The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 935

After getting out of the car, Candice strode toward the villa.

Mervyn got out of the car as well and chased after her.

Candice quickly ran into the villa. She slammed the door shut and locked it.

Mervyn banged on the door from outside.

Candice didn't open the door but slowly walked into the house.

Hearing the commotion, Elio lowered his arm and looked toward the entrance.

He hadn't expected Candice to come back. His sorrowful eyes showed a glimmer of hope. He sat up straight and stared at her with teary eyes.

At that moment, the knocking outside ceased.

Candice stood before him and looked down at Elio who was seated on the sofa. She said, "Mervyn said you've coveted me for a long time. Is that true?"

Elio nodded reluctantly.

Candice nervously clenched her fists. She asked, "Do you know what 'covet' means?"

Elio replied, "Yes, I know. It means desiring something that doesn't belong to you."

Candice asked sadly, "Why can't you use a different word? For example, you can say you like me."

Elio looked at her in surprise.

As tears streamed down her face, Candice choked out, "I-I'm not a possession. I don't belong to anyone. Why did you covet me instead of liking me?"

Elio immediately stood up. He nervously said with a trembling voice, "I did like you. That's why I did a lot of despicable things. I followed you, investigated you, and sabotaged every man around you, including your plans with Mervyn. I even—"

Candice interrupted, "So, that business trip abroad when you slept with me, that was also planned?"

Elio exhaled heavily before nodding.
