Chapter 533

Chapter 533:
He pressed the electric button, revealing a hidden door. As the door opened, a lavish lunch break room was revealed. The decor was contemporary, and the walls were covered with mirrors, creating an illusion of disorientation.
Bending down, he intended to lift her gently and let her rest on the soft, comfortable bed, just as he had done countless times in Sunrise Apartment.
However, as he reached out his hands to hold her, Candice suddenly opened her eyes. She had already awakened. She had merely been drowsy and would be fine after a short nap. Although she wasn’t fond of reading accounting books, she was very good at dealing with numbers. That was why she had assisted Greyson in acquiring Harmony Hospital at a minimal cost. Excessive reading, however, made her sleepy, so she preferred to avoid the accounting books.
When she realized that Milton was going to lift her, she immediately woke up.
Instinctively, she resisted his touch and shrugged off his arm, attempting to maintain a distance from him. In a low voice, she scolded, “Don’t touch me!”
Milton was initially shocked. Then, his arm froze in midair, and a wave of anger surged within him.
Was he not allowed to touch her?
Over the past few days, it was evident that Candice had intentionally kept her distance from him. Not only did she distance herself physically, but she also showed complete indifference toward him.
When they were on the yacht the other day, she had engaged with him, but she said it was only to fulfill her physical desires.
Throughout his life, he had always been superior to others and had never experienced such indifference.
The feeling of depression instantly engulfed him. Dark emotions gradually consumed him. Without warning, he grabbed Candice, firmly gripping her wrists with one hand, and pulled her up, pressing her back against the sofa chair.
His voice resonated with anger. “Candice, since you insist on not letting personal matters interfere with work, let’s focus on business.”

He pressed down on Candice, immobilizing her. His hot breath brushed against her face, forcing her to turn away. In irritation, Milton extended his hand and forcefully tilted her chin back.
“I am the biggest client of the Hope Law Firm. You signed a contract with me for twelve years, clearly stating that it cannot be terminated. So, what gives you the right to ignore me and refuse to respond?”
He wasn’t one to act superior, but she had pushed him to this point.
Candice could only stare at him.
The anger in his eyes frightened her.
“What is it that you want to say?” she asked, her voice trembling.
“Ha.” Milton lowered his body, pressing himself against her.
He spoke coldly. “If the Warren Building Materials acquisition case is successful, do you know how much commission fee you can earn?”
Before Candice could answer, he continued, “I’ve done the calculations for you. Even if we acquire it at the highest valuation, you’ll receive a commission of 120 million. After deducting taxes and the share you need to pay to the Hope Law Firm, you’ll still make tens of millions in the end.”
