Chapter 0946

As she read the name of the party on the document, her fingertips turned cold.

Humphrey Moore, the CEO of Red Sun Corporation.

Candice had narrowly escaped an uncomfortable encounter with Humphrey last time and even ended up with

a photograph taken.

Kayla mentioned that Sonia kicked up a fuss and wanted to go with Alex, but he didn’t agree.

Candice had an indifferent look when she heard that.

Of course, Alex wouldn’t agree.

Most people in the Dorrington social circle knew Humphrey’s reputation. Since Alex cared so much about Sonia, he naturally wouldn’t want her to have any contact with someone like Humphrey.

Candice tried to ignore the gossip from her colleagues. Her phone on the side chimed with a message alert.

She lowered her head to see a WhatsApp message from Yvonne, containing a picture of Peach receiving an

infusion.

After a moment of silence, Candice replied, (Is she okay?]

The response came quickly, saying that Peach’s condition suddenly worsened, and the expenses for this

month might be a bit higher.

Candice looked at her phone silently and transferred the ten thousand dollars that Alex had given her.

When Alex arrived, he went straight to Candice.

“Come with me.”

Just thinking about Humphrey’s oily gaze made Candice unconsciously furrow her brows. Alex noticed her

hesitation and spoke with a slightly stern tone. “Don’t want to go?”

Candice stood up without much expression. “No. I’m fine.”

When they arrived at the venue, Humphrey hadn’t arrived yet. Candice held her bag and said to Alex, “I’ll go to

the restroom.”

Alex asked, “Nervous?”

It was obvious he was referring to the incident with the photo of Candice and Humphrey. Candice looked at him, her eyelashes fluttering.
