Chapter 0094

Candice stood there watching this dramatic situation play out and felt a chill in her fingertips.

She slowly recovered her voice and questioned, “Are you…”

Choked, words failed her, and she failed to express her feelings.

Yvonne let go of Peach’s hand and looked expectantly at Candice. She begged, “Candy.”

Candice diverted her eyes, inhaling deeply, about to respond.

Greg cut in, “It was me who called the police. What’s the point of you bothering her?”

Caught off guard, Yvonne hesitated, then turned to Greg.

Disheveled from Ivor’s attack, her hair and clothes a mess, she clasped her hands together, imploring, “Can

you talk to the police? Ask them not to arrest my husband.”

Greg and Alex exchanged glances, with the latter remaining mute.

With a disapproving frown, Greg cautiously asked, “You do understand your husband has assaulted someone, right?”

“No,” Yvonne quickly clarified. “He didn’t mean any harm. He was just upset.”

Greg struggled to grasp her logic. He glanced at Candice, who had turned away with her lips pressed together tightly.

Following his gaze, Yvonne seized Candice’s hand, asserting, “She’s my daughter. This is a family matter. It shouldn’t involve the police.”

In her haste, her long nails scraped Candice’s hand, leaving a faint mark.

Yvonne’s grip was surprisingly powerful, and despite Candice’s efforts, she was unable to break away.

She then turned to Candice, urging, “Isn’t this man your boss? Tell him!”

Candice felt a coldness settle in her heart. She stifled her anger and retorted, “What is there to explain? I don’t even know him. Didn’t you see him trying to hit me?”

These were the harshest words she had ever spoken to her mother, and Yvonne froze in stupor.
