Chapter 443:
He opened and closed his mouth, unsure what to say, before finally apologizing, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I made you suffer. But I will never do that again. Let’s get married again. Grandpa approves of us, and so do the others.”
Hutton couldn’t bear to see Greyson lowering his head and apologizing to Candice. He added, “Well, Candice, you are a member of our family, after all. Let bygones be bygones. We won’t speak of the wedding night anymore. From now on, you can be at ease in the Harman family. Anyway, I heard you’re now a lawyer? Being a lawyer is hard work. Women should take care of their husbands and children at home. Take good care of yourself and give birth to—”
children for the Harman family. The Harman family will provide all the food and clothes you need. Your parents would have nothing to worry about in heaven.”
Candice shook her head and smiled scornfully, as if she had heard a joke.
She hadn’t planned to humiliate her elders, but since they insisted on causing trouble, she retorted, “Mr. Harman, first of all, I have nothing to do with the Harman family. Second, you may not know, but the child I carried did not belong to the Harman family. Lastly, you worry too much about my job as a lawyer. It’s none of your business.”
Hutton’s face instantly darkened. How dare she! How dare she contradict him!
Embarrassed, Greyson tugged at Candice’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t mind Grandpa. He’s old. I’ll persuade him later.”
Candice pushed Greyson away and said pointedly to Hutton, “I am restraining myself since you are my elder. Mr. Harman, times have changed. Women should be independent and have their own careers. We do not need to depend on men. I’m not a tool used by your family to conceive. You said my parents would have nothing to worry about? When I was framed, why didn’t you think my parents would be worried? You just wanted to kick me out as soon as I handed over the formula. You think I’m unaware of your scheme? Are you letting me remarry Greyson because you feel sorry for me? I’m not that stupid. You think public opinion on the Harman family is in the dumps and all the scandals can be covered up if we remarry. After all, the company’s image can improve if a mistake is corrected in time!”

Candice concluded her speech in one uninterrupted breath. Hutton pointed a finger at her in a fit of anger. “You, you, you are incredibly ungrateful!”
Greyson attempted to pull Hutton away. “Grandpa, Candice just experienced the loss of her child. She’s in a bad state of mind. I’ll talk to her later. Please don’t say anything more.”
“Get away from me. I want to witness how arrogant she can be. She doesn’t even take me seriously. How dare she!” Hutton remained stubborn, refusing to back down.
Observing their unyielding attitudes, Greyson helplessly massaged his temples.
“Candice, you should have a realistic assessment of yourself. Your parents passed away, your family faced financial ruin, and your reputation suffered. It is a great display of tolerance and grace that the Harman family welcomed you back. How dare you speak to me in such a disrespectful manner? Apologize to me immediately. Considering your miscarriage and distressed state, I’ll forgive you!” Hutton’s anger caused his eyes to widen dramatically.
Candice found it amusing. “I don’t want your tolerance and grace. Give them to someone else! You made mistakes first, but you still expect me to thank you. What a joke!” She turned to Greyson. “I will never marry you again.”
