Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 318: She hesitated for a moment, then decided to hang up. During the day, Candice was more willing to answer Greyson's calls, as she could always attribute it to work. But at night, she didn't want her free time taken up by him. She was no longer the girl who blindly admired and worshiped him, even when he showed no care for her. She had the courage to devote herself completely to Greyson, but she could just as easily take that devotion back. Over time, her attitude towards him had transformed completely.

She was no longer consumed by the pain of abandonment, divorce, and humiliation. Even when thinking of the past, she felt calm rather than hurt. At that moment, Candice focused on reviewing the surveillance footage. Back then, she had entrusted her case to Mona and hadn't yet watched the public area footage submitted by the Crowne Hotel, which recorded the events of her wedding night. As Mona had explained, the monitoring system on her floor malfunctioned that night, causing the access control system to fail as well. The hotel's explanation was that the incoming line had shorted out.

But Candice couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It seemed too coincidental that both the surveillance system and access control system failed simultaneously. The chances of that happening naturally were very low. It felt like foul play. Candice long suspected that Madilyn and Rachel had conspired against her. However, the public area video provided no concrete evidence. There was no indication that the drinks she had consumed or the wine at the scene had been drugged; perhaps any traces had already been wiped away.

Candice couldn't help but wonder if someone else was behind Madilyn's actions. After all, Madilyn wasn't known for being a mastermind. gαℓησνs․com, home to unforgettable stories But who could it be? She racked her brain, trying to figure out who she had offended enough to warrant such a complex trap. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. In the surveillance video, she spotted Milton's figure in the public area. The surveillance video became crucial evidence leading to Milton's conviction. The time and place were exact, leaving Milton no choice but to face the lawsuit.

Candice focused intently on the screen, determined not to miss any details. Milton had never explained what happened that night. Though they had grown closer recently, he remained reserved and never crossed any boundaries. Candice admired Milton's self-control. His behavior on her wedding night was unlike anything she would have expected from him. She had lost her virginity unexpectedly, and the divorce that followed caused her immense pain. Her anger clouded her judgment at the time. But as a law student, she knew better than to let emotions rule her.

With time, she began to suspect something was wrong. . . .
