Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 383: She sneered with a hint of disdain and turned to face him. "Should I just let them frame me? Should I just wait to be hurt? I can't fight back? I can't protect myself, right?" "I didn't mean it like that." Greyson reached out and pressed her shoulder with his other hand. "You could have talked to me about it. I would have believed you." His tone softened, and his eyes grew serious. At first, Candice was taken aback by the change in his demeanor. She realized he wasn't joking. She smiled awkwardly before saying, "Sorry, Greyson. I just don't trust you.

To me, you're no different from them." After a brief pause, she added with a faint smile, "Let's not forget that you were called away by Madilyn on our wedding night. If you had stayed, would everything have happened? And when Madilyn hired people to kill me, she claimed it was you who ordered it. Can you honestly say you didn't want me to disappear back then?" "Nonsense!" Greyson roared. "I never even thought of that. I had no idea Madilyn was planning to kill you. If only I had known, I would have..." He suddenly stopped and didn't finish his sentence.

Even if Greyson had known that Candice was set up to lose her virginity on their wedding night, he wasn't sure what he would have done at the time. He took a deep breath and softened his tone once more. "I take responsibility for what happened, but I never wanted you to disappear! How could you suspect me?" No matter how much he might have misunderstood her in the past, he would never want her to die. Candice smiled casually. "It doesn't matter anymore. I know now, and I figured it out later-that you wouldn't have been involved. But isn't it a crime to indulge them? To turn a blind eye?

I almost died because of that! Even what happened today is the same." Greyson didn't respond. She was right. He had gone upstairs to find her, not to argue with her.

As soon as Greyson took a step forward, he felt Candice's resistance. He turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Why won't you come with me?" Candice pulled her arm out with all her strength and said, "Now that you know the truth, I have nothing else to say to you.

Since our divorce has been exposed tonight, please give me the divorce decree." At the mention of the divorce decree, Greyson couldn't control himself anymore. Suddenly, he realized something and pulled her towards him. Caught off guard, Candice fell into his arms, and he firmly held her waist. Greyson's body burned with heat and his heart pounded wildly, his rapid breath betraying his hidden anger. Candice couldn't help but feel inexplicably afraid of him. "You deliberately exposed everything, didn't you?

Just so you could announce our divorce in public and get the decree for Milton's sake?" . . .
