Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 530: As time went on, she gradually came to understand her mistakes. There were things she could never achieve, no matter how hard she tried. Some people were never meant to be with her. As Erica gazed at the table laden with exquisite food, her appetite vanished. At her age, she had nothing more to ask for. All she hoped for was that Milton would not become like Arlo, and that Sigrid would not spend her life mired in pain as she had. Why did the torment and heartache of the previous generation persist? Why? Resting her head on the table, Erica was plagued by a throbbing headache.

Meanwhile, Sigrid hastily departed, the sunlight so intense that she could barely open her eyes. She was immensely frustrated. She had heard from her mother that there was no love between Erica and her husband, Arlo, despite the wealth and influence of the Lopez family. At the time, she hadn't taken it seriously, as arranged marriages were commonplace. Erica seemed weak-willed, displaying a submissive and fragile demeanor. Always maintaining a noble posture, she was incapable of acting ruthlessly. It was no wonder she couldn't win her husband's favor. Humph! Sigrid sneered.

She was different-resourceful and ambitious. How else could she have become the president of her college's Student Union or secure a place in the competitive art world? In addition to her innate talent, she relied on her cunning strategies. As long as she could marry into the Lopez family, she was certain she could make Milton fall for her. She suspected that Erica's insinuation was that Milton loved someone else. Could it be Candice? A humble lawyer, orphaned and from a bankrupt family.

Milton's interest in Candice, if there was any, would surely be a fleeting infatuation-nothing more, and certainly nothing to fear.

She would remove all obstacles in her path to win Milton's heart, including Erica! Over the next few days, Candice went to Milton's office every noon to review the materials.

Only a portion of the materials had been organized, so despite working overtime every night, she didn't stay for long. Typically, she would leave before nine o'clock. Every noon, Blair would prepare a delicious lunch with a variety of dishes. Candice would quickly finish her meal and then dive back into reading the documents, fully dedicated to her work. Milton was also extremely busy. Sometimes, he would be in video meetings, other times he'd be browsing through materials on his laptop, and occasionally, his employees would present him with a large stack of documents to sign.

Candice observed this and was astonished by his hard work. She had always considered herself dedicated and busy with her work, but she had thought that Milton had a lot of free time since he was often in her presence. She hadn't expected that he had far more tasks to handle than her, yet he remained highly efficient. . . . Message from Noah: New chapters now, and... new novels.
