her actions are her own. As long as I steer clear, she won't involve me. There's no reason for me to engage in conflict and create unnecessary tension," Candice explained calmly.Elio couldn't resist tenderly stroking Candice's head, murmuring, "Your wisdom never fails to impress."Candice smiled in acknowledgment.As Elio's eyes remained fixated on her lips, his fingertips traced a delicate path against them, revealing a blend of desire and yearning in his gaze.Feeling Elio's tender caress, Candice's heart raced with anticipation.She had been looking forward to spending time with him.But whenever they found themselves alone, Elio grappled with the urge to kiss her, their moments together

At 10:00 pm, Candice was waiting in the airport lounge. She stood at the exit holding a bouquet of flowers.Not far away, Mervyn was stylishly dressed in athletic wear. He pulled a suitcase as he walked out briskly.From a distance, Candice saw him and then waved at him.Mervyn excitedly dragged his suitcase and hurried toward her. He opened his arms as he intended to embrace her.However, Candice pushed the flowers into his arms to block his hug.Mervyn frowned. He looked down at the flowers in her hands and said, "Thanks, but I'd rather have your hug than these flowers."Candice sighed resignedly and smiled. Then, she put down her hands.Mervyn came closer to hug her. As he patted her back, he muttered, "I missed you so much, Candice.""Why did you come back all of a sudden?""I got my PhD and received my certificate. The first thing I wanted to do was come back to see you because I missed you so much."Candice slowly pushed him away. She smiled as she replied, "Stop joking

Jasper felt helpless and embarrassed at Ryan's retort. He said, "Mr. Campbell, I don't mean that. I just—""Mrs. Campbell will take good care of her. Candice is drunk, so why put her through the hassle of moving around? Go, go, go. Go back home and sleep."Jasper said, "Candice is engaged now. It's inappropriate for her to stay overnight at your house."Ryan was well aware of her engagement.The sudden news had caught them off guard, which was why they had Ryan return quickly. Otherwise, his daughter-in-law would be taken away."Being engaged doesn't mean she has no freedom.""That's not what I meant, I—" Before Jasper could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted, "Just go home. Good night."With that, the door was shut.Feeling disappointed, Jasper left. As he walked, he pulled out his phone to call Elio.As the phone rang, he thought to himself, "Uncle Elio, I've done my part."Elio's groggy voice came from the phone. "It's late, what's going on?""Mervyn is back," Jasper sai

Elio asked, "Candice doesn't drink. Did you purposely get her drunk?"Mervyn sneered, "She won't drink with you, but she will with me. Besides, she's happy that I'm back."Elio clenched his fist.Mervyn continued, "Candice is the innocent type. I don't know what tactics you used to get her, but they must have been underhanded."I was already suspicious when you took her abroad last time. Elio, a twisted man like you, doesn't deserve her. I won't let her fall into your trap."Ignoring him, Elio pushed him aside and walked past him. Then, he continue his way in further into the house.Mervyn caught up to grab Elio's arm, but Elio turned and threw him off.Elio grabbed his collar and pinned him against the wall.With a chilling aura and a gaze full of menace, Elio warned, "Listen carefully. Candice is my fiancée now, so whatever relationship you had with her is in the past. From now on, keep your distance because she's mine."Mervyn said through gritted teeth, "I will tear off th
The Wrong Woman Chapter 931
The morning light flooded the balcony, filling the room with warmth.Candice slowly woke up from her sleep.As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the handsome face that had haunted her dreams throughout her youth.The man was lying on his side. He was fast asleep next to her with his face facing her.She blinked, feeling like she was dreaming. How was it possible that she would wake up to find Elio beside her?She thought she was still dreaming, so she closed her eyes to adjust. After opening her eyes again, she found that the man in front of her was real.She recalled that she was at the Campbell Residence last night. After welcoming Mervyn back and having a few drinks, she drunkenly fell asleep.Drunk?Candice suddenly realized that she had indeed gotten drunk, but why was she in Elio's bed right now? How did she end up here? Who had brought her to Elio's house?The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. She felt restless and uneasy for some re
The Wrong Woman Chapter 932
She had always been desperate to know why Elio was so eager to marry her.At that moment, Elio didn't explain. He let go of Candice then got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.Candice looked at his retreating back with disappointment.She suddenly remembered what Josie had tried to tell her before.At that time Josie wanted to tell her the truth, but she was afraid it would be bad news, so she chose not to listen.She had been waiting for Elio to tell her the reason, but it seemed Elio had his own reasons for staying silent.After getting out of bed, Candice stood barefoot on the floor and looked around for her shoes.Only then did she realize that her phone and shoes were still at the Campbell Residence.She sat back on the bed, lost in thought.Moments later, Elio came out of the bathroom after washing up. He went to the wardrobe to take out a new pair of slippers. Then, he placed them in front of Candice and knelt down to put them on for her.Candice gazed at his han

Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? 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. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

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. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

"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. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

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. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

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. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

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
