Helen’s remarks were biting and unkind.

Candice’s gaze darkened in response, but she chose not to engage in a dispute with Helen, instead pressing her lips together.

In contrast, Helen’s scorn grew in response to Candice’s silence.

“I’ve already made it clear that I won’t approve of my son marrying someone from your background,” she

declared disparagingly. “Since you’re now involved with the Baldwins, you should leave my son and retain

some self–respect,”

Candice maintained her composed demeanor, and met Helen’s gaze, calmly responding, “That’s a

conversation you should have with Sonia.”

Helen scoffed mockingly, and was about to retort when Alex returned from the study.

Turning to Alex, Helen reminded him in a neutral tone, “Remember your dinner appointment with Ms. Landor

this weekend.”

Alex paused momentarily, his face unreadable. “I haven’t given my consent,” he replied.

“I’m not seeking your consent, merely informing you,” Helen retorted.

Leaving Elysian Manor, Alex looked visibly upset.

Noticing the tension in him, Candice frowned slightly. She was reluctant to stay with him when he was in such

a poor mood.

As she moved to the driver seat, Alex halted her. “Let me drive.”

Observing his still–icy demeanor, she cautioned, “Driving while upset isn’t wise.”

Alex’s stern gaze landed on her and challenged, “Are you in any state to drive?”

Feeling unsettled after Helen’s provocation and faced with Alex’s adamant attitude, Candice silently handed
