Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 340: It didn't make sense at all. She shook her head, trying to dismiss the strange thought. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that he wore a similar perfume. Maybe she was just being overly sensitive. Without any solid evidence, she couldn't jump to conclusions just yet. But if her hunch was right... Suddenly, she lifted her head and landed her icy gaze on Milton. Could it have something to do with the man in front of her? "What's wrong?" Milton noticed her odd expression and quickly dragged her over to his desk.

He shut the blinds that connected them to the outside world and gently placed his hands on her slender shoulders. Through the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, the city's skyline filled their view. Many tall buildings and bridges stood in the distance, while the majestic Sowley Mountain loomed ahead of them. The peak, covered in snow year-round, shimmered in the silver light. It was a breathtaking sight to behold. The headquarters of the Royal Garden Corporation, along with Milton's office, occupied the most prestigious location in Ploville. It was a symbol of immense wealth and power.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Candice finally spoke up. "Earlier in the meeting room, I mentioned that your team of lawyers might not have thoroughly reviewed Quermac's national situation. But what if they didn't make a mistake at all?" Milton narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" "You have a team of legal elites. If I could spot it, why hasn't any of them noticed it before? Or maybe they deliberately hid it from you?" Candice looked straight into his eyes and asked, "Is someone working against you?" g Ɐ lnσ ν ℓs․com, your storytelling home Milton's demeanor became tense.

He knew there were people working against him. People like Bart, whom she had encountered outside his office. Bart had always harbored a desire to bring Milton down. "Do you suspect foul play?" His eyes turned cold. If someone were truly working behind his back, it could inflict massive harm on the group-it would be catastrophic. "It's just a hunch. You need to dig deeper for more information," Candice reminded him. "Right. I understand." Milton nodded. "I have to get going." As Candice was about to turn around, Milton firmly held her in place. "Wait," he said seriously.

"You haven't told me yet. Why did you help me today?" Candice looked away awkwardly, not wanting to make eye contact. "I mean, since I discovered the problem, I couldn't just pretend not to see it. Consider it part of my job." . . .
