Chapter 264

Alex’s words were sarcastic and Candice felt as if her heart was being ruthlessly squeezed.

She looked at Alex, feeling that the face she was looking at was somewhat foreign.

He was so protective of Sonia that he noticed her tiny bit of suspicion and immediately shut it down strongly.

“Lex…” Sonia reacted, and her already red eyes suddenly turned redder. It was only then that she seemed to understand the probing in Candice’s words, and said hoarsely. “Candice, have you misunderstood something about me? If you want to ask something, can you just say it directly? I’m not as smart as you and don’t understand what you mean.” She submissively pulled Alex’s sleeve. “Lex don’t be angry. Candice has encountered so many bad things recently, we should be considerate.”

Alex continued to look at Candice, his voice deep. “You now make it difficult for me not to suspect that you are deliberately delaying time.” He checked the time and reminded her quietly. “My appointment with you was nine o’clock. How long are you going to delay it because of your silly suspicions?”

His impatient look made Candice feel a pang of pain. Her grandpa had always been good to Alex, and even when he went to ask for a talisman for her every year, he would also get one for Alex. How could Alex say such words so coldly and sarcastically now?

He wouldn’t even allow her to suspect Sonia at all Had he never taken her grandfather seriously

at all?

Sonia stood next to Alex, looking as if she was very righteous. She comforted Candice softly. Candice, I know you feel bad, but can you please stop looking at me with that expression…” She murmured. I’m scared of making you upset.”

With that one sentence, Sonia had made Candice a bully.

Candice looked at Alex, and she felt bitter in her heart. All she could think of was how ridiculous

everything was.

She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment, suppressing her emotions. She still had
