Sonia was a vivacious person. With Sieg by her side, she was able to blend in with ease.

Meanwhile, Candice lingered on the outskirts for a short while, feeling idle. Eventually, she made her way to the grill stations, took several skewers nonchalantly, and set them on a grill.

Not being a regular at barbecuing or cooking, Candice struggled to manage the temperature.

It wasn’t until a charred scent filled the air that she realized she had overdone the food.

As Candice hurried to fix things, Sieg approached to retrieve something and was immediately hit by the burnt smell. He frowned. “What’s that smell?”

Candice, keeping her cool, was about to dispose of the charred food when Sieg caught her in the act.

He exclaimed dramatically, “Candice, can you even cook?”

Still holding the plate, Candice froze.

She glanced at Sieg but chose to remain silent.

Sieg sneered contemptuously. After being verbally bested by Candice earlier without a chance for rebuttal, this was his moment.

He scrutinized the burnt food on the plate and clicked his tongue. “Is this ‘perfect wife and mother‘ act for Lex or Jake’s benefit?” Sieg taunted mockingly.

He blocked Candice’s path before she could move and scoffed, seeming to enjoy the drama.

Candice maintained a neutral expression and confronted him in a low voice, “Ever been told how annoying you are?”

Her tone was icy. Her expression was unflinching.

Sieg’s face hardened as he retorted louder, “Am I being too lenient with you?”

His sudden spike in volume captured the crowd’s attention, all eyes pivoting to their confrontation,
