Chapter 0254

Alex’s expression wasn’t good; he stared at Candice with a slight furrow in his brow.

Her expression remained unchanged. She seemed devoid of emotions or thoughts, like a walking

corpse.

Even when she went in and told the police she wanted to sue Ivor, It was just a routine action. She wasn’t willing to share any more time or energy than necessary.

Alex didn’t speak, and Candice didn’t either. They just silently looked at each other.

It wasn’t until Hanley spoke from the side, “Mr. Elysian, could you please move? You’re blocking the way,” that Candice sighed first.

She lowered her gaze to her own toes, and her voice, so light it could almost float away, said, “I’ve been busy with work for so many years that I never really accompanied him. Now, in his final moments, can you let me have some peace?”

Alex’s brows furrowed even tighter. Candice looked at Hanley and said, “Could you please take care of things here for me?”

Hanley took off his coat and draped it over her. His tone softened as he spoke, “Call me anytime if you need anything.”

She nodded, then lifted her leg and walked away.

Candice thought she should be with him. Otherwise, he might not find her, and he would be

anxious.

As she walked away, the gentleness on Hanley’s face dissipated. He looked at Alex and said, “Mr. Elysian, if you have matters to attend to, go ahead. I’ll take care of things for Ms. Renault.”

Alex, with a heavy and cold expression between his brows, coldly sneered, “If you have so much free time, I’m sure Caspian would be happy to find you some work.”

Hanley remained unfazed. He raised his eyebrows slightly and retorted, “Mr. Elysian, instead of meddling in others‘ affairs, it might be better to deal with your own family matters first.”

Having said that, he was about to leave, but Alex’s chilly voice stopped him.
