The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 867

Michaela delivered a firm admonition, stating, "In this world, any woman is welcome, except for Candice Morrison."

However, it wasn't that Michaela bore any animosity toward Candice.

On the contrary, she held a deep affection for her, treating her with the same love and care as if she were her own granddaughter.

Her apprehensions arose from a fear of Candice getting hurt, concerns about tarnishing her family's reputation, and anxieties regarding the potential strain it might place on the relationship between their two families.

Despite these concerns, Michaela appeared indifferent to Elio's happiness.

Throughout, she had vehemently opposed his relationship with Candice, resorting to extreme measures.

Elio had spent half his life compromising, but he had reached his breaking point.

He was determined to live life on his own terms.

If Candice were willing to embrace him and stand by his side despite the world's opposition, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

"My personal affairs are none of your concern," Elio responded sharply to Michaela's probing.

Michaela's anger flared as she persisted, "But what about Josie? After all these years together, are you going to abandon her for Candice?"

Elio's frustration erupted as he fired back, "Josie and I were never a couple. If it weren't for your insistence, I wouldn't have begged her to pretend to be my first love."

Michaela's astonishment was evident. "Pretend? Your relationship with Josie was fake?"

A bitter, rueful smile tugged at Elio's lips.

Recalling the time when his hidden affection for Candice was exposed, he found himself confronted with threats and coercion from his family.

Feeling trapped, Elio realized he had no option but to resort to drastic measures.

"Elio, you've disappointed me greatly!" Michaela declared, her voice trembling with anger.

Unmoved, Elio responded, "I'm busy. Unless it's urgent, don't bother calling."

With that, he ended the call and slipped his phone into his pocket.

He lowered his head, lost in thought.

In his world, the only person who could stop him from being with Candice was Candice herself.

He couldn't care less about anyone else.

…

In the ensuing days, Candice found herself increasingly occupied as the event unfolded.
