Candice’s expression shifted slightly.

She suppressed the irritation in her heart and calmly asked, “Why did you lock the door? Is the question I just asked…” She paused and glanced around the room. “...a confidential matter?”

Edward quickly smiled and replied, “No, no, Miss Hale, don’t misunderstand. Director Yang didn’t mean anything by locking the door. It’s just that… well, this matter isn’t really appropriate to discuss publicly.”

“Oh? Sounds like there’s more to the story.”

“Yes. Miss Hale, there’s something you might not know. The two people you mentioned were actually among the first group of workers at this factory. They’re a married couple. Later on, they were involved in a workplace accident, which left them disabled and unable to work. At the time, in order to keep things from escalating, we negotiated compensation with them. Interestingly, the couple proposed to continue receiving a salary for fifteen years despite their condition.”

“……”

That's quite the tale.

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 53 So He Needs Blind Dates Too

    "Don't get worked up. I just wanted to... connect emotionally with you, Auntie,"Mia's weak voice carried a subtle chill."After all, I'm going to marry into the Jackson family sooner or later. I'll have to start calling you 'Mom' eventually, right? Mommy~"She said it sweetly.But Caroline Jenkins felt a chill down her spine.She had the terrifying sense that this girl was like a ghost clinging to them — her son, the entire Jackson family, all about to be thrown into chaos.She never should’ve let this ghost into their lives in the first place.Now, it was far too late for regret.Five days later.Candice’s leg had mostly healed.These days had been eerily peaceful — too peaceful.Kyle hadn’t come looking for her.Given the scandal on Twitter, he probably had his hands full. Mia, being the target of online outrage, and the Jones family, now under public scrutiny, surely

    "Twitter?"Candice pulled the phone from her ear.She tapped open the app and instantly saw that several top-tier influencers had shared the same video, which had already skyrocketed to the top of the trending list.The footage was from yesterday afternoon, right outside the airport.But it was clearly edited with precision, painting a narrative where the delicate, innocent Mia was brutally slapped by the vicious and vengeful Candice—an image straight out of a villainess drama.Curiously, Kyle, who had been right in the middle of it all, was completely erased from the footage. The clip showed only Candice “assaulting” Mia.Even more curiously…The influencers weren't condemning Candice. They were collectively denouncing the poor, pitiful Mia Jones.Not only did they expose her identity, but they also mocked her shamelessness—calling her a rich heiress who had stooped so low as to fall for a marrie

    His tone dripped with sarcasm.Candice felt a flare of anger rise in her chest.This was her private life. Even if he had saved her, even if he was her boss, her marriage was no business of his—he had no right to mock her like that.But right now, confusion trumped the indignation.“I never gave him the passcode. How did he get up here?”From the gated community entrance, to building access, to the elevator controls—there were multiple security layers. How had Kyle gotten through?Charlie’s expression shifted from icy mockery to suspicion when he heard this.Kyle staggered toward Candice, the pungent smell of alcohol making her wrinkle her nose in disgust. “How did you get up here?”“Are you sleeping with him?” Kyle suddenly barked, ignoring her question, both hands gripping the armrests of her wheelchair as his voice boomed like thunder.“…!”

    Candice’s cheeks turned bright red.She fumbled to explain, “Oh, I thought you… wanted me to do some cleaning. I’m not very mobile right now, so I thought I couldn’t manage.”Charlie didn’t respond.He stood leaning casually against the desk, arms crossed, wearing the kind of look that saw right through her but wasn’t in any rush to expose her.After a beat, he suddenly chuckled. His voice took on a slow, teasing lilt.“Miss Hale… you sure think highly of yourself.”Candice felt like her face just burst into flames.Was he saying she’d been daydreaming about him?Utterly mortified, she lowered her head and hurriedly opened the folder in front of her, changing the subject with forced calm, “What do you need me to do? I’ll get started right away.”Charlie, mercifully, didn’t press the issue.He moved to the chair opposite her and gave a few brief work-related instructions before turning back to his own tasks.The room settled into quiet, broken only by the rustle of turning pages.For a

    Sophia was pleased by Jerry’s quick agreement. “Thanks a lot.”Jerry replied, “No need to thank me, I’ll let Jim know.”He immediately called Jim and passed along Sophia’s request.Jim readily agreed on the other end of the line. After hanging up, he walked into the study. “Young Master, Miss Hale’s friend ran into Jerry in the elevator. She said no one’s looking after Miss Hale tonight and asked if we could help.”Charlie looked up from his computer screen.A pair of sleek silver-rimmed glasses rested on his sharp, elegant nose. His deep-set, almond-shaped eyes carried a trace of doubt. “She asked three men to go take care of a woman who’s temporarily immobile?”“Uh…”Jim froze for a moment. He and Jerry hadn’t thought of it that way. “Then, Young Master, what do you suggest?”“Contact her first. Ask for her permission.”“Got it.”Jim nodded and called Candice right in front of Charlie. “Miss Hale, your friend asked us to look after you. Young Master wanted me to ask how you feel abo

    The other three in the elevator were so shocked their eyeballs nearly popped out: “...?!”Sophia quickly pulled Candice back.Jim and Jerry silently looked away, choosing selective blindness.They didn’t see anything...Candice dropped her head, covered her face with one hand, and rubbed her forehead anxiously—her cheeks were burning hot.The elevator dinged.13th floor.She was immensely grateful she hadn’t bought an apartment on the 23rd or 33rd floor. If this elevator ride had lasted any longer, she might have just turned to stone on the spot.“Goodbye,” Sophia said politely as she yanked Candice out of the elevator, her high heels tapping rapidly like firecrackers.The elevator doors slowly closed behind them.Jerry and Jim both snuck a glance at Charlie at the same time.He still looked aloof and composed, as if nothing had happened just moments ago. Except for the faint flush painting his otherwise fair and striking face.***“Spill it. What exactly is going on between you and t
