Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 157: Milton met her gaze and smiled warmly. "I don't, but I could use some lessons," he admitted, shaking his head. Candice couldn't help but wonder what was going on inside this guy's head. Milton looked at Candice with satisfaction. He liked how she had just defended him. He was very happy. The two times she had left with Greyson now felt like distant memories because of his current state of happiness. Candice had no idea what was running through his mind. She said, "The calls coming from Thonde start with 00536. Always keep that in mind. Ignore any calls from Thonde.

The first inquiry into this matter ended after I took responsibility for it. It's much harder than I thought. All their moves seem like traps in a professional blackmail scheme. People around the world don't trust or respect that nation. Since they resorted to unethical means to get your phone number, it shows how well they know your abilities and background. They want to involve you and your organization in this problem because they stand to gain a lot from it. It's an international litigation, so you need to protect yourself carefully. Don't fall for their tricks easily.

In Thonde, our case has zero chance of success. Their judicial system is overly opaque. That's why I filed it with the International Court and requested a personal protection order on your behalf. Am I clear?" Candice frowned, thinking he wasn't paying attention. Suddenly, she realized he was staring at her chest. She looked down to see what caught his eye. Only then did she notice her wet clothes clung tightly to her chest, barely covering her. Candice muttered an expletive and quickly grabbed her coat to cover herself. But Milton made no effort to change his stance or look away.

Candice's anger turned to his cocky attitude. He looked as if he owned what he was staring at, so comfortable and blatant. Indignantly, Candice asked, "Did you hear anything I just said?" Milton replied, "Didn't catch a thing." Lɒtєѕτ ϲнαρτєrs ιn glovєls. Despite his endless admiration for her, he wasn't in the mood to listen to a word she said. At that, Candice was left speechless. "I'll obey your every instruction concerning the case." Milton had faith in her competence as a professional since he had seen it firsthand.

Candice scratched aimlessly between her eyebrows and murmured, "Your phone has the ability to record automatically, right? Instantly forward the recorded call to me." Milton pointed to her phone and said, "Accept my friend request first." Candice hesitated for a moment before recalling that she had neglected to respond to Milton's friend request long ago. "What?" Milton's voice rose as he said, "How can I send you the recording if you don't accept my friend request?" . . .
