Sonia’s face turned pale in an instant under Candice’s scrutiny. In fact, there were quite a few

rumors circulating within Aether about her, but no one dared to say them to her face.

However, both Julie and Candice spoke without restraint, and for a moment, the expression on

Sonia’s face was quite vivid.

Watching her changing expression, Candice slowly withdrew her gaze.

Just as the elevator reached the ground floor, she blinked and exited the elevator.

But what she did not expect was to run into Alex right after leaving the company entrance.

He had just returned from Blue Artifact, his expression cold, and his jaw clenched tightly.

When he saw Candice, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, a clear sign that his mood was not great.

Feeling that she had not provoked him, Candice was about to walk away when she heard footsteps

approaching. Soon, she heard Sonia’s aggrieved voice. “Lex.”

Now outside the company, Sonia jogged over, and whether it was intentional or not, her shoulder

bumped into Candice.

step to the side when bumped.

Meanwhile, Sonia ran straight to Alex, raised her small face, and with a reddened nose, looked up

at him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was aggrieved.

Alex’s gaze, originally on Candice, shifted back to Sonia. “What’s wrong?”

Candice did not want to watch Sonia’s performance any longer and turned away.

Sonia, who had been paying attention to her movements all along, watched her leaving figure, and a

trace of complex thoughts flashed in her eyes. Then, she bit her lip and slowly spoke. “Alex, I don’t

want to stay in the CEO’s office anymore. Candice is right. I don’t know anything and don’t

have the qualifications.”

As she spoke, she had already become melancholic, clutching Alex’s clothes and not letting go.

Alex’s gaze landed on the hand pulling on his clothes, and his tone was indifferent. “Candice said

that?”

Before Sonia could answer, he sneered. “Who gave her the right to act so high and mighty?”

Sonia remained silent, but her eyes hidden beneath her eyelashes showed subtle ernotional

fluctuations.

Instead of going home directly, Candice first went to the nursing home.

Her grandfather had called earlier today, reminding her that she had not visited him for several days.

Since the last time he was discharged, her grandfather’s health had deteriorated visibly, and the doctor

had repeatedly warned about the possibility of a stroke.

When Candice arrived at the nursing home, her grandfather was flipping through a photo album in his

room.

She placed the fruits she had brought on the table and spoke softly. “The caregiver said you haven’t

had dinner yet tonight. Is it because of a poor appetite?”

Upon hearing her voice, her grandfather looked up and waved at her. “Candy, come and look at your

grandmother. You’re just like your grandmother.”

During these days around her grandmother’s death anniversary, her grandfather would take out the

thick album every year. Watching the young woman in the photos, Candice smiled. “Yes, I remember

that Grandma’s homemade candied haws were delicious.”

Looking at the photos, her grandfather’s expression was nostalgic. Suddenly, he grabbed Candice’s

hand. “Candy, accompany me to visit our old house.”

“But it’s a bit late now.”

Her grandfather insisted. “I go back every year. If I don’t go back this year, she’ll be upset.”

Candice had no choice but to inform the dean and then help her grandfather into the car.

The old house mentioned by her grandfather was in an old–style cylindrical building in the north of the

city. Originally, this area was supposed to be demolished, but due to some issues, the demolition had

been delayed.

When Candice left with her grandfather back then, most of the residents in the cylindrical building had

already moved out.

So now

now, the entire neighborhood looked dim, illuminated only by a few old street lamps. Knowing about

Candice’s night blindness, her grandfather took the initiative to speak. “Candy, wait for me outside. I’ll

go in and take a look.”
