Sensing Jackson’s hesitation to discuss the matter further, Candice wisely chose not to pursue the topic.

They proceeded to the motel where Yvonne had been staying.

Upon their arrival and request for surveillance footage, the front desk staff promptly rebuffed them. “Surveillance? We don’t have anything like that here!”

The motel was a converted residential building near a hospital. It was far from luxurious. The absence of a valid business license was something Candice observed as well.

Jackson picked up on her mood and reassured her gently. “Don’t worry, I’m with you in this.”

After spending a night at home to rest, Candice returned to the villa the next day. She was still contemplating how to approach the issue of Alex’s injury.

Jessica suddenly spoke up as they were about to walk past each other, “Candice, right?”

Candice paused and said, “Ms. Kane.”

“Don’t let Helen’s words bother you,” Jessica advised. “That’s just her way.
