It took Candice a while to find her voice. She asked hoarsely, “Alex, are you doing this on purpose?”

“You’re overthinking it. You’re just suited for the task.”

Alex put down what he was holding, his ink-black eyes assessing Candice. He raised an eyebrow and

sneered, “What, would this interrupt your romance with Jackson?”

Candice looked at Alex, feeling a suffocating tightness in her chest. She had always thought that Alex treated

her differently.

But as it turned out, there wasn’t much of a difference.

Candice’s throat felt tight. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, “Fine, I’ll go to Stugan City.”

The mockery in Alex’s eyes intensified. He casually looked at Candice’s lips, which were red with lipstick.

“You can leave tomorrow morning…”

“Alex.” Candice interrupted him.

It had been a long time.

She had been with Alex for a long time.

Long enough for him to grow weary.

“I won’t renew my contract when it expires,” she said.

Her words sounded so far away at this moment as if she were hearing her own voice from outside a bubble.

Something flickered in Alex’s eyes, and he narrowed his eyes at Candice. His expression completely darkened.

“Are you threatening me? Asking for additional benefits?”

Candice didn’t know how he came to that conclusion.

Wasn’t this the result he had always wanted?

She lowered her gaze and remained silent. In a cold and threatening voice, Alex said, “Fine, as long as you don’t regret it.”
