Alex responded in a light tone but in a condescending manner.

Candice’s face stiffened slightly as she tried to stand tall in response to his biting remarks.

“I admit I didn’t handle the previous situation well,” she admitted, referring to the event in which Yvonne had shown up at the company asking for money from her.

Candice avoided Alex’s attention by keeping her gaze downward, speaking hesitantly, “Regarding what happened in Noxville-”

She paused abruptly.

Candice thought something was off as she remembered her last contact with Greg at the bank. Her interaction with Greg was limited, and their connection began mainly because of Yvonne’s

medical bills.

Greg, on the other hand, was able to immediately inform her of Ivor’s recent activities, hinting that he had been keeping an eye on the situation. Who else but Alex could give Greg such instructions?

Holding back her suspicions, she resumed, “The situation in Noxville isn’t what you think. I’ll

figure out how to deal with Ivor. Don’t worry about it.”

Alex’s look was anything but warm. He glanced at her casually, an eyebrow arched inquiringly.”

What exactly is your strategy? Do you rely on Hanley for help?”

His smirk was unreadable as he spoke in an icy tone, “Your judgment of people is questionable.

Hanley is estranged from his family. It’s wishful thinking to think you can utilize him to hang on to

the Baldwins.”

“I’m not dependent on him,” Candice countered, her brow furrowed.

Her patience thinning, she pressed, “Can you please stop bringing up Hanley all the time?”

Candice had told him this countless times, but he never seemed to take it seriously.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, his face emotionless. He questioned, “Does bringing him up bother you?”

“Why do you have to be so difficult?” Candice complained.

She had gotten truly tired of his attitude and didn’t want to debate with him about it. Their argument served no purpose.
