Chapter 170

When Jackson’s call came through, Candice was lying on the sofa, half–asleep and half–awake.

The ringing disturbed her, and she opened her eyes uncomfortably. The room wmly lit, with the living

room curtains closed. Only the faint glow of the streetlights outside prov. Dome prov.sme

visibility.

Feeling her way towards the brightness of the phone screen, Candice answered the call. Jackson’s

concerned voice came through immediately. “Candy, are you okay?”

Candice pinched her face, which felt icy cold. She hesitated before replying. “I’m fine.”

“You don’t need to worry about the stuff online. Hanley and I are handling it with some friends. Hanley

told me about your mom’s situation. It’s not your fault.” Jackson reassured her.

Jackson’s gentle and steady voice was particularly soothing in the evening. However, Candice caught

onto a key point. She asked. “What happened online?”

Jackson fell silent for a moment. “Someone posted a video of you and your mom from this afternoon

online. It’s causing quite a stir in the local community. Someone also dug up that you’re a secretary in

Aether. Your information is everywhere now,” Jackson warned her. “You’d better take some time off. It’s

best not to go out for the next few days.”

After hanging up, Candice froze in place.

She had heard every word Jackson said, but together it made no sense.

Candice clicked on the local section of Wikipedia, and the first post that caught her eye was the

video of Yvonne kneeling in front of her. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Soon after, the second video appeared, the one from the company’s andhymous group..

The comments section was overwhelmingly filled with harsh criticisms, condemning Candice for her

heartlessness and predicting inevitable retribution.

The chat exploded with messages, everyone talking about the incident eagerly.

Candice saw comments from Kayla, Tamia, and a few familiar faces, urging others to stop talking about

it. However, their pleas were quickly drowned out.

The news of her resignation had already spread throughout Aether, so most people were watching the

drama unfold with a keen interest, indifferent to the severity of the situation.

Sieg had just returned from outside, checking his phone as he spoke. “I don’t know what that kid Felix

is up to. He suddenly asked if I knew anyone in public relations. Probably messing around. with some

little internet celebrity again.”

He looked at Alex, who was sitting in the corner expressionless.

“Lex, why is it that every time you invite me for a drink lately, you look so gloomy? Who has upset you

again?” he asked, dissatisfied.

Alex had buttoned up his collar, the glass of alcohol in front of him was untouched, and he looked

like he was in a bad mood.

He lifted his eyes at Sieg’s question, but did not say a word.

The playboy sitting nearby, engrossed in his phone, commented, “Lex is not in the mood for drinking

now. Aether is about to be slammed on the hot search due to that video of Candice and

her mom.”

“What do you mean?” Sieg asked, looking at Alex.

Alex’s expression darkened as he looked at the person who spoke.

The guy was taken aback. “Haven’t you checked your phone? The whole city is discussing it now. The

incident with Candice and her mom kneeling down this afternoon.”

Alex picked up his phone. Scanning through the videos and comments, his face turned gloomy

and chilling.

Sieg also watched the videos, his brows furrowing with disgust.

He sneered. “I didn’t know Candice was so ruthless, making her own mother kneel in front of her. But

it’s understandable. If she can use you as a stepping stone to climb up, what else can’t she do? If I

were you, I’d have fired her long ago. Saves you from feeling so unlucky just by looking at

her.”

Sieg wasn’t particularly concerned about Candice’s situation.

After a few sarcastic comments, he turned to Alex and asked. “Are you planning to go to the

racecourse this weekend? I heard they got some new arrivals.”
