Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 10: Rachel interjected condescendingly, "It's all your mother's fault, Candice." "Shut up!" Candice's anger flared instantly, and her whole body trembled with rage. Even her eyes looked terrifying. "Don't insult my mother!" she snapped. She could turn a deaf ear when they humiliated her and trampled on her, but she wouldn't tolerate it if they insulted her mother. Rachel was intimidated by the fury in Candice's eyes and wanted to retort. However, Madilyn, who had been sobbing the entire time, cried even louder before eventually passing out.

Greyson reacted quickly and caught Madilyn firmly in his arms before she fell to the floor. Rachel shrieked in horror, "Maddy! Oh my God! Call an ambulance!" Greyson assured Rachel as he gently settled Madilyn on the floor, "Don't worry. She just fainted from hypoglycemia. I can handle it." He knelt on both knees and gave Madilyn thirty chest compressions skillfully. Greyson had studied medicine in college. If it weren't for his family, he might have become one of the best heart surgeons by now. However, he had to continue his family's legacy and elevate it to greater heights.

After thirty compressions, he stopped and glanced at Candice subconsciously. He then leaned closer to Madilyn. Without hesitation, he pressed his thin lips against Madilyn's pale lips and gave her resuscitation. He then took out a medicine he was carrying and sprayed it into Madilyn's mouth. Finally, Madilyn came to her senses. Candice stood by the side, observing the entire process coldly. She couldn't tell if Madilyn had pretended to pass out or not. Regardless, Greyson gave Madilyn mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in front of her.

Moreover, he had Madilyn's medicine with him, showing how much he cared for her. For a moment, Candice felt uncomfortable. Her heart was broken, and it ached. She reminded herself that they were divorced. Although the divorce couldn't be made public yet, they were already drifting apart. As such, it shouldn't matter who Greyson was gentle or intimate with. It had nothing to do with her. Explore fresh tales at g aln ov el s ; com To outsiders, she was a renowned lawyer who had won many cases for her clients. However, she couldn't defy a single blow from him.

She had lost everything, including her dignity to him. Rachel took advantage of the opportunity and threw Candice's suitcase ruthlessly out the door. She cursed viciously, "You slept with another man on your wedding night. Do you have no sense of shame? Get out now! Get out!" Suddenly, a loud sound was heard. It was hard to tell whether it was the sound of thunder or the sound of Candice's suitcase being thrown out. The suitcase rolled down several steps and finally stopped on the ground. The mother and son were eager to kick her out.

She turned around and left through the door, not wanting to see the affectionate couple in front of her anymore. She walked out of the house and down the cold steps. Suddenly, she recalled a line from a book she had read: "I look into the night, starry sky, but none of the stars shines for me." It suited the moment. She sneered and quickened her pace. When she reached the final step, she accidentally missed it and was about to fall. However, someone supported her just in time. She staggered a little before balancing herself again. It was Greyson.

His handsome face was cold against the dark night. He released his grip and didn't touch her anymore. He just stood there on one of the steps. At that moment, they were very close, yet it felt as if they were worlds apart. Greyson frowned as he looked at her. Even though she had slept with another man on their wedding night, he felt an unexpected urge to keep her by his side. . . .
