Chapter 1038
Chapter 1048:
Now, the Olson family was in an unprecedented crisis, and Candice stood at the center of it all!
This was something Sigrid couldn’t tolerate.
Candice shot Sigrid a disparaging glare and said, “What do I want? Do you really need to ask? Miss Olson, I know you’re confident that you’re descended from a noble family and that you truly believe you deserve Milton. But take away all the support your family provides you, and you’re left with nothing to offer as his fiancée.”
Candice studied her fingers as she gently clasped them together and leaned against the door, her posture quite laid back. “Now, you’re just an ordinary person.”
Sigrid was pissed. “You! You’ve grown too arrogant for your own good! My family will not be taken down like this. Besides, we still have our shares. Even if my brothers are locked behind bars, I’m still in the running to be the next family heiress. You didn’t know that, did you? I’m the rightful heiress!”
“Well,” Candice shot back, “If you’re so confident in your claim, why are you and your mother even here? Weren’t you supposed to fly back to Morbach straight away and fight for your property?”
Paisley’s expression shifted upon realizing that Candice was well aware of the Olson family’s impending heavy debts. It was the very purpose of her coming over to seek Elmo’s help with Sigrid. She knew Elmo was wealthy. Although Paisley’s family held a well-coveted position in the art circle and had a firm grasp on the auction houses, galleries, and artworks, they were all set as key targets of the procuratorate. She couldn’t afford either to get her family into deeper trouble or lose so much money now.
Paisley pulled the impulsive Sigrid back to her side before interrogating Elmo, “So, it’s you, isn’t it? You were involved in it? You won’t stand by us?”
Before Elmo could answer, Candice took the opportunity to speak up. “We’re all business-minded people here. And, fair enough, no one is willing to do business if loss is inevitable. So why would he want to help you and your daughter?
Words have it that both of you possess a total of 11% in shares. I highly suggest you sell those to him pronto. Don’t wait until the Olson family completely collapses and the stock prices plummet. By then, your shares will be utterly useless. You’ll regret it.”

Elmo lowered his head with a subtle smile dancing across his lips. Candice said all that he wanted to say. Indeed, he was the only one who could clean up the Olson family’s mess.
Paisley’s face turned as pale as a ghost. She never imagined the sharp and cunning Candice was no longer her pawn but a vicious blade stabbing her mercilessly. She soon found herself…
Regretful of the choices she had made, Paisley realized she didn’t stand a chance to win. If she were to retreat, her years of hard work on the Olson family would be all for nothing.
Having gravely underestimated Candice, Paisley was caught off guard by Elmo’s admission to lying all this time. Elmo had sided with Candice to destroy the Olson family.
Realizing the truth, Paisley was filled with regret. She should have asked someone to eliminate Candice to avoid any potential troubles at that time.
