Chapter 101

Chapter 101:
“Wow. I didn’t know how to react just now. Did Mr. Lopez really intend to kiss her in public? She almost slapped him in the face. Did that really happen, or did I see it wrong?”
“No, you didn’t see it wrong. I’ve recorded it and played it back several times. It really happened.”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Lopez to do something like this. He has always had strict self-discipline. It’s so exciting.”
Squeezing through the crowd, Bettina heard the conversations around her.
She quickly turned on her phone to check. Sure enough, someone had anonymously released the court summons, and many media outlets were spreading it like wildfire. Although specific details of the summons were erased, the names of the plaintiff and defendant were crystal clear.
What Milton had done in public just now made Bettina feel extremely relieved. He was a responsible man.
No matter what, going forward, public opinion pressure wouldn’t fall solely on Candice. She didn’t need to worry so much about Candice now.
The entire public relations team stood as they watched their CEO take Candice by the hand, walk past the conference room with her, and head to his office on the top floor.
Looking at Milton, Raul was speechless.
Well, he had tried his best.
Previously, he thought Milton just had a silly schoolboy crush on Candice. He didn’t expect his friend had gone so crazy in love.
Milton had never fallen in love with anyone over the years, but once he did, he wouldn’t easily let go or quit. He was stubborn and reckless—bound to cause big trouble sooner or later.
But why Candice Blake? She was Greyson’s wife, and they had just married. It was ridiculous.
Milton took Candice into his office.
He slammed the door shut and closed the shutters with the push of a button, isolating them from the outside world.

He released Candice’s wrist and sat her down on the sofa. She seized the moment to try to escape, quickly rising and rushing to the door. But before she could reach the doorknob, Milton was already in front of her. He stepped forward, she stepped back—one step, two steps…
Before she knew it, she was back on the sofa.
His eyes were slightly red, and his breath came in short bursts. Wherever he went, there was pressure, and sometimes it was just too much.
“You didn’t even ask if you could bring me here. I want to leave. Now,” Candice snapped, panting slightly.
“Do you really think you can leave now?” Milton glanced at her. “Stay here with me. I’ll resolve this and drive you home tonight.”
Biting her lip, Candice thought he was right. If she tried to leave now, reporters would swarm her. Their problem was already known throughout the city.
What’s more, he had just tried to kiss her in public. That near-incident would soon break the internet, make headlines, and go viral.
