Chapter 0192

Candice’s thoughts were in disarray. When she arrived at the villa gate, she took a deep breath

and suppressed her emotions.

But as soon as she got out of the car, she coincidentally met Hanley returning..

There was a trace of weariness around his eyes and brows. He seemed taken aback when he saw

her.

Realizing the situation, he furrowed his brow and asked, “How is your grandfather? Any updates?”

“I’ll find another way,” she replied.

“It’s my fault, sorry,” he sighed softly.

Hanley hadn’t been back to the Baldwin family for many years. He returned this time due to work reasons and hadn’t been in contact with the family for a long time. He vaguely remembered that his younger aunt had some connections with the Sui family, so he had called her to ask for help. Unexpectedly, Chad had refused decisively.

“I appreciate your willingness to help, but it’s my own issue. I’ll think of another way.” Candice said

Originally, her grandfather’s matter had nothing to do with Hanley. She appreciated him for being willing to help, so she couldn’t blame him for anything.

Candice pursed her lips, remembering what Nadia mentioned. Her expression turned serious as she asked Hanley, “Nadia mentioned the cancellation of cooperation for the financial exhibition?”

Bringing up the matter, Hanley’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.

He had been called for a sudden meeting on his way to the hospital today specifically about this matter. They were on the brink of signing the contract for the exhibition, but suddenly, the other party wanted to replace their studio.

Seeing Hanley’s expression, Candice’s heart sank even further. “Did they mention the reason?”

“It’s complicated to explain,” Hanley was troubled. “Another studio wants to get involved and has secured intentions from several companies in Dorrington City. So, there’s a bit of a standoff now.”

As soon as he said this, Candice understood. The financial exhibition was a decision related to the department’s push for economic development and socialization. If they could engage multiple companies in the collaboration, the preference would naturally lean toward that.

“It’s not too significant. After all, it’s a collaboration with the department, so there will definitely be better
