Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 236: "Put your jacket back on. It's not appropriate to be half-dressed in public," she said sourly, motioning toward his jacket, then looked away. Milton's lips curled into a satisfied smile at her concern but chose not to press the matter further. After a short wait, Milton's Bentley pulled up. The driver stepped out of the car and respectfully opened the door for them. "Please, Mr. Lopez," he said. When the driver looked up, he was taken aback to see Candice. He recognized her as the woman who had thrown away the contraceptive pills in the rain right in front of him.

He hadn't expected such a subtle connection between her and his employer. The driver hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uh, Miss Blake, please." Candice stepped into the car. Once she was seated, the driver closed the door behind her. Candice gave the driver the address. "No. 109, Starsea Street. Thank you." She said nothing more. An awkward silence filled the car. Luckily, the ride to Candice's residence was short, and the car smoothly navigated through the neon-lit night. Before long, they arrived at their destination.

As Candice reached for the door handle, Milton, who had been silent until then, suddenly reached out and stopped her. "Wait a minute. Please reconsider your decision to terminate your contract as my personal attorney." Without hesitation, Candice firmly replied, "No, I've already made up my mind." She was determined to keep her distance from him. Anticipating her reaction, Milton pulled a key from his pocket and placed it in Candice's hand. "Don't rush to refuse me." Candice immediately recognized the key-it was for her house. He had purchased the Blake family villa.

I'll pay you twelve years' worth of consulting fees in advance." Candice was taken aback by the offer. According to the contract, the base salary for one year was five million, which totaled sixty million for twelve years-the exact value of the Blake family villa. Milton's proposal was clear: he was offering to pay her twelve years of consulting fees upfront by returning the house to her.

Candice had expected Milton to use the house as leverage or try to convince her to drop the lawsuit to protect his reputation, but his offer completely caught her off guard. She never imagined he would propose such a solution. Despite her initial resistance, Candice couldn't help but feel her resolve wavering. Knowing that he had saved her that fateful night softened her heart. . . .
