Caroline also felt extremely uncomfortable.Her relationship with Candice had always been distant over the years. The initial cause was really due to family background—she had hoped for a daughter-in-law who could genuinely help the Jackson family. But her son refused to break up with Candice, and they argued and resisted, eventually getting their marriage certificate without her approval.After all this, as a mother, she felt overwhelmed with various negative emotions. No matter what, she could never come to like Candice. In the end, it had become a situation where, if Candice liked something, then Caroline lost. It was a kind of unreasonable dislike.Wasn't she the same as Clemens's Madam yesterday?Everyone is in a different position, with different identities and considerations. People are selfish, and they are indifferent. But how many truly selfless people are there in this world?At the ball, Candice had saved them. Didn't they know how kind she was deep down? But they dared no

The air was thick with an eerie, chilling silence.The atmosphere was so tense, it felt as if Candice and Alex weren’t just discussing whether to stay for dinner, but conspiring together to commit a murder and bury the body.The consequences were dire!High Sophia and Bianca instinctively looked at Charlie, then at the young man standing beside him, Rex, as though fearing that the “not yet” would turn into an immediate execution.Candice was under immense pressure—she felt like she might need an oxygen mask at any moment.Amid such a suffocating atmosphere, Alex suddenly smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling. "Alright, since Candice invited me, I’ll stay."That one sentence turned what was supposed to be a casual "Uncle Robert invited me for dinner" into something far more intimate—“the person I admire invited me to stay.”Candice felt as though she was on the verge of tears.Charli

She swallowed hard.But the more she swallowed, the stronger the urge to vomit became... She gripped her chopsticks tightly, biting her lip.No, she couldn’t!Only a few days ago, she had caused a bit of trouble in the elevator by throwing up, and now this! Kyle—a man, no less—was able to handle that, let alone Grandma, who was a loyal fan of melodramatic soap operas!If she vomited now, it would be a disaster!She absolutely, positively had to hold it in!"Candice, what's wrong?" Charlie asked, noticing her lips pressed tightly together and her face paling as she stared into space. He leaned in, gently placing his large hand on her back.Candice shook her head.The faint fragrance that came with him when he leaned closer managed to mask some of the fishy smell.She grabbed a napkin, pretending to pinch her nose. "I think it’s just the change in temperature, I’m a bit dizzy and my nose is st

Candice: "…Now?"Her grandmother’s confident expression, as if she was squeezing snails between three fingers, made her dazed.Mary took a deep breath, as if still pondering something, "Candice, you know that Grandma used to work as a maid in the Lawrence family, right? Back then, your mother also lived in the Lawrence family."Candice’s scalp tightened.Why was she suddenly mentioning the Lawrence family?Thinking back to when Mr. Lawrence had specially come to their house last time, her mother’s expression seemed full of hesitation… Her back broke out in a cold sweat as she adjusted her sitting posture."I know, yes. Mr. Lawrence came to Vanclyn last time, specifically visited our house, and even asked about you, Grandma." She responded naturally."Yes, that’s the eldest young master. To you, he’s also an important person.""…!"Candice’s heart felt as if it had been struck by an iron hammer.The blow was so heavy that her breath caught in her chest.Could it be that Mom and Mr. Law

Edward was not pleased.He struck a dramatic pose, one that screamed arrogance. "Have you ever seen such a handsome, mighty, tall, and extraordinarily charming Sticky Rice bun?"Charlie: "…Never seen a Sticky Rice bun with such thick skin."Edward rubbed his face. "You're just jealous of my unparalleled good looks.""Shut up. Your blood’s almost run dry." Charlie couldn’t bear to watch any longer and went over to undo the messy bandages.He rewrapped them properly.Edward, touched, placed his hand on Charlie's shoulder. "I knew you cared about me. Nice, very skilled hands.""Get your paws off me. You’re filthy.""You’re calling me dirty? Do you believe I—" Edward raised his blood-stained hand, aiming it toward Charlie's pristine face.Candice walked out holding a bottle of water.Her heart was in turmoil. She entered the living room, only to be struck by the warm, intimate scene unfolding on the couch. It was so… *dramatic*.Damn the CP vibes!She knew they were straight. She knew it,
