Candace stared at the nurse, who was conducting an examination, still feeling worried.
Suddenly, an international call came in.
Seeing that the call was from "Baby", Candace rushed into the hallway and answered.
It was nighttime in the Capital. But Daisy had not yet fallen asleep. Knowing this, Candace couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"My love, do you miss Mommy so much that you can't fall asleep?" Candace felt anxious and guilty as well.
In the past, she had cuddled Daisy to sleep every day.
On the phone, Daisy snorted and said stiffly, "Hey, it's impossible. I'm just worried that Mom will miss me too much.
Candace felt a little weird about that. She found that Daisy liked to say things that didn't make a lot of sense. She wondered who she sounded like.
"Well, I certainly miss you a lot.... You must behave yourself. It's getting late. You'd better get to bed soon"
Daisy was satisfied, with a grunt and in the tone of a young adult, replied, "Mommy should be good too. Then give me a kiss. And I'm going to sleep"
Candace laughed involuntarily as she thought of Daisy's expression at that moment.
"All right, my love. Mwah, mwah"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Candace didn't hang up until Daisy fell asleep.
It would be great if Daisy hadn't gotten sick. She was a smart, sensible, charming kid.
Candace waslost in thought, completely unaware that a man was standing behind her....
Seth's face turned blue and was already clouded with weirdness.
"My love?" What a flighty bar girl...".
He went downstairs to look for her because he mistook her for "Candace".
Thinking about all this, Seth offered her a cold smile.
"Isn't your "love," Mr. Castle, in the room? Could it be that... he has many more loves?"
Candace was surprised, she turned around. Her phone fell, and luckily it was caught by Seth.
"Mr. Seth, why are you here?"
Candace, flustered, reached out to grab the phone.
This man walks in silence, she didn't know how much she had heard.
Seth did not comply with her wish. He just held the phone above his head. At six feet tall, Candace reached his shoulder, she was five foot six.
Candace couldn't reach the phone. So she looked a little angry and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Seth found the angry woman very interesting. He couldn't help but tease her.
Seeing that the reserved Mr. Seth had so little interest, Candace immediately had other ideas.
Candace bit her lip with her hands on Ricauter's shoulders. She said in a sweet, charming voice: "Mr. Ricauter, I have many loves. Will you be my love?"
She played with her loose hair with her other forefinger. She looked like a seductive sprite.
Seth snorted. To deal with such a shameless woman, he had to be more shameless than she was.
Seth felt himself stiffen as he looked at this woman. He knew she was a flirtatious woman. He shouldn't have wasted his time with her!
At that moment, a nurse walked by and gave him a look.
Her eyes seemed to say, "What a sassy woman!"
Seth held back his emotions and hurriedly tossed the phone to the woman. Then he walked away.
Actually, Candace was not as calm as she looked. Thank God, the man was gone. Or he would become a problem.
Seeing the man defeated, Candace good-naturedly patted her dress.
Keeping her emotions in check, Candace went outside.
She saw a woman standing next to Ricauter.
"She was... Ruby?"
Ruby was standing next to Seth with a happy, shy look on her face. She held Seth's arm confidently. While the man stood still showing no emotion.
Candace hadn't seen Ruby for five years. She was still a highly esteemed member of the Flaming family, and loved by them since she was a child. Her engagement party with Seth five years earlier had been a sensation at home and abroad.
Those who passed by were casting envious glances at them.
Someone was whispering: They are meant for each other, what a beautiful couple!
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman... "
Hearing those words, Ruby was so pleased that her eyes were full of joy.
She could not see Seth often. But she heard that he had gone to see his grandfather in the hospital, so she hurried over.
Seth still looked cool and respectable.
"What's wrong?" Ricauter asked coldly. He stepped back and held out his arm.
He hated it when she touched him, except for once five years earlier.
Ruby's smile froze. She pulled her hand back awkwardly and kept her composure.
She replied in a soft voice: Ricauter, I want to invite you to the family dinner at the Flaming House. Grandma's birthday is in three days.
It had been a month since she had seen Seth and he had never taken the initiative to contact her. The man in front of her was cold in nature and his mind was truly elusive.
"Okay" Seth was still cold.
The Flaming family was known to Mr. Ricauter, so he would be attending the dinner.
But Ruby didn't know that. She just thought Seth agreed for her. She was so happy.
One way or another, she was going to take their relationship a step further this time.
Ruby was happy, planning in her mind, but her pupils widened and her body trembled impulsively at the sight of Candace.
Candace noticed the change in Ruby. But she just smiled. A bright, pretty, flirtatious smile.
Ruby looked like she'd seen a ghost, her face full of disbelief. She thought Candace had died five years before.
But Ruby would never have mistaken the woman who had been beautiful since she was a child and drove her crazy with jealousy. She always found reasons to keep Candace at home, never letting others see her. But now Candace had become enchanting. Her every smile was mesmerising.
Ruby turned her head quickly, looked away and pretended not to see Candace.
Candace scoffed, "You're pretending you don't know me? Interesting!"
Candace walked towards her slowly and stood near Ruby. Smiling, Candace said in a gentle, charming voice.
"Ruby, long time no see" there was a hint of contempt in her voice.
Seth was confused. He looked at Candace.
Ruby really wanted to ignore her or ask her why she didn't die. But she had to hold back her confusion and anger because Seth was here.
"Candace, why didn't you call me when you got back? How have you been all these years? You've been alone abroad. But you always have to come home, even if you long for the outside world.
Ruby pretended to be a good sister.
Candace scoffed. Only she knew that this gentle woman was wild and spoiled in private. Besides, Ruby took great pleasure in making her look bad, to show her own kindness and generosity by putting her down.
"Thank you for your concern. I've been away from home just fine" Candace replied.
She looked at Seth and smiled: "Ruby, this is..."
Ruby wasn't happy, but she calmed down and raised her head proudly.
"Ricauter, this is Candace, my parents' adopted daughter. They adopted her because they were afraid I'd be lonely.
Then he looked at Candace and said shyly: This is my fiancé, Seth his eyes were full of arrogance and glee.
Candace smiled charmingly: "Hello. They make a good couple.
But Seth frowned at the word "couple."An inexplicable irritation washed over him!Seeing that Seth was staring at Candace, Ruby was disgusted. He even saw Candace wink at him. Candace's eyes were so attractive!Ruby ground her teeth. I really didn't want to see them ogling each other. So he asked Seth: "Seth, can you take me home later? I don't have the car today.Seth nodded slightly.""Candace, are you coming to the hospital because you are sick? How about we take you?"Ruby pretended to be kind, but she was warning him something with her eyes.Candace knew Ruby was going to be angry. After all, she winked at her fiancé!Candace didn't want to waste time with her, so she said: “No, thank you. Let's catch up another time.”He emphasized "catching up.” smiled a little and left.Ruby looked relieved.Seth was staring at Candace's back. He had inexplicable emotions in his black eyes. It wasn't until he could no longer see her silhouette that he withdrew his eyes."Come on," Seth walked
Candace hadn't had time to open her mouth.Robert shouted: "Are you deaf?""Where have you been all these years? If you're alive, why don't you go home?"Candace looked at him. In his mind, he was of the same ilk as Ruby and Fanny."I survived. Of course, I will enjoy my happy life. Do I have to come back and be used by you and then silenced?"Candace said in a gentle voice.Robert slapped the table and stood up: "What nonsense, he said, you are the adopted daughter of our family, so you have to do everything for us."Candace scoffed and asked: "Am I really your adopted daughter? I'm afraid the adoption certificate has been lost."He knew she hadn't even been registered at home.It was a supposed daughter. But in reality, they adopted her in order to cover up their guilt and maintain their style of a big family."You... Robert was going to advocate for her."Fanny was afraid that things would come to light. He had told everyone that Candace had died in an accident.She rushed over and
Ruby felt a little pain in her heart. With everything and Disappointed, she sat next to Seth, consoling herself that he just had a bad temper and wasn't good at expressing himself.There was no seat next to Ruby, so Candace sat across from them.Robert kept trying to talk to Seth; "He congratulated him very much for such a good opportunity, he wanted to win the recent big project. Not everyone could engage in their conversation, so naturally, they avoided speaking."Seth listened in silence, without any response.He looked up and saw that Candace was eating.He saw that woman when he entered. Previously, he had noticed that she was not as charming and that the Flaming family did not seem to like her. But she looked calm, and the beauty of her body gave her an air of mystery. This gave Seth an unfamiliar feeling.Candace also noticed the man's gaze, she felt uncomfortable. He swallowed unconsciously and pretended to grab the glass of water to take a drink.Noticing that Seth wasn't int
In fact, Candace wasn't sure, she didn't know if Seth would be angry. But when he thought about Ruby's frustrated look, he felt good.If Seth got mad, Jella would never admit it!But unexpectedly, Seth didn't respond or expose her, which made Candace act bolder.On the table, everyone was pretending to be harmonious, but below it, a pair of small feet wrapped around the man's sturdy legs, rubbing and caressing...An inexplicable ambiguity...Ruby looked into Candace's lovely eyes staring at Seth several times; I was very angry.«Little bitch. Since you like to seduce them, today I will send you to another man's bed.He looked at Fanny immediately.Ruby took the wine that Fanny offered her, poured two glasses separately and then passed one to Candace saying: "Sister, I wish you have a happy life with your boyfriend. Health.True, Candace. "Don't let Ruby down," Fanny said immediately.After hearing his words, Candace naturally understood that there was a problem with the wine. But that
In the presidential suite, Candace Flaming felt a stabbing pain in her body, which spread to her arms and legs. In the darkness of the room, she finally regained her senses and came back to reality.Looking around, Candace realized that something was wrong. Just a few minutes ago she had been at a party with her older sister, but now... she was in an extra room.Without moving, Candace suddenly felt a sort of grip on her waist. Looking down, she panicked and tried to break free. Unfortunately her effort was futile.The slender and strong arms held her like a trophy. Soon the pain in her body was fruitless and prevented her from continuing her struggle with the man lying behind her."No, let me go! Let me go!"However, the man, who had been abstinent for many years, transformed himself into a ferocious wolf ready to devour her completely. With his strength and hunger, the delicate girl lay beneath him as heaving breaths flooded the room.Soon the minutes ticked by and Candace felt like
Either way, Candace was willing to learn the truth from Galileo's mouth. "I know what I must do. Don't worry," Candace said with a frown. In fact, if this man was Daisy's father, she was willing to pay him anything to help little Daisy. With that in mind, she hung up the call and left. It was nighttime, and Candace was taken to a bar known throughout the city, Lucky Fortes. She was dressed in a dull grey dress that fit her curves perfectly, yet her elegance was not lost on the vulgar. As she entered the bar, she could hear the obscene comments of the men around her, yet she decided to ignore them. She had only one thing on her mind. Soon she reached the bar and ordered a bottle of champagne. After two glasses, she smiled in a mischievous and adorable way at the same time and walked to room 43. In front of the door Candace sighed deeply and opened the door... There were a couple of people looking at her with an uncomfortable expression. Apparently something strange had happened i
Candace wasn't sure what Seth was referring to. Without a handle, she just kept smiling and looked into Seth's eyes. "Well, this one's on me Mr. Ricauter, cheers," she said. Having said that, Candace raised her hand and took a sip of champagne. In fact, with each sip, she made a sort of seductive eye contact with Seth. Soon he realised that this woman was trying to flirt, and pinching her chin he looked around. "Get out everyone" he said to everyone present. But, as Candace was about to turn to leave, he stopped her with his words, "Not you. You stay here," he added. In less than a minute everyone had cleared the room, except for Paul, who didn't know whether to leave or not, but, when he looked at Seth, Seth sneered at him and told him to leave. At that, Paul felt a little angry. Mr. Ricauter was totally out of his mind! When Candace saw Galileo leave, she was exasperated. She quickly ran to the door and from a distance shouted to Galileo, "Mr. Castle, don't go! I want to drin
Meanwhile, Candace kept walking until she finally ran into Galileo. He was in an inebriated state, staggering towards the men's room. At that, Candace looked from right to left and then followed him into the bathroom. Behind her, Paul's surprised gaze was behind a pillar watching her closely. Had that woman gone into the men's room? To Candace's good fortune, there was none other than Galileo on the men's bench, so she quickly closed the door and turned to Galileo. Soon Galileo turned around and his eyes widened as he again encountered the goddess of beauty. "God, are you coming to see me? Do you... do you want to go home with me tonight?" she said without wasting any time. After those words, Galileo adjusted his trousers and staggered over to Candace to wrap sweaty hugs around her neck. Candace's disgust overcame her willpower, however, and she quickly pulled a dagger from her purse and pressed it lightly against Galileo's waist. "Don't move. I want you to answer my questions

Galileo immediately wanted to get up from the stretcher and pounce on her, but the pain in his waist was too great. He could only stand still, while his gaze was fixed ominously on the woman who stabbed him. *** Meanwhile, in the seventh floor VIP room, a man sat on the couch beside the bed, looking at an unconscious old man lying on a gurney. Seth had gone to visit his grandfather, the man who had raised him. But, sadly, the man had suffered a stroke and was completely immobilised. Seth always thought it had all happened by accident, but they soon discovered that it had been caused intentionally. Seth hoped that one day his grandfather would wake up and the truth would come out. At the silence in the room he saw, the door to the room opened and Luke walked in with a couple of documents in his hands. "Mr. Ricaurte, here is the contract Mr. Castle signed. It's missing his signature." As Lucas spoke, Seth took the contract and flipped through it. Nodding, he signed the contract an
