Hanley hummed in acknowledgment and suddenly asked Candice, “Do you like Van Gogh?”
Candice was taken aback. “I like his sunflowers.”
“What about Monet?”
While standing at the door, Hanley engaged in a random conversation with Candice, jumping from
artists to philosophers to current celebrities.
Candice gradually calmed down while she was in this seemingly irrelevant dialogue. She changed into
fresh clothes and picked up her suitcase. Then, she opened the door and handed Hanley his
coat back.
Instead of taking the coat, Hanley took the suitcase from her. “Hold on to it for a bit.”
They return to the villa. As they left, Candice saw that someone had painted words on her door in
red.

Nadia held her hand and comforted her, “It’s probably a case of mistaken identity. It’s okay. Candice.
Once you’re settled, you can sleep with me.”

strangely familiar with the police station lately, as she had visited several times.

She smiled at Helen and said, “What a rare sight. It’s not easy to get you to chere. I’ve called you
before, but you never came. I heard you were hospitalized recently?”
Helen was obviously in a bad mood. “Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news does.”
Jessica raised an eyebrow and didn’t respond to her comment. Instead, she changed the topic.
“Weren’t you looking for Alex’s future wife? Have you found anyone to your liking?”

Jessica was well aware of Helen’s temperament, so she smiled and said, “Are you angry with
Daniel again? Remember what you toldback then? Marrying someone capable is better than
marrying someone who’s just a freeloader.”
“It might have been better if I had married a freeloader.” A hint of complex emotions flashes in
Helen’s eyes. After a while, she added. “It probably would have been better than living a chaotic
life like this now.”
“Forget about Daniel. I don’t care what he does in his life anymore. Alex is also makingso

Jessica quickly interrupted, “I just called Alex over. After all, I’m his godmother.”
