Chapter 0276

After assisting Candice with her coat, Hanley retracted his hand. He resumed his usual serious expression as his shirt gently billowed in the soft breeze.

Candice caught the faint scent of mint and lemon emanating from Hanley, subtle yet comforting.

She had thought about giving the coat back to Hanley since she had brought her own blazer. However, the arrival of a sleek silver–white sports car and a black Maybach derailed her plans.

Candice hesitated for a moment upon noticing the Maybach’s license plate.

As the sports car’s door swung open, Sieg emerged, clad in a floral shirt. He nonchalantly removed his sunglasses and flung them back into the car before turning his attention to Candice

and the others.

He let out a whistle. Then, he eyed Hanley with a quizzical look and asked, “Hanley Baldwin?”

Hanley responded with a chilly gaze, “Hello, Sieg.”

“Caspian and I are on good terms these days. I’ve heard quite a lot about you,” Sieg commented casually, his tone laced with a semblance of respect. “You’re quite courageous and admirable.

really.”

Sieg’s manner of speaking was characteristically sarcastic, often leaving others feeling uneasy.

He then turned to Candice, his voice laced with a sneer as he stated, “But you don’t have the best taste in women. Maybe you could learn from your brother on that front.”

Knowing she and Sieg were not on friendly terms, Candice hadn’t anticipated any kind words from

him.

With a subtle adjustment of the coat on her shoulders, she retorted icily. “It seems like you’ve forgotten your hospital visits again. Your symptoms of rabies appear to be worsening.”

Sieg’s expression tightened as he sharply replied, “You…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the Maybach swung open.

Alex emerged from the car dressed in a dark, sharply tailored suit that accentuated his slender build, broad shoulders, and narrow waist, presenting an impressive silhouette. His stern gaze and the depth of his dark eyes appeared more profound in the fading light of the sky.

His eyes settled on Candice indifferently.

Undaunted, she held his gaze firmly.
