Chapter 0096

Candice’s lips twitched, unable to find words to respond.

Alex looked down at her disdainfully and sneered, “Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

“Lex?” Sonia’s voice interrupted, coming from behind.

She emerged from around the corner, her eyes landing on Candice, questioning. “Why aren’t you returning to the room? Everyone’s waiting.”

Sonia’s probing gaze was subtle.

Candice, trying to mask her feelings, responded, “I’ve just arrived.”

“I assumed you weren’t coming back,” Sonia remarked, her glance shifting toward Alex, laced with curiosity.

Candice realized Sonia was reading too much into the situation, but she lacked the strength to clarify. She simply mentioned her intention to retrieve her bag from the private room.

Before she could walk away, Greg approached, holding her bag.

He appeared surprised to see Candice, handing over the bag. “Sorry, I thought you left it in haste, so I brought

it out.”

Accepting the bag emotionlessly, Candice thanked him. “Thanks.”

Greg then addressed Alex. “Lex, Sonia seems allergic to something. Maybe you should take

her to the hospital.”

Sonia quickly displayed her arm, showing several red blotches. She frowned, voicing her concern. “These

weren’t here this morning. They just started itching.”

Greg, puzzled, asked, “Was there anything in our meal that could have caused this?”

Sonia mentioned, “I’m allergic to peanuts.”

Candice’s gaze shifted subtly, recalling a dish served with peanut sauce.

She had not eaten much, but that dish had been directly in front of her, so she had tried a bit.

Realization dawned on Greg too. He turned to Alex and said, “Sonia can’t eat peanuts. Didn’t you know?”

Alex, caught off guard, replied dismissively, “I wasn’t paying attention to the order.”
