Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 289: She paid close attention to the necklace around Candice's neck. It was magnificent and chic, but it wasn't the one Greyson had bought. That made Madilyn feel extremely relieved. The last thing she wanted was to find out Greyson had bought an extravagant piece of jewelry for his bitch of an ex-wife, Candice. Lately, Madilyn had been feeling that she couldn't reach Greyson anymore. With a disgusted look, Candice snapped, "That's enough. Get out! Now!" At that moment, a calm male voice filled the lobby.

"What are you doing here?" Hearing the voice, Candice raised her head and stared wide-eyed at the newcomer. It was Greyson. That morning, when Greyson said he wanted to meet her, she refused. She hadn't expected him to show up at the law firm and find Rachel and Madilyn there. It was quite a show. Rachel was shocked to hear Greyson's voice. Her face drained of all color instantly. She and Madilyn had come to Candice's workplace to cause trouble, and now Greyson had witnessed it. For a moment, Rachel didn't know how to explain herself. "I..." Rachel stammered.

Madilyn immediately stepped forward. She didn't dare touch his arm because he had warned her to keep her distance. "What are you doing here, Greyson? We were just in the neighborhood and thought we'd drop by Candice's office. We were curious, so we came to have a look." It was a blatant lie that rolled easily off Madilyn's tongue. She couldn't let Greyson know they had come to confront Candice. "'Drop by?'" Greyson echoed, casting a sharp glance at Madilyn. "Curious?" Madilyn lowered her head. Her lie hadn't fooled Greyson as she'd hoped.

Fortunately, she hadn't spoken rudely to Candice-it had been Rachel doing all the talking since they arrived. Every tale finds a home at gⱯlnσνℓs․com Rachel still felt deeply wronged. She was Greyson's elder and believed she deserved better than her current situation. "Greyson, I am the hostess of the Harman family. Have you really given Candice the right to control our family's finances? She's an outsider. You have already-" Before she could finish, Greyson interrupted, "Give it a rest. Do you really think I don't know how much money you've wasted all these years?

Since you don't know how to manage the family's finances, just give it up. I'm still willing to give you two million every month. I'll also cover all the major expenses. Isn't that enough?" Rachel was speechless. Yes, she wasted a lot of money. But she was the hostess of the Harman family and believed she had every right to spend as she wished. She glared at Candice, as if Candice... Candice was the one who had taken everything from her.

Candice shrugged and reasoned, "I haven't taken a penny from the Harman family." Rachel snapped, "Isn't your family's company the one Greyson intends to purchase? Don't think I don't know that." . . .
