It was perhaps because Ivanka was so outstanding that Candice never saw her as a peer but rather as a role model.Being praised by someone she admired so deeply was naturally a source of great joy.But Candice never said these feelings out loud, nor would she.Ivanka patted her on the shoulder. “Good job. Now get back to work and start getting comfortable in your new role. On Friday evening, Michael and I will help you with your move.”Candice nodded. She had no objections to the arrangement.For some reason, the previous incident had made its way to Rosie’s ears. Rosie had insisted that Candice move into the family’s mansion.Unable to find a reason to refuse or to push back further, Candice reluctantly agreed.“Then you and Michael will be staying for dinner at the family mansion on Friday, right?”Ivanka nodded, figuring they would likely need to stay the night as well.“Don’t overthink it for now. Get back to work, and just wait for me after work on Friday.” Candice no

It was still early. Michael told the driver to head over to Candice’s former residence and help her move.Her neighborhood was not a secluded area, and the facilities were not too old. But these houses were mostly for rent. There was a mix of ordinary citizens and people with shady backgrounds among the residents. The security measures in this neighborhood were unsatisfactory.Ivanka helped Candice pack her clothes and other household items, while Michael instructed the movers to pack the furniture.“Leave this. Dispose of that.”When Ivanka and Candice walked out of the bedroom, they saw Michael sitting on the couch with his legs crossed and ordering people around like a boss.Well, he was not simply acting like a boss. He was the boss.Since he decided to leave so many pieces of furniture, the movers’ job had gotten much easier.Candice hurried over and stopped them. She said with resignation, “These are still useful, Mic. Why would we throw them away?Michael glanced at the

But given the state of Ivanka’s relationship with Michael, it was not appropriate for them to move back home together.Ivanka tucked her hair behind her ear. “I don’t think it’s a good idea. I don’t want to be a bother to Grandma.”Rosie disagreed with her. “You won’t be a bother. I’d be thrilled to have you both back. You’ll keep me company!” Ivanka smiled, but deep down, she was trying to come up with an excuse to persuade Rosie while not hurting her feelings.If she did not handle this matter properly, Rosie would bring this up again, even if she backed down this time.Candice could tell how conflicted Ivanka was, so she came to her rescue. She said to Rosie in a child-like manner, “Am I not enough to keep you company, Grandma? What have I done wrong?”As expected, Rosie shifted her attention to Candice. She tapped a finger between Candice’s eyebrows adoringly.“You brat. Are you getting jealous? Of course I adore you. I just want all of you in the house. No one is getting r

Candice’s heart sank sharply, and her face instantly fell.She had considered different possibilities, but she never thought that he would be the boss of Victory Edge Corporation!“It has been a while, Candice.” The man wore a pair of sunglasses. There was a mocking smile on his lips. He opened his arms, as if to give her a hug.Candice stood still and stared at him fixedly.“Leonardo, how did you get out of jail?”It was her obnoxious, cheating ex-fiance!Leonardo took off his sunglasses. There was a regretful expression on his face.“It has been a long time since we last met. I thought you’d be thrilled to see me. But the first thing you did was ask me how I got out. You broke my heart.”Leonardo approached her as he said that.Candice watched him cautiously and stepped back out of reflex until she was backed into a wall and there was nowhere else to go.Thoughts raced in her head as she tried to figure out what happened.How did Leonardo get out? Was he the only one who m

Before Ivanka said anything, Candice started rambling about a random request.Ivanka refrained from saying a word, because she sensed that something was off.Perhaps Candice had not mispressed the emergency button. Her distress message was real!Just then, Leonardo snatched Candice’s phone right out of her hand and put Ivanka on speaker.Ivanka’s voice rang out. She sounded calm and did not betray a hint of emotion.“Go on. What is it?”Candice knew that Ivanka must have realized that she was in a dangerous situation.She heaved a sigh of relief. Her plan worked to a certain extent.She said, “I realized that there are some mistakes in the contract Dan Geralds submitted. Please review it as we need to submit it soon.”On the other end of the line, Ivanka frowned. There was no one named Dan Geralds in the company.She instantly knew that Candice was in a very dangerous situation.Ivanka inhaled deeply and made sure that she sounded as calm as possible so that whoever was th
