Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 9: After leaving the police station, Candice returned to the Harman family home to pack her belongings. When she entered her room, she found that Rachel had already thrown all her things out into the hallway. It was a mess. She scoffed as she squatted down, gathering her things one by one and packing them carefully. Although she had exposed Madilyn's scheme that night, she didn't believe it would improve her situation. Since she had escaped, there was no way to prove what those hooligans had done to her. Madilyn was so cunning that she would have an excuse to explain everything.

Besides, Greyson would always believe Madilyn no matter what. Sure enough, Greyson was already back in the house with Madilyn when Candice was about to leave with her suitcase. Meanwhile, Rachel sat cross-legged in the living room. Candice looked around and saw Madilyn's face pale and her eyes swollen, clearly from crying for a long time. When Rachel saw Candice, she confronted her directly. "Didn't you say you worked for a magazine? Since when did you become a lawyer? How dare you lie!" Candice smiled and sneered, "Is it necessary? I majored in both literature and law in college.

Why can't I have two jobs at once?" She had always been a top student, outperforming Madilyn in school. Madilyn stared at her angrily. How could Candice have grown so much in three years? She had underestimated her. Candice had managed to escape and even turned the tables on her unexpectedly. Candice looked directly at Greyson and said disdainfully, "If you don't ask her to apologize, I don't see any reason for me to stay and chat." Lαtєst chαptєrs in glnovels.cm When she was about to turn around, Greyson stopped her. "Wait." She stopped and waited for him to continue. "It's Madilyn's fault.

She admitted it, but she had a reason." Greyson had always been a man of few words. However, he was willing to speak more to defend Madilyn. "Three years ago, you hurt Madilyn. Later, your mother found her and gave her five million dollars. She told Madilyn to let what had happened between you two slide and sent her abroad to learn ballet." Candice was stunned. "That can't be true." "It is true.

I still have the bank statement from that time." Rachel sneered, then took out the bank statement and handed it to Candice, muttering, "You should be familiar with your mother's account." Rachel wiped her tears as she turned around and held Madilyn in her arms. "Poor girl, why didn't you say so earlier? You've suffered so much in these three years. Why didn't you speak up until now?" she said sympathetically. Tears welled up in Madilyn's eyes as she replied, "I didn't want to put Rey in a dilemma. I admit that I was in the wrong this time.

But I just wanted Candice to get the punishment she deserved for what happened three years ago..." She was so good at acting. Candice glared at her coldly. The account was indeed her mother's, but she had no idea about the five million dollars. What exactly happened three years ago? "Candice, you're even now. Don't bring this up again," Greyson said sternly. Candice clenched her fists angrily, but eventually loosened them. The way he defended Madilyn pained her. Although she had already anticipated it, she was still disappointed. All the evidence she had collected felt like a joke to them.

She had almost lost her life, and he dared to call this even? She should have realized that she had always been incomparable to Madilyn. It was never because she wasn't good enough, but because Greyson was always biased toward Madilyn. She was just a stumbling block in their love story. That was all she was. . . .
