"You're alone outside"

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 out, but he didn't wait for Ruby.

Ruby hurried to catch up with him. She was glad Seth agreed to take her home. His discontent disappeared instantly.

They sat in the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Ruby was excited and her heart was pounding. In the last five years, they had seen very little of each other. Although they were engaged, she had never been in Seth's car.

As his fiancée, she was a little hurt. But she didn't care. How many women were dreaming of being in your place? And marrying Seth was also her childhood dream!

Seth asked: "Since when do you have a sister?"

Why didn't the Flaming family tell him? How much were they hiding from him?

Ruby froze. It was the first time Seth took the initiative to talk to her. But I was asking about…

¡Candace!

Gathering his thoughts, he said carefully: "We adopted her when she was ten years old. The main reason was that my parents wanted her to keep me company. Secondly, they felt sorry for the orphans... My parents treated her like their own daughter, but she..."

Ruby glanced at Seth. I had no idea if I believed him or not. But Seth just frowned.

Then he continued: "He grew up with bad behavior, not only stealing but also lying. She was rebellious as a teenager and liked to go out and have fun, but my father never gave up on her. He sent her abroad for higher education and gave her the best life...

Ruby had a worried tone as she tried to negatively label Candace.

Seth was silent. Ruby didn't know what she was thinking.

So he stopped talking, even though he really wanted to say more.

They remained silent...

Candace was waiting for the result when she returned from the hospital. I just wanted to identify who Daisy's father was.

Two days later, the results came in: "Galileo was not Daisy's father."

Upon receiving the call, Candace was stunned. "So, who was that man? Why did Ruby lie to him?"

He tried to review the hotel's surveillance videos five years ago, but they had already been deleted. Someone had done it deliberately, and there was no way to find out who it was.

"How could I find out who Daisy's father was...? Also, Daisy's illness..."

He had no evidence, and he couldn't question Ruby or her mother.

At that moment, the video call arrived.

As usual, Candace did her daily video call with Daisy. But, that time I was distracted.

In the video, Daisy was lying in bed wearing furry rabbit pajamas. The pink and tender ears covered her small head. Nolan was sitting next to Daisy, touching his hair.

"Uncle Nolan, I'm a boy. Why are you buying me girl's pajamas?" Daisy curled his lips and looked displeased.

Nolan pinched Daisy's nose and said, Of course I know you're a boy. Wearing these pajamas, you would look cute."

"Although I am handsome and look good in everything... These children's pajamas don't really match my cool face"

"Daisy said as he raised his head."

Nolan rubbed his forehead and said, "How about you ask your mom if you look good or not?"

Daisy immediately turned sweet and asked: "Mommy, mommy! Do you think the new pajamas Uncle Nolan bought me look good?"

Candace didn't listen to his talk too carefully. It was only when she heard Daisy calling her that she came back to earth.

She smiled: "It's very pretty. Everything looks good on you."

Nolan noticed that Candace was distracted and said to Daisy: "See? I didn't lie to you. Well, it's time to go to sleep. I'm going to talk to your mom."

Daisy agreed as if he was saying "I know, I know."

He realized that his mother was not in a good mood. But adult things have to be handled by adults, and it was time for Uncle Nolan to behave.

Daisy whispered: "Uncle Nolan, maybe my mom missed you."

Nolan blushed. He tucked Daisy in and walked away with his phone.

"Candace, what happened?" Nolan asked with concern.

Seeing that Daisy was not there, Candace frowned and said:

"Galileo was not his father. I don't know who it is"

"Don't worry, we can find it". Nolan was a warm person, and his words made others feel relieved.

He wasn't about to find out about Daisy's father. But he knew how important he was to Candace. Also, Daisy's illness...

Candace knew that Ruby must know who Daisy's father was.

But Ruby had been hiding it, so she wouldn't tell him the tRuby. I had to find another way.

"Nolan, I'm not coming back for a while. Please take care of him. I'll pick it up in a few days."

Nolan nodded and said," Candace, please know this for sure. I'll take care of him".

Candace wanted to express her gratitude, but she had already thanked him countless times.

She also nodded. She considered Nolan her heart family.

"Come to me if you're in trouble," Nolan said.

"Alright."

As soon as Candace hung up the phone, an unknown number called.

Candace was confused. She just returned. No one should know his number...

He hung up several times, but the caller kept calling persistently.

She received the call "hello?"

"Candace, today is our grandmother's birthday. I called to ask you to come back to the Flaming residence for dinner tonight."

Is Ruby.

With the power of the Flaming family, it was now easy to find his number.

Candace reflected. The Flaming family couldn't have been kind enough to invite her to dinner. It was obvious that it was a trap. For the past eight years, the Flaming family members had been like demons, taking advantage of her. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a strong

But, she hadn't found Daisy's father. He would have to meet with them sooner or later.

A few seconds later, Candace said: "Good."

Ruby laughed and urged: Remember to come-then hung up the phone.

As soon as Ruby hung up, a fierce flash crossed her eyes: "Mom, the dog is so lucky she wasn't murdered five years ago. But since she dared to come back, we must not let her go this time."

Wanda was at his side, elegant and poised. She said, "Well, we could have just handled it before, so do it now." She was just a pushover.

Ruby leaned back into Wanda's arms and her mouth twisted into an evil smile. With his mother, nothing could be a problem.

At night.

Candace put on light makeup and set out.

Back at the Flaming House, he saw the familiar building again.

In the villa, which looked beautiful and extravagant from the outside, there was very little space for her. He had to sleep with the servants. Even when she was not obedient, she was locked in the dark, damp attic.

One time, she tried to escape and got out a few times, but the Flaming family always had a way to catch her. When that happened she was mistreated, and gradually, she stopped fighting.

But at this moment, she was not afraid. Five years had passed, she had changed a lot and she was no longer that fragile girl.

Entering the living room, the Flaming family exuded a lively atmosphere. It was Mrs. Flaming's 80th birthday, and everyone was very happy.

As Mrs. Flaming did not like to be crowded, no one from outside was summoned. It was a simple family dinner.

But all the members of the Flaming family were there.

Candace looked at Mrs. Flaming in the wheelchair. She seemed like a kind old lady and was usually the only one who made Candace feel warm in the Flaming family.

In the past, when she was bullied, Mrs. Flaming helped her, protected her. At least, she was not like others, who harassed her with cruel words. So Candace was grateful to him.

But one day, he overheard Mrs. Flaming talking to Wanda: "Don't kill her. Ruby has been in poor health since she was a child, and her blood type is extremely rare. Ruby has to trust her."

From then on, Candace knew that Mrs. Flaming helped her only because she was useful.

Candace's mouth twisted into a sneer. She would get it back.

Nobody spoke to Candace. Ruby told them that Candace had narrowly escaped death and survived, but had stayed away instead of returning home.

Mrs. Flaming turned the wheelchair toward Candace and smiled at her: "Candace, since you're back, please stay home. You're alone outside."

Someone who didn't know could think that her grandmother loved her very much. But the person who had hurt her the most was Mrs. Flaming. The person who had sheltered her hurt her more than those who had been mistreating her all the time.

The most terrible thing is to hurt feelings before killing.
