Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 233: Milton beamed. "I couldn't agree more. The food was delicious. We'll definitely be back." "Great! Have a good night!" Lara beamed from ear to ear. It was a great honor to have such distinguished guests dine at her humble stall. Milton's praise had truly made her day. Candice stood up, picked up the bag, and bid farewell to Lara before exiting the stall. Milton followed her out and asked, "I noticed you have a lot of cash in your bag. Why carry so much with you? It's not safe." He had noticed a big wad of cash in her bag earlier-at least tens of thousands.

It was not only heavy but also put her at great risk. Nowadays, cash was seldom used since most people used cards. Candice shot him an annoyed glance. "It's all because of you," Candice replied with a hint of frustration in her voice. "Many places don't accept payment from my cards, so I have to carry cash everywhere I go." Milton was taken aback. It was all because of her supreme VIP status. She didn't have to pay for anything at Milton's establishments since her cards had been locked by the system.

But since Milton's business extended to various services in Ploville, Candice had few alternatives but to spend money at his stores. Milton's expression darkened as he realized that she still refused to use his money. Instead, she preferred carrying a hefty sum of cash around. He stopped in his tracks and looked into the dark night with a cold expression. Unaware of Milton's mood, Candice continued walking ahead. Suddenly, a group of technical school students passed by, their arms slung around each other's shoulders.

Spotting Candice's striking beauty and figure under the streetlamp, they let out a whistle. However, upon noticing the man with the ominous expression trailing behind Candice, they quickly fell silent and prudently avoided any confrontation. Milton hastened his steps and got closer to Candice, pulling her toward him. He fished out his phone and dialed the number of the police chief.

I've personally witnessed three separate incidents of street violence and attempted sexual assault. You need to step up patrols and tighten public security management. How much longer do you think you can keep your position?" On the other end of the line, Officer Hamilton apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lopez. Public security has been a bit chaotic recently. I'll increase patrols at night, especially in the demolished area. Thank you for the heads-up." After Milton ended the call, Candice looked at him with a perplexed expression. "Three incidents? But those were just technical school students.

They weren't thugs, were they? They had no bad intentions." As she tried to recall the incidents, she realized she was only aware of two. The first was when Madilyn had sent people to attack her, and Milton had whisked her away on his motorcycle. The second was when Grady had sent goons to surround her and seize incriminating evidence. When had the third occurred? . . .
