Chapter 0229

Sonia tried to probe Candice. “Candice, did I hear it wrong?”

Candice looked at Sonia with a hint of impatience. “You don’t need to be concerned about my

affairs.”

“I’m just worried whether you encountered any trouble. After all, this is my birthday party, and I definitely want everyone to have a good time.”

“Miss Summers.” Yana smiled by the side. “You don’t have to keep reminding us that today is your birthday. We can remember it. After all, you’re the main character today, I understand.”

Sonia kept presenting herself as a host, repeatedly emphasizing her status in front of Candice. In Yana’s eyes, it seemed more like intentionally emphasizing something, making it even more

conspicuous.

Sonia froze, but Candice suddenly understood. Sonia had circled around like this, probably wanting to ask if the man with her was Alex.

Candice’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, she felt someone approaching from behind.

Sonia’s eyes quickly misted, and she looked behind Candice, her voice softening. “Lex, didn’t your say you had something to deal with? Why did you come over?”

Candice pursed her lips tightly, and Alex’s deep voice sounded above her head. “It’s been taken

care of.”

Whether it was an illusion or the result of their close contact in the lounge just now, Candice kept feeling that her nose was filled with the faint scent of pine from Alex’s body.

It was profound and cold, enveloping her.

Even if she did not see him, the inexplicable sense of oppression still lingered.

Without turning back, Candice pulled Yana away, but Sonia blocked their path.

Candice could only speak softly. “Step aside.”

Her voice was naturally already somewhat dry, and deliberately lowering it made it sound even

more serious.

Meeting her sharp gaze, Sonia’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took two steps aside.
