Chapter 0129

Sieg’s stare at Candice was loaded with scorn. He rested his hand on Rolf’s shoulder, voicing his displeasure. Lex is in there. Aren’t you able to behave yourself?”

In the past, Candice would have defended herself against Sieg’s misunderstandings. Now she felt too drained to exert effort in countering him.

She cast a quick glance at Sieg before addressing Rolf, “You wanted me to fetch your coat, right?”

Rolf Langstaff, as he accepted the coat, appeared perplexed. Unacquainted with Sieg and his crowd, he had come to the event primarily because of his close ties with Marc.

Despite this, witnessing Sieg’s demeaning behavior towards Candice, Rolf easily surmised their tense

relationship.

Coming from a family that ran a business, Rolf was keen not to upset Sieg. He clicked his tongue in Candice’s direction, chastising her. “Sure, I requested the coat, but I didn’t anticipate you’d soil it. Have you stained my

coat?”

Candice replied icily, “If you think it is filthy, there’s a garbage bin right there.”

Taken aback by her comeback, Rolf frowned, annoyed that she had belittled him in front of Sieg.

Rolf scrutinized Candice and remarked coldly. “Walking around in such dirty clothes, you’d be mistaken for a

beggar.”

The smears of dirt on Candice’s clothes from Sonia were minor, but they stood out against the light–colored

garments.

She glanced at her clothing and, opting not to prolong the interaction, turned to leave.

Rolf felt she had insulted him. He seized Candice’s arm, his voice stern. “Who said you

could go?”

Her demeanor turned frostier. She opened her mouth to reply, a sharp retort on her tongue, but Sonia’s faint cry echoed from the billiards room.
