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.

During the drive to the site, Candice’s phone rang.

It was Jackson on the line, his voice laden with seriousness. “Candy, the court case against your parents is about to begin. You need to be mentally prepared.”

The evidence against the two was overwhelming, particularly for Ivor. His past criminal conduct had been thoroughly unearthed and presented for legal scrutiny.

Candice felt nothing at the information.

When Ivor committed those acts, he should have considered the consequences. Her mother’s involvement, whether as an accomplice or for failing to report, made no real difference. Both had

brought it on themselves.

As she watched the landscape speed by, Candice spoke with a detached tone. “I’ll be

submitting additional evidence. I intend to charge Ivor with murder.”

She hadn’t forgotten Peach’s revelations about Ivor attacking her grandfather and tampering with his life support device. However……

Her eyes flickered with thought as she added softly, “I need to confront Yvonne. There are questions only she can answer.”

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
