Chapter 662
Chapter 662:
After thinking for a moment, she added, “No photography, please. Stealthy snapshots, unauthorized sharing of photos, and videos infringe upon the right to privacy and will be legally pursued for crimes related to personal information violations.”
Upon hearing this, all the journalists shut their mouths.
Nonetheless, there were audacious journalists who couldn’t resist continuing their barrage of questions, almost ridiculing Candice. “Is your relationship strictly professional? How can colleagues be seen kissing and holding hands in public? Did you have a sexual relationship too? Are you his legal counsel or his secret lover?”
This question was highly inappropriate. The people around were left utterly astounded.
Milton’s expression quickly froze. What was the implication here? Were they suggesting that Candice was his private plaything? Just as his fury began to rise, Candice gave him a stern tug, her eyes silently urging him to keep quiet.
Candice then cast a disdainful look at the reporter’s badge, smirking. “Reporter of YNG TV, badge number 178324, your unfounded slander, rumor-mongering, and attack on my character amounts to defamation. Expect a legal notice from Hope Law Firm within a week.”
At her words, the YNG TV journalist promptly fell silent and retreated into the crowd. It seemed that crossing paths with an attorney was not a wise move. He certainly couldn’t bear the weight of legal notices.
The journalists parted, making way for the pair after witnessing Candice’s formidable presence.
With a furious expression on his face, Milton forcefully pulled Candice aside. Upon reaching his car, he slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the Bentley zoomed away from the courthouse like an arrow released from its bow.
Leaning back into the plush car seat, Candice let out a deep sigh of relief. At last, she could enjoy some peaceful silence.
Her lawyer’s robe felt somewhat suffocating, the sweat sticking to her back. She loosened her collar and unfastened a few buttons on the back to let some air in.

The world outside the car window was enveloped in darkness, the alternating neon lights casting a kaleidoscope of colors, vibrant and mesmerizing.
Milton’s countenance was still dark, the memory of the reporter’s insinuation about Candice being his plaything stirring a desire in him to rip the man apart. Yet, upon further reflection, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy knowing that Candice had stood before him to defend his honor.
Accustomed to his dominant status and being in control, the concept of being defended by a woman was unfamiliar to him.
He glanced at her flushed, beautiful face, and a spark of intrigue lit his eyes. He enjoyed her defense. The experience was indeed unique.
Noticing Milton’s unwavering gaze, Candice felt her cheeks heat up.
But why was he fixated on her? Did she have something on her face?
Clearing her throat, she advised, “Keep your eyes on the road. We don’t want to run a red light.”
Milton turned his attention back to the road and realized they were approaching an intersection. The traffic light was shifting from green to red. Had she not warned him, he would have sped through the changing light. He hit the brakes, and the car came to a smooth stop.
