Chapter 0118

Candice stood outside the door for a while. Only when there was no sound of them chatting did she

push the door open and enter.

She saw the water splashed from the cup.

It was probably something Daniel did when he was angry just now.

She paused and lowered her eyes, speaking with a low voice. “Chairman, this is Aether’s market value

for the past three months.”

Daniel glanced at her, with no change to his expression. With a calm voice, he asked, “How do you feel

going to Stugan City this time?”

Candice’s expression remained the same. “Not bad.”

“I heard they need extra manpower over at Stugan City?” When Daniel said that, his eyes never left

Candice.

Candice’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes trembled.

She had always thought that, compared to Helen, Daniel would be easier to get along with.

He was unhappy only at the beginning when Alex took her home.

He simply let it be afterward.

Even when Alex wanted to force Candice into the company and Helen tried to stop him, he simply

asked Candice to sign a non–compete agreement.

From the looks of it, Daniel had already planned all of this from the very beginning.

He had already known that Candice would not marry into the Elysian household.

They all said that the only thing that the businessmen cared about was profit. Was Daniel not the best

example?

Alex taught everything Candice knew. If Daniel wanted her to leave, it would seter all her paths. She

couldn’t take anything that belonged to the Elysians.

If that was Daniel’s attitude, there was no question about Alex’s.

Candice could feel the numbness in her chest. She raised her eyes and looked at Alex sitting on the

side.

Alex seemed to have felt her looking at him. He raised his eyes and simply glanced at her for a

moment before turning away.

He cut off Daniel’s words and asked, “I heard that Resplendence is competing with the Odysseus

Group for a piece of land. Are you confident about it?”

Daniel let out a cold snort. “It’s so rare to hear you worried about Resplendence.”

Alex’s expression didn’t change as he took his cup and sipped.

+15 BONDA

Daniel also wanted to take a sip, but half the tea inside his cup had already splashed out.

He frowned, somewhat upset.

Candice reacted quickly and cleaned up the cup. She went out, made another cup, and then brought it

Daniel and Alex had Important matters to discuss. Candice went out in understanding and closed the

door

The moment she turned around, she met Sonia’s awkward eyes.

“Candice…” When Sonia saw that her expression didn’t change, she called out to her with a whisper

and wore

a docile smile on her face. “Can you telleverything about the chairman’s likes and dislikes?

She gritted her teeth before saying. “I feel like it’s not good for you to do all this, since you’re no longer

w the CEO anymore.”

Despite how she said it, she was just trying to tell Candice in another way that she and Alex were no

longer in

a relationship. She had no right to.

After going back, Kayla got close with a pile of documents. “Is the chairman gone yet?”

Candice said, “no.”

Kayla’s face was instantly filled with despair.

She had just been scolded by Alex in the morning and had to rush to change the report. Candice gave

her a

look and reminded her. “Better change those spreadsheets soon.”

However, Kayla simply looked at her, asking for her help. “Candice…”

Candice’s hands didn’t stop, however, as she cleaned up her things. She lowered her eyes and said, “I

have something else going on. Not to mention the boss won’t like this.”

Kayla, too, knew that what she was doing was improper. She said nothing and let out a sigh as she

went back

to her workstation.

Candice organized the documents that she had to submit for the few days that she wasn’t in the office,

She still had to rush to the hospital to see how her grandpa was doing.

Only when she got to the hospital did she realize Jackson was there too.

Joe was still lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip. When Jackson saw Candice cover, he

raised his

hand and greeted her.

Candice put down her purse and called out to her grandfather before turning to Jackson. “Why are you

Jackson had just sent her hthis morning.

“I didn’t chere to see your grandfather originally, but the dean has an emergency, so I’m

She averted her eyes, to not look at them.

After Joe had finished dinner, he felt so much better.

He held Candice’s arm with his thin hand and said with a strengthless voice, “Candice, I shouldn’t have

any of that.

“Your mother… She has let you down,” the old man said. Then, he couldn’t stop himself from

remembering

what Yvonne had said on the phone that day.

He never imagined that Candice had suffered so much pain.

He held Candice’s hand and trembled as he sobbed. “I’ve let you down too. I didn’t educate her

properly.”

Seeing that her grandfather was getting emotional, Candice smiled and held his hand instead. She

softly consoled him. “No. Don’t think that. You raised me. You’re the person I love the most.”

Joe’s eyes turned red. Candice’s grandmother passed away when she was live, and he never

remarried.

He alone raised Candice.

Candice didn’t say anything, but he knew just how much she wanted her parents‘ love.

A child that grew up in an environment without love would desire love more than anyone else.

Just how much expectation did Candice have for Yvonne?

In the end, Yvonne stabbed a knife into Candice’s heart. And he had unknowingly becan

The old man was feeling upset and refused to let go of Candice’s hand. “She toldeverything! She’s

such a

fool!”

When Candice heard what he said, her heart skipped a beat as she frowned.

After a while, she said, “Don’t think too much about it. I’ll handle It.”

Candice finally stood up and left after she got her grandfather to bed and adjusted his bed.

The conversation between them was not suitable for an outsider to hear. When her grandfather’s eyes

turned red, Jackson had already led the nurse out of the ward.

When Candice cout, he gently asked, “Are you alright?”

Candice nodded. “I’m fine.”

While she said that, her expression was gloomy, and her face was pale.
