Chapter 0166

Alex’s gaze focused on Candice as if he could see through her, Candice’s fingers involuntarily pinched her palm, and she spoke calmly. “I had a prior appointment with Zane tonight. Inu think I should have abandoned Zane to meet Mr. Matthias, then I have nothing to say.”

“Do you think Mr. Matthias, lying here now, will still want to cooperate with Aether?” Alex was furious. His expression was dark, and his tone harsh.

Sonia was still standing to the side with her head lowered. It was hard to see what she was thinking.

Candice closed her eyes and was about to speak when a nurse approached. “The patient in bed thirty–two has awakened.”

Bed thirty–two was Conrad’s. Alex walked in, and Candice followed closely behind.

Conrad lay on the hospital bed, pale. He looked at Alex and gestured silently. “Mr. Elysian, it seems there’s a conflict between the destinies of Blue Artifact and Aether.”

His statement almost killed any possibility of cooperation. Alex’s expression darkened slightly.

Taking a deep breath. Candice spoke gently. “Mr. Matthias, take a good rest first. Work matters

can wait. There’s plenty of time to discuss them later.”

Conrad’s expression was still not great, and his secretary had hurriedly returned, contacting his family.

Candice and Alex had to leave. Sonia was still waiting outside, looking at Alex with worry. “Lex,

how is Mr. Matthias doing?”

Alex did not speak, and Candice followed after them silently.

When they reached the parking lot, Alex suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Candice.

His gaze was intense, as if a storm was brewing within.

Coincidentally, Candice stood under a streetlamp, and was able to see his expression clearly. She

pursed her lips, hearing her own somewhat hoarse voice. “I’ll come over to apologize to Mr. Matthias later.”

Alex remained expressionless. He was tall, with well–defined features and a strong sense of

presence as a result of his high position. Combined with a stern expression, the pressure emanating from him was strong.
