Chapter 0144

Candice’s expression darkened, and she rebuked in a cold voice, “Alex!”

Alex remained veiled in shadows, his voice still cold but with a hint of mockery, “I’ve done what I’ve done. Are you afraid?”

Candice felt suffocated. She stared at Alex for a while before turning to Hanley and saying, “Sorry, can you

step out for a moment?”

Hanley’s long lashes drooped, veiling his thoughts. He nodded, “Call me if you need me.”

Only after Hanley exited the room did Candice suppress her frustration and speak slowly, “Alex, if you want to belittle me, do you have to involve others?”

“Belittle?” Alex repeated the word. He raised his eyes to look at her and said, “What aspect of you is worth

belittling?”

She closed her eyes briefly. “Then please refrain from spreading rumors.”

“Daring but unwilling to face the consequences seems to be your consistent style.” His voice grew even deeper. He clicked his tongue. “Candice, you never fail to disappoint me.”

The scent of alcohol lingered in the room as Alex sat on the sofa. Even if she couldn’t see clearly, Candice

could imagine his current expression to be quite ironic.

Ironically, he accused her of hypocrisy, unscrupulousness, greed, and poor morals. Yet even Candice herself didn’t know when she had transformed into such a person in his eyes.

That sense of helplessness seeped from the depths of her heart again. She took a deep breath and, swallowing her dry throat, said, “Is that so?”

She wanted to leave, but the room’s door suddenly swung open. Yana, once again in her high heels, returned. This time, she was accompanied by several familiar faces.

Sieg was in the front. He saw Alex and said, “Yana said you were here, but I didn’t believe it. Yet here you are.”

But then he spotted Candice standing there and raised an eyebrow. “Alex, how sly of you, bringing your
