Chapter 113

Even when it was time for lunch, Candice hadn’t even finished half of it.

Nadia was still at the hospital. They were discussing who should get food for her when Hanley said,

“You

guys can go.”

The others looked at him with interest, their eyes darting between Candice and Hanley.

Candice was still organizing the messy information while Hanley looked at them expressionlessly.

“Come

back in the afternoon on time.”

Once Candice was done, he said, “Let’s go down and eat something.”

There was a restaurant in the hotel, and Candice didn’t want to go too far, so she went directly to the

second

floor.

She didn’t expect to see Sonia there, however.

Candice frowned. It was obvious that she didn’t expect Sonia and Alex to be staying at the same hotel.

Sonia was similarly surprised when she saw Hanley and Candice, but she could hide her surprise well.

She

smiled and greeted Candice. “What a coincidence, Candice.”

What a coincidence indeed.

Candice didn’t want to waste her breath and simply walked past her.

Sonia’s smile froze on her face. But when she remembered about yesterday, she couldn’t help

reminding

Candice with glee, “Candice, do you know your mom asked Lex for a loan?”

Candice’s footsteps froze. She turned around and looked at Sonia.

Sonia smiled, but her words were harsh. “He didn’t loan any to her, since she doesn’t look like the type

that can pay it back.”

Candice saw the disdain in Sonia’s eyes. Calmly, she said, “What are you so happy about? Do you

own Alex’s

money?”

With that, she simply gave Sonia a glare, and she added, “Or you’ve already married into the Elysian

household?”

Sonia’s face instantly turned red because of that.

It had also touched Sonia’s nerve.

After Helen had gone to Aether Corporation that one time, she had never seen her again.

No matter how she tried to clue Alex in, he had never mentioned taking her to see Helen again.

Sonia was no fool. She knew that if she wanted to marry Alex, she needed to first deal with Helen.

But she couldn’t even see her.

Candice grabbed some lunch after saying that to Sonia. Hanley was after her, looking at her with

interest. After a moment, he asked, “I thought you were someone with a good temper. But you can be

quite fierce.” Candice ordered nothing because she couldn’t be bothered, Instead, she went to the NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

buffet and got herself some salad.

When she heard what Hanley had said, she replied, “Not in a good mood.”

Hanley knew why she wouldn’t be and didn’t say anything. Instead, he grabbed something from the

buffet as well and looked for a seat.

They sat in the corner, and there was a potted plant that blocked most prying eyes. All those from

behind could see were Candice and a man’s figure.

When Sonia took a picture, she hesitated before gritting her teeth and sent it to Alex.

She typed. I met Candice when I was eating at the hotel. I thought she didn’t check into the same hotel

as us?)

Candice didn’t have any appetite, so she didn’t want to eat anymore after taking a few bites.

Hanley frowned and asked, “That’s all?”

Candice looked down for a moment before saying, “I want to make a call.”

Sonia’s words were echoing in her mind.

Yvonne really did loan money from Alex…

There was emotion boiling in her eyes when she left the restaurant as she took out her phone.

It took some time after she made the call before it finally went through, and Alex’s voice came. “Speak.”

Candice’s hand shuddered, unsure of what to say despite wanting to speak.

Alex’s background was a bit noisy. He was most likely somewhere outside. He asked in an impatient

tone.

Candice?”

Candice finally asked, “Yvonne asked for a loan from you. Is that true?”
