Chapter 1044:
Elmo nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and continued, “Nevertheless, we should take this variable into consideration. Did you happen to see him when you returned today?”
As if a realization had dawned on him, Elmo quickly retrieved his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and began scanning the headlines.
It suddenly struck him that a significant board meeting had been scheduled for Royal Garden Corporation on this very day. Could it be…
He read the headline: “ICIF Investigates Royal Garden Corporation and Invalidates International Investment Branch Establishment.”
He abruptly turned his gaze to Candice and questioned, “So, you came back for him?”
There was a tinge of disappointment in his tone. All of Candice’s actions, all her plans, seemed to revolve around Milton.
While they had cooperated and achieved certain goals, it was all devoid of personal emotions.
He had anticipated that something like this might occur, but it was disheartening to see her commitment to these actions.
Candice made no effort to deny it, asserting, “That’s not your concern. As for the variables you mentioned, it’s your responsibility to find a way to keep Milton from intervening. If we end up going that far…” If Milton truly intended to assist Sigrid…
Candice cast a frigid look at Elmo and declared, “I will do everything in my power to drag him down. No one can have what I can’t have. It’s your man’s favorite saying, isn’t it?”
“Candice, are you sure that you know what you’re doing?” Elmo was taken aback. Did she truly intend to harm Milton? Such a move would exact a heavy toll on both sides.
However, he saw the steely determination in her eyes, and it was evident that she was not making empty threats.
Elmo was appalled and jealous. If a woman this talented was willing to help him at all costs to clear any and all obstacles just to stay with him, then he would consider himself one of the luckiest men alive.

Although Candice’s words sounded absurd at first, they were, in reality, a result of her love for Milton.
Elmo couldn’t help but feel envy toward Milton now. He admitted Milton had good taste, even though the latter had never been in a committed relationship with any woman before. Yet, Milton had come across such an excellent woman like Candice. Why couldn’t he be as lucky?
Candice gingerly cradled her handbag and announced, “I should go now. The phone number I used to call you earlier is my new number in Ploville. I can assure you that tremendous changes are up ahead for the Olson family in the days to come. Let’s keep in touch.”
She then turned on her heel and strutted toward the door.
Elmo wanted nothing more than for her to stay. They hadn’t seen each other in a year, so the last thing he wanted her to do was leave. At least they should spend just a little more time together.
