Candice wrapped her arms around Elio's waist and gently stroked his back as she leaned into his embrace. She asked, "Where are we headed now? Are we not going back to Hoffis Manor?""Do you still want to go back?" Elio asked.Candice pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems irrelevant now. Your mom is fond of me, but not enough to welcome me as her daughter-in-law. She's still set on you marrying Josie."Elio held her shoulders and eased her backward. "Why bother with these futile efforts when you already understand?""I had to try. At least now I know it was a waste of time," Candice replied.Elio offered a helpless smile and kissed her forehead. "Let's head back to our place. I've had my fill of the torture of sleeping in separate rooms at my parents' house."Candice's cheeks turned pink as she nodded bashfully. Soon, they drove home together.…The abrupt departure of Candice and Elio cast a somber shadow over Hoffis Manor. With Candice's lively spirit absent, evenings

Fenna stepped forward, her voice gentle. "Leo, Candice, this is on you. Your mother is getting older and as her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be there for her? It's because you moved out and left her alone that this terrible incident happened."Elio's face clouded over, and he was ready to retort when Candice squeezed his hand, silently urging him to stay calm. She didn't want Elio confronting Fenna at the hospital.Candice had her emotions in check, but Jasper didn't. Anyone who dared to cross Candice would face his fury. He stormed up to Josie and gave her a severe reprimand. "Josie, what's gotten into you?"Josie was taken aback as Fenna watched, bewildered by his outburst.Jasper continued his tirade with his hands on his hips. "Even though Candice is engaged to Uncle Elio, she's just his partner. You, on the other hand, are Grandma's chosen future daughter-in-law. She only sees you in that role."As her daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be there to care for h

Michaela had a team of professional caregivers and rehabilitation therapists looking after her around the clock. Yet, Candice remained concerned about potential complications."Let me stay with you tonight, Michaela," Candice suggested.In a gentle tone, Michaela reassured her. "It's fine, Candice. You should head home and get some rest. I'm in good hands here."Fenna immediately nudged Josie and gave her a meaningful glance. Taking the hint, Josie said, "Mrs. Hoffis, I have tomorrow off. How about I stay over tonight instead?"Michaela glanced at Josie and pondered briefly before replying, "Sure, Josie, stay with me tonight. We have things in common."Candice pursed her lips awkwardly and stayed quiet.Growing frustrated with Michaela's behavior, which seemed increasingly out of line, Elio took Candice's hand and said, "The caregivers are here with Mom, so you don't have to spend the night at the hospital. I don't want you to wear yourself out."Candice managed a faint smile

Candice stayed quiet. The room was still.Elio switched off the lamp and drew her closer, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. His nerves wouldn't ease until they exchanged vows and became husband and wife.…The next day, Mila boarded a military helicopter bound for Phoenicia. She rushed to the hospital to visit Michaela, who had been injured.Unexpectedly, Michaela greeted Mila with a hint of dissatisfaction. "It's just a minor injury. You didn't have to rush back from work," she scolded.Deeply concerned, Mila gazed at Michaela, who was now paralyzed from her waist down. It pained her to see Michaela brush off her condition so casually. Nevertheless, Mila stayed by her side at the hospital for hours.At dinner time, Fenna arrived at the hospital carrying homemade dishes. It irked her to see Mila again. "Wanda?" she blurted out, surprised.Mila offered a faint smile, rising politely. "It's been some time, Ms. Hudson."Fenna forced a strained smile, her irritation growing as

Fenna's expression hardened visibly. Gritting her teeth, she exclaimed sharply, "Watch your words, Wanda!""What? Did I say anything inappropriate?" Mila replied nonchalantly.Fenna seethed with anger as she responded, "It's a matter of timing. I was together with Nathan after your divorce. You got involved in our relationship later.""You consider a boss-subordinate relationship being together? When will you snap out of your illusions?" Mila countered.Fenna's face twisted with anger, her fists clenched so tightly they trembled, and she gritted her teeth so hard it seemed she might shatter them.She suppressed her seething rage and said, "Elio and Josie have been together for years. They were each other's first love and were already discussing marriage. Yet, Candice swooped in and stole Josie's fiancé. How would you justify that?"Mila was left speechless. She smirked and quipped," Ms. Hudson, are you truly that oblivious, or are you simply pretending not to see the obvious?""

Elio was startled awake by a phone ringtone early in the morning. He opened his eyes to find Candice still soundly asleep in his arms. He swiftly reached over to silence the phone, his face souring as he glimpsed Mervyn's name on the caller ID.He disconnected the call and placed the phone down. Then, he softly kissed Candice on the forehead and pulled her closer, hoping to drift back to sleep.Moments later, the phone rang once more, thoroughly irritating him. Carefully shifting Candice aside, he grabbed the phone and headed to the balcony to answer it.Mervyn's voice was gentle as it came through the phone. "Good morning, Candice! Today—"Elio cut him off, his tone icy. "Candice is still asleep. What do you need?"There was a moment of silence before Mervyn's tone became distinctly different. He asked with a deep sense of annoyance, "Why are you answering her phone?""I didn't want to answer initially, so I ended the call. But you kept ringing back, so I figured it must be ur
The Wrong Woman Chapter 964
Mervyn sneered, "What's the meaning of this? Why should you bring him along?""Because he's my fiancé," Candice replied firmly.Mervyn snorted in response. "Well, things just got more intriguing!"Candice sighed softly before saying, "I've already gone over everything. I'm quite swamped at the moment. Let's reschedule for another time."Her suggestion to reschedule seemed more like a polite brush-off that was unlikely to happen. She set down her phone and headed into the walk-in closet.Inside, Elio was busy adjusting his tie. Candice approached and gently took the tie from his hands, her fingers slightly clumsy as she carefully tied it for him.Elio paused, his gentle eyes gazing intensely at her. His voice, though hoarse, carried a tender tone. "Did he have something urgent to discuss with you?"Feeling a blush rise to her cheeks, Candice answered softly, "He invited me to dinner tonight."A shadow flickered across Elio's eyes at her words.Noticing the drastic change in his

Fenna returned to Elio and Philip, offering each of them a glass of wine. It was customary for the men to socialize over drinks at the banquet.By the banquet's end, Sean noticed Elio still hadn't shown up. Worried, he went inside to search for Elio, but there was no trace of him anywhere. Unable to reach Elio by phone, Sean grew frantic and immediately called Jasper.…Half an hour later, Josie received a call. She hurried outside and spotted Fenna's car parked by the roadside. Climbing in, she was shocked to find Elio unconscious in the back seat."Aunt Fenna, what's happening?" Josie asked.As Fenna drove away, she said, "I brought him here for you. The rest is up to you."Confused, Josie replied, "I don't understand, Aunt Fenna."Fenna glared at Josie. "You fool! I'm taking you both to a hotel. Your responsibility is to watch over him. If he shows any reaction, be prepared to spend the night with him."Tomorrow morning, I'll arrange a police raid targeting illegal activitie

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
