Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 553: He felt justified in his anger and questioned, "Corless didn't know you were the lawyer of his victim. You exposed yourself to him. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?" "Retaliation?" Candice replied coldly. "Sooner or later, Corless would discover that I'm Belinda's acting lawyer. As long as I'm out in the open, he won't dare retaliate against me. Today's event has made a significant impact, and the media is watching closely. He wouldn't dare do anything. If something bad happens to me, even a fool would know it's him.

I'm exposing myself to protect myself." Milton pursed his lips, realizing he couldn't out-argue her. Her reasoning made sense, but most of it seemed unreasonable. It was already risky for a woman to be in this profession, yet she made herself visible everywhere. It was truly a hassle. "Protect yourself? But what if that's not enough to protect you? You're putting too much confidence in this. And you're underestimating the darkness in people like Corless. I need to find someone to get rid of him.

At the very least, I should teach him a lesson so he won't act recklessly." As Milton spoke, he took out his phone, intending to contact someone. Seeing this, Candice swiftly grabbed his phone. "No, don't get involved." Milton frowned. "Why not? Dealing with him is easy." Candice shook her head. "Aren't you planning to acquire Warren Building Materials? They don't know your intentions yet. If you do this, they'll be on high alert. That's not fun." Milton was puzzled. "What do you mean?" Candice clarified, "Corless's trial is scheduled to begin soon.

If his charges are proven true, it could lead to a major scandal that rapidly plummets Warren Building Materials' stock price. You wait for the price to drop, sever their source of capital, and soon enough, Warren Building Materials will be drowning in debt and worthless. And when you initiate the acquisition during that time, it'll be a much better deal, won't it? We need to make these scumbags witness true justice." Despair. "Plus, you lost a hundred million today because of these bastards. You have to find a way to recover the money." . Milton was taken aback.

She actually felt sorry for him for losing a hundred million today? She had mentioned it twice already. Undeniably, the approach she just outlined was quite ideal, although Milton didn't care about the amount he spent on purchasing Warren Building Materials. Money was merely a set of numbers to him. But it would be satisfying if Corless and Cathy could experience rock bottom. Cathy had once trapped him and Candice in a cold storage room. For him, it was all water under the bridge. But for Candice, it had been a distressing experience. Milton stared at Candice momentarily. "What a surprise.

So you're ruthless when dealing with scumbags. Well, they don't have much of a choice now. I could eliminate them right away." "In a situation where the outcome is clear, you have to relish the process of winning," Candice remarked. The longer it took, the more agonizing it would be for Corless. Slowly, he would begin to see himself as someone who had achieved nothing, trapped in despair with no way out. Such helplessness suited a scumbag like him, who had committed numerous wrongdoings. Belinda wasn't Corless' first victim. He had harmed many other girls.

And from what Candice knew, Cathy was an accomplice. The shameless siblings should pay the price. . . .
