Chapter 522 Another Capture

"How you holding up? You okay?" Candice, despite her youth, had plenty of experience running her family's business.

As the future heir to the family empire, she knew exactly what was on Archibald's mind.

Archibald's aunt, Celeste, had done some pretty awful things, even blackmailing Michael for half of Smith Corporation's shares.

If this got out, Archibald and the whole Lancaster family would be humiliated.

But what had Archibald done wrong? He didn't even know what was going on.

Thinking about this, Candice tried to comfort Archibald from her own perspective. "I'm a family heir too. I've been pressured by my family to study finance, go on arranged dates, marry for the family's benefit, all that stuff."

"So, from your point of view, you haven't done anything wrong. She's just your aunt, not your mom. Since she doesn't care about you, you don't need to worry about her.

"Even though you both share the Lancaster name, she married abroad a long time ago. Everything she's doing now is for her family overseas, not for you or your brother. So why should you be upset about it?"

Archibald looked up, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly. "Maybe you're right, but she was my dad's favorite sister. She..."

"But no matter what, you shouldn't have to bear all this," Candice said seriously. "Your dad, up in heaven, wouldn't want you to pay for your aunt's mistakes, right?

"It's not fair, and it's not something you should have to do, Archibald. Wake up. You have a bright future ahead of you, and your aunt is an adult. She has to face the consequences of her actions.

"If you feel guilty, you can find her for Michael and personally take her to the Emerald City police. Maybe then you'll feel better."

Archibald knew Candice was right.
