He couldn’t help but sound smug. “Of course, if you want to verify, I have a few more here that you

can take a look at.”

It was a blatant threat. Candice gazed at Francis’s hypocritical face, unable to hide her disgust. Her hand, placed under the table, clenched into a fist, but she managed to ask with some composure. “So, it was you who took those false pictures?”

A flicker crossed Francis’s brow. He leisurely poured himself a drink and pushed it toward Candice. “Does it really matter if it’s true or not? Nowadays, who cares about the truth?”

“What do you want, then?”

He took off his glasses, grinning at her. He attempted to reach for her hand again. “Why bother? You know that since Aether Corporation, I’ve valued you. Now that Alex doesn’t want you, do you think you’ll fare well in this circle? If even I’m left without a way out, how much better could you be doing compared to me? And I’ve heard about your unpleasantness with him…”

“Come with me instead. I can still get you into Webrews Group.”

Seeing his hand inching closer, Candice instantly retracted hers and briskly stood up. She looked down at Francis. “You’re right. Nobody cares about the truth.”

He gazed at her, admiringly saying, “You’re a smart woman.”

However, in the next moment, Candice’s tone shifted. “But not everyone is foolish.”

She raised her phone slightly, sneeringly reminding him. “Your confession is quite comprehensive.

Realizing what was going on, Francis‘ previously relaxed smile froze on his face. “You recorded it?

Candice glanced at her phone, lightly mocking. “You’re still as despicable and foolish as ever.”

His face turned dark and grim. He locked his malicious gaze onto her and gritted his teeth. “A woman like you who’s been played around by Alex still has the audacity to pretend?”

As the venomous and unpleasant words spilled from his mouth, Candice merely looked at him as
