Chapter 171

The bar’s lighting wasn’t very bright, and Alex, sitting in the corner with his legs crossed, exuded an

imposing aura.

As soon as Sieg finished speaking, Alex stood up, coldly declared, “Not going,” and left straight away.

After Alex had left, a phone rang on the table. It was Alex’s.

Sieg glanced at it and saw an unfamiliar number without a contact name.

Thinking it might be a scam call, he ignored it.

Yet, the caller seemed persistent and rang again.

Sieg clicked his tongue in annoyance and decided to end the call. He then invited others to join him for

a drink.

Candice listened to the busy tone on her phone, and then tossed it onto the coffee table. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She had initially wanted to call Alex to inquire about the impact on Aether and how the company

planned to handle the situation.

The videos and comments in the local area were increasing rapidly, and the comments section had

become unbearable.

Amidst the chaos, discussions about Candice and Alex’s relationship had begun to surface.

The discussions speculated that she had slept her way into her position.

The discussions also mentioned that she relied solely on men and a.bed.

Insults were hurled at her one after another, and she could only send a message to Alex, hoping he

would see it and call her back.

Candice thought that as long as Alex was willing to cooperate, they could handle the situation through

public relations as quickly as possible.

However, even as her phone was bombarded with messages from others until it eventually shut down,

Alex still did not return her call.

This continued into the next morning, and the situation not only failed to subside but grew even more

intense.

Candice’s information had been thoroughly dug up.

She spent the entire night sitting on the sofa, staring blankly out the window.

She could not understand why things had turned out this way.

She had not done anything wrong.

She had paid for Peach’s medical expenses.

When she was with Alex, she only liked him alone,

In every aspect of work in Aether, she had focused on her work and completed it seriously and

professionally.

Even when dealing with Yvonne, she had never treated her cruelly.

Yet somehow, she had become the villain.

When her phone buzzed again, like a relentless reminder of her predicament. Candice looked at

the screen dully.

It was a call from her grandfather.

Seeing his name. Candice’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Large drops rolled down her

cheeks, and even her breathing could not keep up.

The phone rang persistently for a long time before Candice pressed the answer button. However, as

soon as the call connected, she heard Dean Schmidt and Silas urgently shouting. “Mr. Sundance, don’t

get agitated. Take your time to talk things out slowly.”

Candice knew that her grandfather had learned about the news.

Unable to hold back her emotions, she sniffled. “Grandpa.”

“Candy.” Joe panted heavily, but he was still trying to comfort Candice. He said in a deep voice. Candy,

don’t be afraid. I will talk to those people and set things straight. They’re just spouting

nonsense. None of them are good people!”

Her grandfather was defending her without need for explanation, and Candice could not help but cry

even harder. After a brief moment of silence, she remembered that her grandfather could not get too

worked up. Trying to sound as normal as possible, she said, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’m fine, and I don’t

care about these things. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Her grandfather seemed like the only person in the world standing by her side without any

reservations.
