Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 547: Candice was shocked to see Milton there. Why had he come to the charity event? She hadn't told him anything about her plans for the day. Meanwhile, reporters crowded forward. "Mr. Lopez, do you know anything about the alleged cheating in today's drawing?" "Some claim this woman seduced the heir of Warren Building Materials and is now seeking revenge on him. What are your thoughts on this?" "Mr. Lopez, since you say she is your woman, did you buy her all those luxury brand clothes?" Some reporters even asked blatantly gossipy questions. Milton sneered and replied confidently.

"Would my woman ever lack money? I can provide her with anything she desires. Warren Building Materials is insignificant." He turned his head, firmly grasping Candice's chin with one hand, locking his deep gaze onto hers. After a few seconds, he unexpectedly leaned down to kiss her. Candice reacted immediately. What was he trying to do? Did he really intend to kiss her in front of everyone? He must be out of his mind. Not to mention the public setting-the reporters' cameras were only a few feet away. Her instinct told her to dodge his kiss.

In a hushed tone, Milton said, "Play along with me." Without waiting for her response, he kissed her on the lips, leaving her with no choice but to comply. Candice's eyes widened in astonishment. She could hardly believe the lengths this man would go. Milton boldly kissed her in public, and his kiss carried an undertone of chastisement. She had stopped him from kissing her that morning? Fine. Then he would just kiss her publicly. In such a setting, Milton couldn't prolong the kiss. He didn't want others witnessing her captivating expression afterward.

"I don't want the scene you just witnessed reported on any platform. If anyone shares what happened without permission, well..." He sneered. "Expect an invitation for your director to visit my office." Pausing briefly, he held Candice tightly and added, "Additionally, her name is not to appear in any report. Her face must be blurred in every photo." Milton had no intention of keeping Corless' cheating scandal hidden.

It was, after all, advantageous for him. All the reporters understood they could only publish approved content. Mr. Lopez clearly wanted to protect the woman by his side. Candice remained dazed, turning her head to the side. Her face was flushed, and her heart raced as she struggled to control her breathing. This was why she feared his kisses. . . .
