Chapter 283 The Duel of Masters
Last Updated:
2025-08-10 18:00:08The air was thick with an eerie, chilling silence.
The atmosphere was so tense, it felt as if Candice and Alex weren’t just discussing whether to stay for dinner, but conspiring together to commit a murder and bury the body.
The consequences were dire!
High Sophia and Bianca instinctively looked at Charlie, then at the young man standing beside him, Rex, as though fearing that the “not yet” would turn into an immediate execution.
Candice was under immense pressure—she felt like she might need an oxygen mask at any moment.
Amid such a suffocating atmosphere, Alex suddenly smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling. "Alright, since Candice invited me, I’ll stay."
That one sentence turned what was supposed to be a casual "Uncle Robert invited me for dinner" into something far more intimate—“the person I admire invited me to stay.”
Candice felt as though she was on the verge of tears.

She was turning over plans in her mind.With her grandmother’s stubborn temper, if she asked Charlie to call the bodyguards and send them back, the old lady would probably blurt out the real reason for their trip right there on the phone.No, no, no!What if she called them and tried to persuade them not to recognize James? Yeah right—if they were going to give up, they would’ve done it long ago.There was only one solution left: tomorrow, when they met, even if they wanted to trick her into going to the Lawrence family, she could just knock them out and drag them back to the fishing village instead.As for what came after… she’d figure it out later.Once she made up her mind, she put her phone away and walked out.Sophia had just changed into a black evening gown. “How’s this one?”Candice said weakly, “Looks good.”Meanwhile, at the hotel—Mary w
Too Late to Regret Chapter 372 What’s With the Guilty Conscience?
My heart jumped into my throat.I’d thought I’d already talked Mom and Grandma out of coming—and knowing Mom’s cautious personality, she wouldn’t stir up trouble anyway.But Grandma? That fearless, hot-headed old lady? She absolutely would.If they really came to Shandor…If they showed up at that birthday banquet…Wouldn’t the whole city find out overnight that I’m James’s illegitimate daughter?“Candice? Candice?”Sophia waved a hand in front of my face.“Huh? What?”I snapped out of it, pressed my phone face-down on my lap, and forced a smile at the sight of her pink gown.“Mm. Looks good. Really nice.”“…”Could I be any more perfunctory?Sophia gave me a look. She figured I was just feeling pressured by all the Clemens family attention.“You already planned to
Too Late to Regret Chapter 371 How Close Are They, Really?
He pressed his lips together.This woman’s tongue was sharp enough to cut glass.Candice shot him a look that said: Go on, bully your brother again, I dare you.She knew perfectly well that Charlie would always cover for his younger siblings—but honestly, did they have to keep making his life harder just because of it?Ever since she’d heard that story from Jim, she couldn’t help feeling sorry for Charlie. What kind of siblings were these? One called him brother while trying to date him, and another—his actual brother—treated him like an enemy. And all because he was the eldest, so everything had to fall on his shoulders.But back then, he hadn’t even been that old himself.If it were her, she’d let them fend for themselves.Now that Jessica Barnes had already let go of the past, why was Charlie still holding a grudge? Wasn’t that a little too much?Charlie faltered under he

Anyway—she wasn’t going.Absolutely not.No matter how fate tried to push her toward the Lawrence family, she would fight it to the bitter end.Of course, Candice knew that opposing them now was useless. They’d keep persuading her until she agreed—especially Charlie. There was no winning against that man.So… better to play along for now.“Fine,” she said sweetly, pretending to give in. “I’ll go.”The birthday banquet was two days away. When the time came, she’d just say she wasn’t feeling well. Knowing how anxious they were about her condition, no one would dare push her. A banquet wasn’t worth a life—surely they’d let it go.When the discussion wrapped up, Charlie left with Candice first.Afterward, Beatrice was summoned by her mother to a private room—clearly, Mrs. Hawthorne had plenty to say.Cody and Vanessa went to spen
Too Late to Regret Chapter 369 Don’t Overstate It
Vanessa couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Why?”Everyone was dying to know — why did Denise want Miss Hale dead?Beatrice opened her mouth, ready to speak, but suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words back down. After taking a moment to steady her tone, she said, “It’s actually my fault. Back in Vanclyn, I ran into Denise. That wretch could talk and act like she was born for the stage — I couldn’t win against her. Luckily, Candice was with me at the time and helped me put that woman in her place. I suppose she’s been holding that grudge ever since.”She picked the smallest, least important reason to tell them.Earlier, anger had made her speak without thinking. But the two real reasons — even if they were only her own guesses — weren’t suitable to say aloud now, especially since her mother and sister-in-law didn’t know Candice well.The first reason was tha

"Thank you."She lowered her head and ate the food he’d put in her bowl, avoiding eye-contact.But even so, Charlie’s manner had already shocked Grandma Hawthorne and Vanessa.They weren’t blind—no boss treats a subordinate with that kind of care and intimacy. The two were obviously… *that* sort of relationship.So he hadn’t escaped the common male failing after all."Charlie is certainly good to his staff," Vanessa remarked, gaze flicking between them, smile laced with meaning. When her eyes landed on Candice they carried a faint disdain.Candice could read minds now: *Scheming bed-climbing sprite—thinks she can turn into a phoenix? Dream on.*She almost laughed.Just then Charlie’s lazy voice floated across the table: "Being good to one’s *girlfriend* is only natural."He added another piece of food to Candice's bowl as if it were the most ordinary thing.She looked up, helple
