Chapter 0225

Candice tightened her grip on the phone. “I’m going out to take a call.”

She walked out of the villa with the phone still ringing. It was a call coming from Noxville, an unfamiliar number, but Candice could guess who it was.

Recently, there had been daily calls from Noxville. Initially, it was Yvonne, but after Candice blocked her, they kept calling from different numbers. The messages piled up–either scolding her for being unfilial or urging her to answer the phone. The latest was a threat saying that she would

regret it if she didn’t answer.

Candice answered the call. After a brief silence, Ivor’s gloomy voice echoed, “Candice, you’ve

finally answered, huh?”

“I told Yvonne not to contact me anymore.”

Ivor sneered, “You said not to contact you, but she’s your mom. Why shouldn’t she look for you? You unfilial daughter, do you even care about your mom?”

Listening to his voice, she interrupted coldly, “Hang up if there’s nothing else.”

“Give me another five hundred thousand.” Ivor threatened coldly. “You’re spending so much money to keep that old man in the hospital. It’s useless! He’ll die sooner or later. You’re just wasting money now. You might as well show filial piety to me and your mom!”

He spoke assertively, but Candice’s eyes grew colder. She asked, “What about Yvonne?”

The last time she had sent that five hundred thousand, she didn’t care or investigate whether it was Yvonne deceiving her. She just hoped Yvonne would keep her word and not come looking for

her again.

But it was clear Yvonne was lying to her again.

“Why do you care so much? I’m telling you, five hundred thousand, transfer it quickly!”

“And then what after the five hundred thousand? One million or two hundred thousand?” Her expression remained unchanged. She couldn’t be bothered to fluctuate her tone and simply said, ” I won’t give you a single penny.”

When Candice returned to the villa, Hanley had already explained everything to everyone, and they were discussing where to celebrate.
