Candice hadn’t spent much time with Shawn, but she knew that when Alex was a child in the

Elysian family, he always stayed by Shawn’s side.

Candice used to accompany Alex to spend time with Shawn, who would often say that she would be the Elysian family’s granddaughter–in–law in the future.

Unlike Daniel and Helen, Shawn genuinely liked her.

Candice remembered the first time she went to meet Shawn with Alex he had given her his blessings. In her presence, he also educated Alex, emphasizing the importance of treating his wife well

However, precisely because of this, she was somewhat reluctant to see him. She didn’t want to hear his regrets about their relationship. More importantly, she didn’t want to pretend in front of Alex as if everything was fine.

But before she could express her refusal, she heard Alex say, “If you don’t go to see him, he’ll probably come to find you.”

Indeed, that was something Shawn would do. Alex’s stubbornness was influenced to a great

extent by Shawn.

Between breaths, she struggled with conflicting emotions. Eventually, she nodded. “I’ll go see him.

He acknowledged with a casual “Hmm,” not paying much attention. “I’ll pick you up when it’s time.

Candice remained silent. While Alex could be stern and decisive when dealing with outsiders, he was quite accommodating with those close to him. Examples included Shawn and Jessica. For

someone like her, who wasn’t as intimate, he could be ruthless.

As her thoughts churned, she followed Alex into the construction area.

Ryan happened to be outside, and upon seeing them, raised an eyebrow. “Is Mr. Elysian here to

supervise again?”

His tone was unfriendly, and Alex gave him a glance before entering directly.

Following Alex, Candice heard Ryan’s indifferent voice, “Hanley is inside.”
