The Wrong Woman

Chapter 930

Elio asked, "Candice doesn't drink. Did you purposely get her drunk?"

Mervyn sneered, "She won't drink with you, but she will with me. Besides, she's happy that I'm back."

Elio clenched his fist.

Mervyn continued, "Candice is the innocent type. I don't know what tactics you used to get her, but they must have been underhanded.

"I was already suspicious when you took her abroad last time. Elio, a twisted man like you, doesn't deserve her. I won't let her fall into your trap." Ignoring him, Elio pushed him aside and walked past him. Then, he continue his way in further into the house.

Mervyn caught up to grab Elio's arm, but Elio turned and threw him off.

Elio grabbed his collar and pinned him against the wall.

With a chilling aura and a gaze full of menace, Elio warned, "Listen carefully. Candice is my fiancée now, so whatever relationship you had with her is in the past. From now on, keep your distance because she's mine."

Mervyn said through gritted teeth, "I will tear off that ugly mask of yours and show Candice what kind of person you really are."

Elio scoffed, "I'll be waiting."

Elio gave Mervyn a hard shove against the wall, making him wince in pain. He then walked to the room and pushed open the door.

After turning on the light, he found Candice asleep in bed with a blanket covering herself. He walked over and lifted the blanket before lifting Candice up.

Elio walked out carrying Candice, who was so drunk that she was asleep.

Once again, Mervyn blocked his path.

Elio's face turned grim.

Mervyn said, "If Candice were awake, given our relationship, she might now choose to leave with you."

Elio's heart ached because he didn't have the confidence to compete with Mervyn when it came to Candice's affection.

Even if it meant forcing her hand, he was determined.

Elio angrily said, "Tonight, I'm taking her with me. Move."

Mervyn suppressed his emotion as he gritted his teeth.

Seeing the tension and knowing the potential consequences of offending Elio who was the wealthiest man in Norvania, Ryan hurried over and pulled Mervyn aside to clear the way for Elio. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Mervyn muttered in displeasure, "Dad, you—"

Carrying Candice, Elio strode out of the Campbell Residence.

He placed her in the backseat. After that, he started the car and sped away. Instead of taking her back to Morrison Residence, he drove straight to his villa.

Candice slept deeply the entire journey.

He carried the sleeping Candice

upstairs. After placing her on the et

bed, he covered her with a blanket. Then he adjusted the lighting to a soft glow.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he covered his face with his hands. He exhaled heavily, his chest felt tight and heavy.

When he raised his head and looked around the room, he quickly began to remove any traces of Candice from his room, including her photos. He was very anxious.

As Mervyn's words echoed in his mind, he feared of being exposed.

Would Candice, who was so innocent, accept the underhanded and premeditated tactics he had used?

With Mervyn back, could he truly surpass him in winning Candice's heart?

Stuffing everything into the cab, Elio changed his clothes and lay beside Candice.

He felt lonely, so he gently pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly as he closed his eyes.
