Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 298: As it turned out, Milton and Candice had been accidentally locked together in a cold storage that fateful night. No wonder Milton caught a cold and couldn't compete in the chemistry competition the next day. Greyson took a deep breath, trying to process the unexpected revelation. He never imagined Candice would mistake him for her savior and fall in love with him. With their parents' help, she had even spent three years with him. He had always assumed Candice genuinely loved him, but now he realized it had been a misunderstanding from the start.

If Candice had discovered it was Milton long ago, would their connection still be the same? The more Greyson thought about it, the more agitated he became. He started the luxury car and sped toward the seaside. Greyson turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting. The cold wind pressed against him and cleared his mind. Since discovering the truth, should he let her go? Should he maintain only a cooperative relationship with her? Just as she said, she wanted the truth-and he had gotten rid of a business enemy.

His logical mind told him this was the best choice, as the Harman family's success was all that mattered. His goal was to restore his family to its peak. However, his emotions made him hesitate. He found himself unwilling to let go. As he drove to the seaside, he lit a cigarette. He let the smoke swirl around him, reflecting on the past three years spent with her. It was impossible. She had never hidden her feelings for him. He had clearly felt her attraction and had been disgusted by it.

He convinced himself that even if the beginning was a misunderstanding, it was still valid-and gradually Candice had fallen for him. Mⱺɍɇ Ʉρȡąţɇş ĩŋ ɢąłņøνɇłş.çøɱ It didn't seem like Candice knew the truth, and Milton probably wouldn't remember such a small detail anyway. Greyson decided it was best to pretend he didn't know. Why trouble himself? And why fix it? After finishing his cigarette, he composed himself. Candice's behavior only made him want to hold on to her even tighter. In the afternoon, the hearing progressed smoothly and concluded without issue.

The case was quite complicated, and Candice had prepared for it extensively. After opening statements, a fierce cross-examination, closing statements, and two recesses, the judge finally announced the jury's decision: Candice had won. Walking out of the courtroom, she called Bettina. . . .
