Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 87: "Miss Blake, please tell us your expectations. I suggest we settle this here and avoid taking it to court," Judge Fletcher said in his authoritative voice, bringing Candice back to the present. However, she remained silent. Judge Fletcher continued, "I have a general idea of what happened. According to the evidence you have provided, it is a fact that Mr. Lopez violated you. That night, the entry guard system and the monitoring system on the top floor of the hotel were both broken. Mr. Lopez's room was Room 8308, but he accidentally entered Room 8307.

To confirm the other facts, we need to further investigate and find evidence." After a short pause, he added, "You are both public figures in Ploville, especially Mr. Lopez. I strongly suggest that you discuss everything here and try to settle privately. Taking this to court won't be good for either of you." Judge Fletcher looked at Candice intently as he spoke. It was clear she was the one he was trying to persuade. Milton, on the other hand, stared coldly at the woman sitting opposite him. With the hat and mask concealing her face, it was difficult to tell what she looked like.

She reminded him of the woman he had seen in Jenry Building standing next to Greyson. Could she be that woman? She looked so weak, and he didn't like her one bit. They seemed to be about the same size. Milton felt disgusted just sitting across from her. The thought of how he had touched her that night made him shiver. Even for a minute, he didn't want to spend time in her presence or see her. All he wanted now was to get rid of this woman and get it over with. However, he wanted it done discreetly. He couldn't risk Candy finding out about it.

It was like an indelible stain that he couldn't wash away. Despite the judge's words, Candice still said nothing. Judge Fletcher then turned to Milton and said, "Mr. Lopez, perhaps you should tell us your expectations." Mσrε υpdαтes ιn Gαlnσνels.cσm Candice almost scoffed at their hearing. As a judge, it was ridiculous how he was showing respect to the defendant. What did he expect? The rich always found a way, even within the law. Milton's face hardened as he prepared to speak. His voice was colder as he said carefully, "To end this right now, I'll give you one billion.

That's more than enough for you to spend even in your next life. All I ask in exchange is that you forget what happened that night. Don't be too greedy, and don't come to me threatening me with a baby. If you are pregnant, you will have an abortion, no matter what it costs me. Even if you insist on giving birth, it will never be my heir." Judge Fletcher's eyes widened in disbelief at the amount Milton was willing to offer. One billion! Who would refuse that amount of money? However, Candice wasn't impressed. Every word Milton uttered was like a sharp blade pressing into her heart.

She touched her belly unconsciously. Sadly, she was pregnant. And did he just say he would kill the baby if she was pregnant? He was cruel and cold-blooded. If she hadn't heard it herself, she wouldn't have believed he had such a ruthless side. People could be very surprising. Suddenly, she stood up with her hands on the table. Slowly, she clenched her fists and crumpled the document she was holding. She was so angry that her hands trembled. She raised her head and looked straight into Milton's eyes. The coldness in her gaze was frightening. Her eyes were so sharp.

They looked very familiar too. Why did he feel like he knew her? Milton looked down at her trembling wrist. She was wearing a familiar wristband. Suddenly, he recalled last night-Candice had the same wristband on her left wrist. She said it was to protect the invaluable bracelet. Milton almost gasped. He was shocked. No, it couldn't be. He rushed toward her and, without any warning, reached out and removed her mask. . . .
