Chapter 0272

Candice was ready to go to the site.

Descending the stairs, she stated matter–of–factly. “I won’t share a car with Mr. Elysian. It doesn’t seem fitting. Mr. Elysian knows where the site is. We’ll meet there.” After making her intentions clear, she promptly exited without waiting for a response from Alex.

Her decisive exit left Alex rooted to the spot, his facial expression growing notably colder.

Sawyer had just finished organizing the transportation for his boss. He was startled by the icy atmosphere surrounding Alex.

Upon understanding her intent, Jackson offered no further comments.

Candice was the first to arrive at the construction site. Alex’s Maybach came shortly after. With a tense expression, she guided him through the site.

Shaun Wheatly and another young man, along with a few workers, were measuring dimensions on the site.

As Candice escorted Alex to the area, Shaun halted his work. “The boss just called me. He said Mr. Elysian is coming over for an inspection, right?” He optimistically noted, “We’re almost done with most of the planning. Just the wiring to finalize, and the
