Chapter 480:
Life was peaceful for the next few days.
Candice followed a routine of going to work, attending court sessions step-by-step, and winning two cases through straightforward procedures. However, one case requiring a change in jurisdiction needed supplementary evidence.
After meticulously preparing the necessary materials, Candice realized she needed Milton’s signature. Unfortunately, she hadn’t seen him in the past few days, nor had he made any contact.
It felt like the events of that day were just a dream.
In her office, she sat blankly, staring at her cell phone while monitoring news about Royal Garden Corporation.
After she withdrew the lawsuit, the news spread throughout the industry. Milton’s name was cleared of all suspicion and his reputation restored. Furthermore, with the company’s continuous release of innovative products, their popularity soared, causing Royal Garden Corporation’s stock price to skyrocket.
In a matter of days, the company’s assets increased by a staggering 15%, amounting to hundreds of billions. Yet, for Milton, money seemed to hold little significance.
Candice’s attention turned back to the supplementary evidence requiring Milton’s signature.
She sent her assistant to obtain it, but to her surprise, the assistant couldn’t even enter the CEO’s office. Milton refused to see her assistant.
The CEO’s secretary told the assistant that Milton didn’t consider her qualified to meet him.
It was clear Milton was intentionally making things difficult.
The message was clear: Candice needed to see him in person.
Feeling helpless, she had no choice but to go there herself.
The court was eagerly awaiting her submission of the document, leaving no room for further delay.

She hesitated momentarily, torn by conflicting thoughts. Yet, in a sudden surge of determination, Candice rose from her seat, gathered the materials before her, and exited the premises of Hope Law Firm.
An aerial walkway connected the two buildings. If it were open to the public, it would surely become a popular tourist attraction.
The walkway was constructed entirely of transparent glass, including the floor, giving the impression of walking over an endless abyss. People with a fear of heights would surely be unable to proceed. The 360-degree view on either side was breathtaking.
She made it through the corridor and arrived at the main building of Royal Garden Corporation, taking the elevator to the highest floor.
When she approached the entrance to Milton’s office, the secretary, Blair Cruz, stopped her.
“I apologize, Miss Blake. Please wait a moment. The CEO is currently occupied with someone else,” Blair said politely.
Hearing this, Candice stopped and tightly grasped the document in her hand. “Alright.”
