Chapter 384 "Mm-hmm." I had assumed Swouldn't know about what happened and that I wouldn't have to worry about it if Sean hadn't told him.
Yet, he still found out eventually.
"Taylor, you know you can ignore her if you don't want to deal with her, right?" Soren asked, probably concerned that I might end up hearing something: I shouldn't from Candy or get hurt by her.
But I didn't care. "Don't worry. I'm not that much of a pushover. Besides, I've got Sean with me, don't I?" “Okay, I'll leave it up to you to decide. But I don't think Candy will be around much longer. She'll probably return to the country in a few days." That was what I thought as well. Even if she was genuinely dedicated to her work, I doubted her family would let someone as precious as her stay overseas during the festival As such, I wasn't that worr "By the way, has Edith been released from prison? Do you have any updates on your investigation?" I asked.
Even though I was overseas, Edith's case had always lingerist in my mind. After all, I was the one who had started it all.

I couldn't help but wonder how much the Kennedys were willing to spend to deal with a problem child like her.
At this rate, their fortune would be entirely squandered on her and Edward.
We continued our video call for another ten minutes until Cherry called me. That's when I ended the call and rushed off to work That night, I had Cherry make reservations at a decent restaurant to enjoy our first meal in Medhelanon. I also wanted to make it a pre-celebration for our upcoming Fashion Week.
The major brands had arrived on the 28th, and the organizers had called a meeting to discuss the event details. Unfortunately, I ran into Candy again.
I had arrived first and found a seat, but Candy chose to sit next towhen she arrived later.
I glanced at her and calmly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.
During the meeting, I paid close attention to the staff briefing us on the event schedule and other important details.
While taking notes, my eyes subconsciously drifted to the cell phone beside me.
It was Candy's phone, which wouldn't have been surprising at all. But there was something that caught my attention her wallpaper! It showed the side profile of a very handsman with strong, chiseled features. His mature, determined eyes +25 BONUS radiated resilience, yet there was a hint of gentleness in his cool demeanor. The man looked serious, but also kind.
I recognized his features so quickly because it was a man missed dearly... Soren! But why would Candy have a photo of Soren? And at such high definition?
Realizing I was staring at her phone, Candy picked it up with a simile and said playfully, "Exquse me.

"Jealous?" Candy raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased with herself.
I didn't bother responding, turning instead toward the large screen.
But she didn't stop. "You're really lucky, you know? I hear Soren only noticed you because you saved his life once. If not for that, you two would never have crossed paths. After all, you live in completely different worlds." I stayed silent. She was right, but I wasn't interested in arguing "Tell me... Do you think Soren's feelings for you are love or gratitude? I think it's mostly the latter. It's a shyou can't see it for what it really is and rushed into his arms without thinking. When you two- Ack!" I noticed a cup of coffee next to her phone and, before she could finish, reached over, pretending to spill it her.
The coffee splashed onto her phone, sof it even staining her shirt.
