Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 478: That evening, Erica said, "All I'll say is that a clean hand needs no washing. But believe it if you think I did it. I'm done here. Do you get what I'm trying to say?" Hearing those words, Candice felt her heart break. She did everything she could to suppress her tears in that moment. "Mrs. Lopez, don't worry. Our relationship is strictly business now. I promise to do my best to handle the cases you entrusted to me perfectly." Erica glanced at Candice and said, "Don't forget what you said.

I'm aware of how competent you are at your job and want to keep relying on you in the future." She paused, then suddenly added, "You really are like your mother." After saying that, Erica walked away. Her once light, youthful gait became heavy and weary. Though she couldn't bear it, she muttered something harsh anyway. She only wished for the Lopez family to live without another negative scandal. The Lopez family had always been warm-hearted. Erica and her husband had been hurt by love. Their lives were marked by suffering.

The thought of her only son turning against his father was unbearable. Not in her world. Inside, Erica felt remorse for Candice. After all, Candice was Corrine's child. Tears welled in her eyes as she staggered away. When Erica left, Candice lost all willpower and gave up. She stepped back and rested against the railing, looking exhausted. She didn't know the details of the tragedy Erica alluded to involving the Lopez family, but Erica had made her intentions clear. She would be too shameless if she didn't firmly understand her own position. Her heart ached.

Struggling to catch her breath, she leaned on the railing. It hurt so much it felt as if her heart had been ripped from her chest. Candice hailed a taxi to go to the new office of Hope Law Firm in the subsidiary building of Royal Garden Corporation headquarters. After getting out of the taxi, she still felt dazed. Lатєst ϲhαptєrs ιn glοvєl.ｃοｍ She raised her head and looked up at the tall building, one of Royal Garden Corporation's many properties. For a moment, she was stunned. The dazzling sunlight made it hard for her to open her eyes fully.

She thought the Lopez family was like this skyscraper-sacred and unreachable, a presence she wasn't worthy to be near. What was she dreaming about? Not wanting her colleagues to see her distracted, she adjusted her mood, took a deep breath, and went to work. The new office was much more luxurious and magnificent than before. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the mountain view outside was stunning. Hope Law Firm was one of the top law firms around. Everyone in the office hadn't seen Candice in a month.

When they saw her, they shared a tacit understanding and didn't mention what had happened. They simply smiled and greeted her. . . .
