Chapter 0229 

Sonia tried to probe Candice. “Candice, did I hear it wrong?” 

Candice looked at Sonia with a hint of impatience. “You don’t need to be concerned about my 

affairs.” 

“I’m just worried whether you encountered any trouble. After all, this is my birthday party, and I definitely want everyone to have a good time.” 

“Miss Summers.” Yana smiled by the side. “You don’t have to keep reminding us that today is your birthday. We can remember it. After all, you’re the main character today, I understand.” 

Sonia kept presenting herself as a host, repeatedly emphasizing her status in front of Candice. In Yana’s eyes, it seemed more like intentionally emphasizing something, making it even more 

conspicuous. 

Sonia froze, but Candice suddenly understood. Sonia had circled around like this, probably wanting to ask if the man with her was Alex. 

Candice’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, she felt someone approaching from behind. 

Sonia’s eyes quickly misted, and she looked behind Candice, her voice softening. “Lex, didn’t your say you had something to deal with? Why did you come over?” 

Candice pursed her lips tightly, and Alex’s deep voice sounded above her head. “It’s been taken 

care of.” 

Whether it was an illusion or the result of their close contact in the lounge just now, Candice kept feeling that her nose was filled with the faint scent of pine from Alex’s body. 

It was profound and cold, enveloping her. 

Even if she did not see him, the inexplicable sense of oppression still lingered. 

Without turning back, Candice pulled Yana away, but Sonia blocked their path. 

Candice could only speak softly. “Step aside.” 

Her voice was naturally already somewhat dry, and deliberately lowering it made it sound even 

more serious. 

Meeting her sharp gaze, Sonia’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took two steps aside. 

Candice left holding Yana’s hand. It was only then that Sonia came back to her senses. She 

looked back at Alex, only to see him with lowered eyes, deep in thought. 

“Lex, what are you thinking?” Sonia’s tone was hesitant. 

Alex lifted his gaze and said calmly, “Nothing. 

The birthday party had not been enjoyable. After getting into the car, Yana kept complaining to 

Candice about Sonia. 

Listening to her complaints, Candice’s mood gradually calmed down after leaving the bright banquet hall. She asked Yana, “Shall I take you home?” 

“Yes, I need to report the situation to my old man when I get back.”

Yana’s home was half an hour away from the banquet hall. They were halfway there when Candice’s phone rang. 

It was from someone at the Morinaga Estate. “Is this Ms. Candice Renault? Your purse was found at the estate. When would you have time to come and retrieve it?” 

Candice was stunned. “My purse?” 

“It was found on the sofa in the lounge, and the ID inside indicates it’s yours.” 

Candice had been to the Morinaga Estate several times, and a meeting with the Aether had also been held there. It would have been easy for them to contact her by checking their documents. 

She thought back, and realized she must have forgotten the purse when she was getting changed. With Alex’s sudden appearance, she hadn’t noticed forgetting it. 

She agreed to go and pick it up. 

“Did something happen?” Yana asked. 

“I left my purse behind at Morinaga Estate. I’ll go get it later.” 

Considering the timing, Candice was likely to run into Alex and the others if she went back now. So, she decided to drop Yana off at home first before going back.

Just as she picked up her purse and was about to leave, she met a pair of indifferent 

+15 RONOS 

Solomon was sitting on the waiting sofa in the manor’s lobby, one hand supporting his temple. His ash–blue hair was slightly messy, and his long legs were casually folded. 

Candice noticed his gaze, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hesitated. 

“Hello, I’m Solomon Quimby. Shall we get to know each other?” 

Candice narrowed her eyes, somewhat guarded. “Do you know me?” 

“I don’t.” Solomon spun his phone in his hand. “It’s just that you look like a person I dislike.” 

Candice remained expressionless. “Thanks for the compliment.” 

Solomon chuckled, but the laughter did not reach his eyes. He touched his chin, clicked his tongue and said, “Are you also with Aether?” 

Footsteps suddenly echoed from around the corner. 

Sieg and Alex, along with two other young men, came around the corner, walking towards them. 

Sieg was the first to stop, his gaze teasingly fixed on Candice. 

When Candice saw them, her expression darkened, and she turned to leave. 

Solomon sighed and casually tapped his phone. “Can I get your number?” 

His casual attitude made Candice uncomfortable. Her expression turned cold and chilling. 

Before she could speak, Seig said, “Candice, you’re really quick. Solomon hasn’t been in 

Dorrington for long, and you’ve already caught wind of it? No wonder you came here today.” Sieg 

turned to Solomon, unable to help but sarcastically remark, “Solomon, you really aren’t picky.” 

Solomon responded lazily. “What’s there to be picky about? Aren’t they all just for fun?” 

It was practically confirmation that he and Candice were casually involved. Sieg sneered and
