Chapter 1043:
Candice believed that her plan was flawless and had reached its final stage, free from any errors.
“Of course, I can come up with ten billion dollars. That’s not what I’m referring to,” Elmo clarified. “What I mean is…”
Suddenly, Elmo took hold of Candice’s chin and continued, “Darling, have you ever considered that ten billion dollars is a drop in the bucket for Milton? What if he’s willing to pay the money for Sigrid and assist her in securing the Olson family’s shares? What will you do then?”
Upon hearing this, Candice was dumbfounded. She even momentarily forgot to extricate herself from Elmo’s suggestive action.
She instinctively bit her lip and felt a sudden rush of unease.
It was a good question. How could she have overlooked such a crucial aspect? Milton was one of the wealthiest men in the world. If Milton intervened to support his fiancée, what should she do?
A tinge of helplessness briefly crossed Candice’s countenance, and her lips quivered ever so slightly.
If Milton were to produce 10 billion dollars to support Sigrid, her entire plan would be rendered irrelevant. What purpose had her year of hard work served?
Their reunion in the Royal Garden Corporation’s meeting room after a year revealed no signs of excitement or longing in Milton’s gaze. He concealed his emotions exceptionally well.
On the contrary, Milton persistently inquired about the reason for her presence and her motives, causing Candice’s heart to sink.
In truth, she wasn’t certain. Although she had left a room card, she remained uncertain about whether he would come to meet her or not.
The sudden loss of confidence hit Candice hard. She vividly remembered the moment when Milton callously abandoned her without any explanation. How could she believe that he wouldn’t interfere now?
It had been a challenging task to ensnare Sigrid in this web of troubles, and if she failed, it would be exceedingly difficult to find another opportunity.

Witnessing Candice’s hesitation, Elmo tenderly caressed her chin and remarked, “So, you never considered this. You always believed that Milton loved you deeply and wouldn’t stand in your way, right? Everything you’ve done is to make my sister unsuitable for marrying Milton. Isn’t that right?”
Candice remained silent, biting her lip so hard that it nearly bled.
After a brief pause, she stated, “Aren’t you supposed to find a way to deal with these added complications? Are you truly Milton’s friend?”
With these words, she pulled away from Elmo’s touch and added, “Please maintain some respect. Remember, our relationship is strictly business.”
“He is my friend, that’s true. But when it comes to choices between friends and a woman, it’s entirely up to him. What’s your take on it? As much as you know about him, what do you think Milton will do?” Elmo inquired, injecting an air of deliberation into his question.
Candice replied, maintaining her cold tone, “How am I supposed to know? Your question has no bearing on our initial agreement.”
