Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 559: Milton pulled Candice up off the ground and said to Greyson, "Thank you." Greyson's demeanor shifted the moment he heard this. "I get to look after my woman, and you say thank you to me?! What a hoot!" Milton's expression soured. "To clarify, she is just your ex-wife! You are completely cut off from one another at this point. What, you haven't wrapped up your show yet? Do you still consider yourself to be her husband?" "Okay, let's see! Have you figured out how you'll handle the fact that your mother caused her miscarriage?

Do you think she'll forgive any of you for that?" Milton's mood dropped dramatically. When Greyson stepped on his tender spot, it sent him spiraling into a deep depression. A member of the ambulance crew approached and asked, "Are all of you okay? Does this lady need to be taken to the hospital for treatment?" "You don't have to. I'm taking her home so she can relax for a while." Milton turned around, holding Candice in his arms. He hoped he wouldn't run into Greyson again. He made his way across the pedestrian crossing toward Candice's house.

Greyson followed him and confronted him angrily, asking, "Do you know how to take care of a patient? Just hand her over. I'm going to take her to Harmony Hospital." He scowled disapprovingly, wanting to take Candice from Milton. Milton, however, chose to disregard Greyson and speed up. What they didn't realize was that Sigrid, who wasn't too far away, saw every single one of their movements. Sigrid was inside a black off-road vehicle, its windows covered with a dark film that made it impossible to see from outside. With a black cap pulled down low, she ensured no one could recognize her.

Earlier, when she had asked about Candice's address, she discovered that Candice's neighborhood was blocked off for the construction of a green belt. It presented a perfect opportunity to plan a car accident.

Originally, she had been late. As Candice waited at the pedestrian crossing for the traffic light to turn green, the person Sigrid had arranged hadn't arrived yet.

If Candice decided to cross the road at that moment, Sigrid's plan would fail, and she would have to wait for another chance. However, Candice remained on the same side of the road without crossing. It was a fortunate opportunity. Sigrid had carefully calculated the timing and arranged for a truck to rush toward the scene. Even the middle-aged woman who would be hit had been chosen by Sigrid. This woman knew that today was her last day. Her family was burdened with heavy debt, her daughter needed money for college, and her husband was seriously ill.

She willingly traded her own life for substantial compensation, allowing her daughter to continue her studies and her husband to receive medical treatment. It all felt natural to her. . . .
