Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 221: Candice was chewing a piece of steak when Greyson spoke. No matter how delicious the food was, his commands instantly killed her appetite. It felt like she was chewing rubber. She narrowed her eyes and ignored him. Drawing a deep breath, she placed more pieces of steak into her mouth, chewing them angrily. She swallowed her food hurriedly and felt like crying. She was trying her best to appear composed. Lambert felt breathless, as if a huge stone was weighing down on his back. He realized he had really messed things up today.

Greyson was aggressive, Candice was holding back her anger, and even Milton looked like he might lose his temper at any moment. As an outsider, Lambert could clearly see the tension among the three. He wiped his sweat and hesitated for a long moment before speaking. "Mr. Harman, you are lucky to have Mrs. Harman taking care of you. It's rare for us to have dinner together. How about we discuss some business? Mr. Harman, I've heard your pharmaceutical company is developing a new drug.

Rumor has it that it will be a sensation in the medical industry, meaning you'll command a large market share in the future. No wonder you've become such a popular figure in Ploville recently." Lambert could only think to flatter Greyson to ease the tension. Just then, Milton picked up his cutlery and cut his steak steadily. The meat was fresh and tender, well-charred on the outside with a trace of pink inside. His actions seemed more forceful than usual, as if he was venting his hidden anger on the food. He lowered his head to eat the steak, unaware of Candice's anger.

Greyson, however, completely ignored Lambert's words. He was determined to make things difficult for Candice tonight, and even more, to irritate Milton. Without warning, he grabbed her wrist to stop her from eating and grumbled loudly, "What's wrong with you tonight? You used to take the initiative to do these things on our dates in the past." Candice was stunned. How could Greyson let others know about their intimate moments? Fresh updates now on glnes.cm True enough. When they were younger, Candice had hoped that her love would make Greyson love her back.

She worked hard to impress him and prioritized their bond. She was familiar with his routines and preferences for meals. In fact, it was more of a routine than a date. She often went out of her way to bring him food and even cut steak for him. She vividly remembered the size of the slice of steak she had cut for him. Despite all those efforts, she received no acknowledgment from him. In the end, she was the only one who cared about their relationship. But now, Greyson had mercilessly used her past foolishness to humiliate her. It was more than just humiliation.

In that moment, Candice couldn't help but remember how naive she had been. Her temples throbbed as she clenched her fists. To keep everyone's dignity intact, she had tried to tolerate him for as long as possible. But there was a limit to her patience. . . .
