Chapter 969

"Hey, what brings you here?" Jaden asked, furrowing his brow. Hadn't he told her to stay in her room?

Candace flashed a gentle smile. "I noticed you haven't eaten all morning, and I was worried you might be starving, so I whipped up some pastries." As she spoke, her sparkling eyes drifted to the other heirs. "You all should try some too. I made plenty."

"Oh, no thanks."

"Yeah, you guys go ahead."

They declined in unison, clearly uninterested.

Truth be told, they weren't fans of Candace. As the saying goes, love is blind, but they saw right through her. She wasn't exactly a gem in their eyes.

They'd hinted as much to Jaden a couple of times, but he wouldn't listen, so they let it be.

"Come on, don't be shy. Have a bite," Candace coaxed, her smile as sweet as the pastries.

"We said no, don't you get it?" sneered the young man in the tracksuit, his usual warmth replaced by a cold stare. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, fiddling with some candy.

He knew Candace's type all too well. She banked on being Jaden's girl, the future lady of the Neville family, and even had the nerve to pick on his sister.
