Chapter 442
Chapter 442:
Rachel continued to unleash a torrent of curses and shouts, her voice gradually fading into nothingness as she was carried away.
Observing her departure, Greyson sought to approach Candice, his voice laced with concern as he inquired, “How are you doing? Have you fully recovered? I can arrange a precise medical examination for you at my hospital.”
He extended his arm, trying to make contact with Candice. Rachel’s recent remark had struck a chord within him, targeting his vulnerability. The affair between Candice and Milton was something he simply couldn’t let go of. Despite the passing of time, the pain remained.
As he was about to touch her, Candice quickly stepped back, evading his touch.
“No need. I came here only to see how Rachel would end up.”
At that moment, Hutton emerged from the grand hall.
Adhering to the traditions of respect for their elders, Candice greeted him with a nod and a polite smile. “Mr. Harman.”
Upon spotting Candice, Hutton emitted a heavy sigh.
“I promised your mother that I would take care of you. You have suffered greatly, and I bear some responsibility for that. Please, allow me to help you start anew. You two should consider remarriage.”
Candice was stunned. She didn’t expect Hutton to suggest that she and Greyson remarry.
Did she hear him right?
Hutton was old-fashioned. He often stressed the importance of family honor and pressured Greyson to restore it. She had lost her virginity to another man on their wedding night, bringing shame to the Harman family. She must have been a disgrace in Hutton’s eyes.
When Greyson proposed a divorce, Hutton had even supported it. Now that they had obtained the formula and achieved their goal, why would they still care about her?

Candice looked at Hutton with surprise and suspicion.
Greyson reached out and pulled Candice close, promising, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will marry her again.” He gently nudged Candice’s arm, signaling her not to disappoint his grandfather and to pretend to agree.
However, Candice ignored his hint. She turned to Greyson and said defiantly, “Don’t you think I’m disgusting now?”
Greyson froze.
Suddenly, he realized Candice was mocking him, using his own harsh words from the day after their wedding against him.
“How dare you question me? You cheated on me on our wedding night. Shouldn’t you be ashamed? You’re just a woman without your virginity.” “You are disgusting.”
Every cruel word that had hurt her was now a sharp blade cutting into himself.
He couldn’t escape his past mistakes.
