Chapter 114

Candice’s tone was somewhat bitter.

Meanwhile, Alex’s side had slowed down. He asked her in an eased tone, “What, you’re asking me on

her

behall?”

While his tone was mocking, Candice felt a little relieved. At least Alex didn’t loan Yvonne the money.

She looked down and said, “Don’t loan her any money.”

Alex paused before he scoffed. “Where’s your filial piety? Gone?”

She let out a deep breath before saying in a low tone, “Anyway, please don’t loan any money to her.”

She didn’t want to call Yvonne anymore.

Even hearing her voice could send a chill down her spine.

That was why she had to contact Alex.

It was obvious that he cared little. He scoffed, his attitude unknown.

However, just as Candice was going to hang up, he suddenly said, “Have you forgotten? Ivor is coming

out

soon.”

Candice frowned.

A lot of things had happened in the past few days, and she forgot about Ivor.

If he came out… She remembered how Ivor acted like a thug in front of the hospital. Candice

pretended to be

calm as she said, “They’ll call the cops.”

Alex asked, “Do you think your mother will call the cops?”

Candice knew she wouldn’t without even needing to think.

Yvonne was reluctant to see lvor locked away. She would never call the cops willingly.

At first, Candice thought Peach was too young. She would become stronger as a mother. Yvonne

thought that,

for Peach’s sake, she wouldn’t allow Ivor to act out.

But only yesterday she had only realized that she had misplaced her trust all this while.

Alex seemed to be working on something else. He controlled his tone and coldly said. “I’m hanging up.”

Candice stood there and looked at the phone, slowly frowning.

Alex had just hung up when he saw Greg’s message coming in. There was only one sentence.

(Everything’s arranged.]

Alex glanced at It before tapping out of the chat and then saw Sonla’s message.

PIS RONDS

He tapped in and saw the picture that Sonia had sent him

He didn’t need Sonia’s reminder to recognize where the picture was taken just based on its

background. Alex narrowed his eyes and looked at the photo with no session on his face

He exited the chat and put his phone back into his pocket.

Then he moved forward

In the alternoon, it was still about work. Candice was organizing the information whale listening to

Hanley and the others discussing the lights.

When Ryan saw Candice busy organizing the information with her head down, he couldn’t help

sex,”

Candice, why don’t you come give it a listen? It’s not good if you keep on working with your bed

hanging the that.”

While Candice had some issues, she would never allow her emotions to be brought into her work

She waved her hand. “Just a little more.”

Hanley said, “Since there’s only a little more, just come here for a while. You want to learn about planni

right7”

Candice couldn’t say no anymore and so sat down at the coffee table.

Hanley gave her a look. “Shoot a question at any time if you don’t know anything.”

Candice nodded. She gave it a thought and asked, “You know how electronic circuitry works?

“Lights are very important during an exhibition. The atmosphere, the mood, and the meaning the exhibit

wants to show… All require lighting to further assist it.” Hanley explained and took out a draft from the

table, pointing at it and saying, “For example, the spotlight in the middle of the gallery is where the

highlight will be.”

Candice understood. She listened to them discussing the other problems up until the theme of the

exhibition.

Ryan suddenly asked, “Candice, where are you working right now?”

“Aether Corporation.”

Ryan yelped, impressed. “Aether Corporation? I didn’t expect that.”

Candice asked, “You know Aether?”

“Well, my uncle used to invest in startups as well. I heard him talk about it. The rising star from

Dorrington

City.”

Candice didn’t make a sound as she looked at the draft on the table.

Aether had been doing quite well for the past few years. In the very beginning. Aether was just a test

for Alex

set up by Daniel.

When Alex took over Aether, it was actually in a very bad condition.

Candice observed how Alex expanded it every step of the way.

However, Alex wasn’t as decisive as he was now. He was a youth that had just left his family’s

protection. Not matter how strong his background was, he would get into trouble no matter what.

However, Alex was brutal enough.

Some laughter suddenly broke Candice’s train of thoughts. She raised her eyes and saw Ryan was

being teased with his face red.

Hanley stood by the side, watching before knocking on the table. “Alright, enough. Back to work.”

What they discussed next wasn’t something that Candice could understand. She went back to organize

her

Information.

Everything was jumbled, and it was quite troublesome to organize it.

Luckily, when Candice was working at the secretary’s office, the thing that she did the most was

organizing

documents. That was why she was still able to work on it in an orderly fashion.

When it was about six in the evening. Candice was almost done.

When she showed it to Hanley, he said, “I knew it. Specialization is the right direction.”

Candice was just about to leave and Hanley was going to escort her, but he suddenly received a call

from his client about something.

Candice nodded at him and got out herself.

Once she left the lively room, Candice’s calmness instantly crumbled.

She had just entered the elevator when her phone suddenly rang. It sounded especially urgent in the

silent

space.

Candice was stunned, but picked it up with a frown.

It was Dean Schmidt. Candice had just picked up when the dean said in a nervous tone. “Ms. Renault,

your

grandfather had suddenly fainted.”

Candice immediately thought of Yvonne. She asked with a trembling voice, “Why did he suddenly

faint?”

“The nurses said that he picked up a call. He became agitated and fainted when he knew what

happened.

“Ms. Renault, you have to be prepared,” the dean said. “He seems to have signs of a stroke.”

Candice was almost choked. “I’ll go back to Dorrington City right away.”

After the dean hum, Candice Immediately booked the next flight back to Dorrington City.

When she got to

ington City, it was already about ten at night. Candice didn’t dare to delay and immediately went to the

nursing home.

Luckily, the nursing home was just next to the hospital. When Candice went over, the dean was still

waiting outside the ward.

When he saw her, he immediately stood up and greeted her. “You’re here, Ms. Renault.”

Candice nodded. “How’s my grandpa?”

“Not good. He’s already quite weak, but his blood pressure and heart rate shot up after he got

emotional.

While the doctor at the nursing home could resuscitate him, the result is less than desirable.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Candice pushed open the door into the ward with a frigid expression, only to see her grandpa sleeping

on the bed with an oxygen mask.

He appeared to have aged a lot.

Candice tiptoed over, and he slowly opened his eyes. He then extended his thin right hand toward her.

His mouth opened and closed, but there was no sound.

Candice held his hand and nodded. “I’m home, Grandpa.”

“Can…” The old man’s voice was very weak, and Candice could only hear his voice by getting closer.
