Candice stood quietly, waiting for him to approach.

She wasn’t afraid of his cold expression—who was he trying to intimidate?

Jerry: Oh, God...

Rex, excited, rushed forward as if he had just found his long-lost father. “Master Clemens, I’m here!”

Charlie, with a stern face, looked as though he was ready to hit him.

“What did I tell you?”

Rex, unbothered, shrugged and spread out his black suit like a rebellious teenager. “If you’re angry, just hit me. I’m here anyway—go ahead, hit me.”

    "That doesn't matter right now; what matters is you!"Margaret was consumed with worry. She now deeply regretted her initial decision; she felt she should have been firm in making her daughter separate from Charlie. That way, they wouldn't have had to take the risk of sending her back to the Lawrence family just to overcome the hurdle of her background.Now that she was being targeted by that venomous woman, there was no telling what would happen in the future.Candice reassured her, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, and don't think of her as being all-powerful. She won't let me go? Well, I won't let her go either. Relax, your daughter can handle this."Sophia also tried to comfort Margaret. "It's fine. If she can't even handle a crisis like this, how is she going to fight her in the future? You have to remember, Candice isn't alone anymore.""Besides, things have already come to this. Being afraid only makes it more dangerous," Bianca sai

    Candice’s voice was devoid of any ups and downs, carrying a sort of cold solemnity.Amy swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on Candice for a long time. When she finally spoke, her voice sounded as if it were being dragged out by a heavy weight attached to her throat. "I... I don’t know who it was... Sh-she found me... Oh, not in person, it was over the phone. She told me to come back to the fishing village... and then... no matter what method I used... to stir up some trouble... to force y-you to... rush here immediately."Everyone: "...!"Before she had spoken these words, Candice’s "coerced confession" had been based on deduction and suspicion. After all, a decade-old neighborhood grudge escalating to mutual retaliation and a high-society vendetta seemed like two different dimensions; connecting them felt somewhat far-fetched.But as Amy’s words landed, that sinister, rotten aura suddenly surged toward them, sending chills down their

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 440 Coerced Confession

    Everything happens for a reason.Even if it were the Third Uncle’s family, why would these old rivals—who had maintained a truce for over a decade—suddenly start trouble now? There had to be a motive.A flicker of unease crossed Mary’s face. She shifted her weight, stammering, "Well... the conflict has always been there. It’s true that because our family’s life has improved over the last few years, the friction decreased a lot. At most, we’d just exchange a few sarcastic remarks. Usually..."Candice was still preoccupied with Charlie’s situation and had no patience for her grandmother’s evasions. She didn't want to play word games. She gripped the older woman's hand. "Just tell me straight. What happened?""..."Knowing she couldn't fool her brilliant granddaughter, Mary confessed guiltily, "It was just last week. Third Uncle’s youngest daughter, who works out of town, came back. Her mothe

    Sophia briskly pulled breakfast out of the bags. "We happened to be eating with Candice yesterday when we heard you were hurt, so we all came along."Bianca helped crank up the hospital bed. "Auntie, we were already planning to visit the fishing village together anyway."Rex sprawled on the sofa. "The buns here are actually pretty good."Margaret was amused by Rex. "Auntie knows how to make them, too. When we go home this afternoon, I’ll make some for you.""Did the doctor say you can be discharged today?" Candice asked."It’s not like it’s a major wound. It just looked scary at the time. It’s been disinfected, and I’ve had a tetanus shot—what else could go wrong?""I should still ask the doctor myself. Mom, which intersection in the village did you step on the nails? The one leading to the beach? Dad said on the phone you were going to call Uncle for dinner. That road to the shore usually has quite a bit

    Candice entered the room light-footedly. Seeing her mother’s feet wrapped in thick gauze, her heart ached with pity."Candice!"Robert, who had been dozing off nearby, woke up. Seeing his daughter, he stood up joyfully. He started to speak, but realizing that his wife—who had been in pain half the night—had finally fallen asleep, he made a shushing gesture and pointed outside.Father and daughter tiptoed out together.Sophia and the others were standing in the hallway. Since the other patients were still sleeping at this hour, no one dared to make much noise. When they saw Candice and Robert emerge, they simply nodded in greeting."Charlie didn't come?" Robert asked."I told you before that he was going on a business trip this week, so he'll be here next week. You forgot," Candice said in a hushed voice."Oh, right, right," Robert tapped his head. "Look at me, I'm so worried I've lost my mind."He let out a si

    Sophia: "Candice, I’m coming with you.""Babe, don't panic. I’ll have my bodyguards come pick us up," Bianca said, rubbing Candice’s back comfortingly while making a call to arrange the transport.Jim, having finished tidying the kitchen, walked over. He saw the three girls standing there from a distance, their faces clouded with anxiety, and realized something had happened."What’s wrong?""Jim, something happened to my mom. I have to go there," Candice said as she hurried inside to her room to pack.Jim’s expression turned solemn instantly. He asked for the details, and Sophia recounted the phone call to him."I see." Jim nodded, turned around, and quickly went back into the house to make a phone call.By the time Candice had hurriedly packed and gone downstairs with Sophia and Bianca to wait for the bodyguards, she saw someone standing by a car in the garage who definitely shouldn't have been there.

    “Let’s go together,”Candice said helplessly.Even if she told those two “tailers” not to follow, Caroline and Beatrice would clearly tag along anyway. Maybe that fearless display she’d put on earlier gave them the wrong idea—that she was some kind of brave heroine who could slay monsters.But hone
