Chapter 0191

Candice looked at him, every word unspoken felt like a stab to her chest. “Then what do you want

The calm facade on her face seemed to crack, revealing a trace of confusion and helplessness as she murmured softly. “What else do you want me to do?”

Alex glanced down at her without much emotion in his voice. “Isn’t this your specialty?”

He leaned back a bit, his gaze slightly darkened. “Aren’t you best at pleasing people? Jackson, Hanley?”

Candice thought to herself; she must be despicable enough now, willingly trying to please

someone who was tired of her.

She felt numb and cold inside, but she didn’t understand what Alex meant by “satisfaction“.

Alex’s cold snort seemed particularly ironic in the quiet space.
