Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 239: "Yep, that's the one. What's up with it?" Bettina replied. "Do me a favor and ask if there are any vacant apartments available. I want to rent one," Candice requested. "Why do you need an apartment? And who do you want to rent it for?" Bettina asked, fully aware that Candice had no relatives or friends who needed an apartment. Suddenly, Bettina's tone shifted as she exclaimed, "Wait a minute, Candy! You're leaving Greyson's place?!" Her voice rose to a near-shriek. The volume caught Candice off guard, and she felt like her eardrums were ringing. "Yes," she replied firmly.

"I've decided to move out. If there's an apartment available, I can move in today or tomorrow without any issues." Candice was determined to leave, and she had very few possessions to pack. Bettina was taken aback. "Oh my goodness! Can you tell me why? Something major must have happened to make you want to leave. Spill the beans." "Nothing much happened. I fell out with him." Candice took a deep breath before admitting to Bettina, "Actually, Betty, I want to give up the patent." Bettina was shocked. "What?! Give up the patent? You've been fighting for it for so long.

The new drug hasn't even hit the market yet. Why would you want to give it up now? I'm not saying you should stay at Greyson's, but I can't imagine what you've been through..." Candice replied softly, "I'm fine, really. I just realized that if my mother were still alive, she wouldn't care about these superficial titles. Is this truly what she would want to see me fight for?" Furthermore, Candice thought to herself that if her mother were still here, she wouldn't want her daughter to endure any humiliation. She would want her to be happy and live a fulfilling life.

Candice added, "Plus, it'll be more convenient for me to work if I move closer to the law firm." She chuckled and said, "I'll work harder and finally have a good life." Bettina responded, "I see. I'll make some calls and see if I can find you an apartment. I'll even ask my brother to evict one of his tenants if I have to." With that, she hung up the phone in a rush. "Hello..."

But that was what made her such a great friend. After the call, Candice got up to wash her face and then began packing her belongings. One hour later, Bettina called back with the news that an apartment had been secured for her and that staff from a moving company would arrive at five in the afternoon. Impulsive as she was, Bettina was certainly efficient! At noon, Candice ordered lunch and threw away all the remaining items in the fridge before cleaning it thoroughly. . . .
