Listening to Henry's words, Candice felt no emotions at all, nor was she surprised. She just asked Henry, "What if I say my child is his?"
Henry fell silent, but soon regained his senses and said without hesitation, "Why can't you heed my advice? Do you need to keep messing with these things? What do you think Alex is? What qualifications do you have to match him? Candice, let me tell you, one must have self-awareness and not fantasize about things that are not compatible with oneself. If your child is really Alex's, then go have it aborted."
Candice hung up.
Henry said the words so easily, but in the end, there was only one meaning to it. She, Candice, had to make way for Nina no matter what.
Candice thought she would be angry, but after hanging up on Henry, she felt bored.
After being disappointed in someone, even if they act outrageously, she simply could no longer muster up any interest. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nadia and the others came out of the church shortly after. Hanley originally wanted to stay outside with Candice but had been dragged in by Ryan forcibly. He said that as the boss, he had to personally pray to ensure that Burning Star would have a smooth year.
Hanley walked up to Candice, saw that she was a bit listless, and thought for a moment before taking out a candy from his bag and handing it to her. "Are you a bit sleepy from waiting?"
The sun felt nice, and Candice was indeed a bit sleepy. She looked at the candy in Hanley's hand, which had a familiar packaging. "Where did you buy this kind of candy? I didn't see it in the supermarket before."
Hanley raised an eyebrow. "Do you like it?"
"It's very tasty."
Hanley's originally indifferent expression turned into a smile. His eyes twinkled in the warm sun of Stugan City. "As long as you like it."

Setting aside the matter with Henry, they had a great time in Stugan City. And because of that phone call, Henry did not contact Candice again, so she relaxed for a few days.
However, she had been keeping an eye on the situation in the Solaris stock market. After the New Year holiday, she was about to continue her journey to Solaris.
During this period, Candice heard something from Kayla.
It was about Sonia. After being released on medical parole, somehow the news of things between Xavier and her, as well as Quentin had been exposed.
The story Candice heard was spreading in Dorrington. It was said that Sonia was kicking up a fuss to go to Solaris to find someone but was being forcibly kept at home by her parents.
The news and rumors were floating all around in Dorrington and Candice was brought up yet again as comparison. This time, people were all on her side and spoke well of her.
After listening to Kayla's words, Candice's mood remained unchanged.
The power of rumors was formidable. Weren't the people now taking her side the very same ones who had accused her in the past?
As for Sonia's medical parole, it had been orchestrated by Darius. Candice didn’t know what his purpose had been, however, so she could only wait and see.
However, she was more concerned about another thing Kayla mentioned. "Did you just say that Aether is preparing to acquire Horizon Holdings?"
"Yes, there have been quite a few changes in the company recently. I heard that Mr. Elysian now wants to return to headquarters, but it seems that there is some resistance over there."
