The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 706

Karl said, "Candida, I've gotten used to seeing your life unfold every day after work. If you ever need money, just tell me. Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you.

Tomorrow, I'll have my assistant increase the limit on your card by another ten thousand.

There's no need for you to work anymore. Let me take care of you, alright?”

Back then, swept away by his sweet words, Candida still managed to stay somewhat clear-headed.

"I don't work for the money. I just really love playing the piano."

But Karl pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Candida, could the piano ever be more important than me?"

Of course, the piano wasn't more important than Karl.

In the end, Candida gave in.

Now, as she caught Karl's contemplative gaze, a chill crept over her, making her hands and feet go cold.

Would he really go so far as to ruin her hands?

As if reading her mind, Karl met her fearful eyes, a slow, self-satisfied smile curling at his lips.

"Candida, you're my woman. No matter what, I'd never hurt you."

Candida wanted to ask if he thought he hadn't hurt her enough already.
