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 and handed it back.
"One other thing...when I left Mr. Castle's room, I saw the lady from last night go to see him" Lucas said after some hesitation.
"Interesting. What happened to the information I asked you for?" Seth asked intrigued.
"I looked into it. The Flaming family did some business with Mr. Castle six years ago. Apparently the man did some shady dealings in the past," Lucas hinted.
"Well, do you know who the woman in the contract is?"
"She's a girl the Flaming family searched for a long time and spent a lot of money on. But now she lives abroad with her husband and children", Lucas added.
After saying that, Lucas paused a little and sighed, "Mr. Ricaurte, I also found out that the Flaming family did a couple of nefarious things in the past, they seem to have taken refuge in the company of their family.
"I understand," Seth said with a frown.
Lucas couldn't understand what was going through Seth's mind at the moment. Even though Ruby was Seth's fiancée, he was used to giving the Flaming a lot of trust.
However, Seth never showed any interest in Ruby; in fact, their engagement was just social etiquette that never materialised.
After a moment of silence, Seth sighed deeply, "I need you to keep an eye on the Flaming."
Attending, Lucas seemed to understand what Seth was thinking.
"What else about that woman last night?" -Seth asked.
"No record of her could be found. It seems that someone is hiding her identity. All we know is that she arrived in town yesterday and her name is Candace."
Upon hearing that name, Seth immediately began to search his memory for her. "Candace, Candace," he repeated over and over in faint murmurs.
Almost 10 years ago, he met a girl named Candace. In fact, it was her first time at Flaming Manor, the girl was locked in the basement with hunger and her body battered.
At the time she said nothing. With her blank stare and exhausted body, he could understand her pleas. Quickly Seth gave her something to drink and handed her a chocolate he carried in his pocket....
It was only after she had eaten that the girl finally came to her senses.
"Who are you?" Seth asked
"Candace" the little girl replied with chapped lips and bright, glassy eyes.
Hearing her, Seth's heart broke and he quickly forced the Flaming to release her. After that, Seth returned to the mansion a couple of times, but never saw little Candace again.
At that instant, Seth opened his eyes and stopped remembering. He quickly got up from the couch and, without a word, left the room.
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 answeredIt 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 Mom's going to 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

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
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
