Chapter 552
Chapter 552:
Candice grabbed the seat belt tightly, feeling a bit anxious. Unable to hold back her emotions, she finally spoke. “You’re exceeding the speed limit.”
Milton pursed his lips but ignored her comment, pressing the accelerator even harder.
Candice frowned and said, “Are you listening to me? You received more than a hundred violation tickets just last month! I’ve been receiving them in my office non-stop! Running red lights, speeding, illegal lane changes, going the wrong way down a one-way street, road rage… Did you know that you’re not only paying fines but also having points deducted from your license? Your driver’s license should have been revoked dozens of times! I can’t keep maintaining your points through legal means. And besides, I’m not a lawyer who deals with traffic violations.”
She believed that she was receiving everything related to Milton, as she was registered as his personal attorney at the Royal Garden Corporation.
Milton finally replied, “I’ll call the director of the Communications Administration Bureau and solve it myself.”
As he spoke, he slowed down and drove within the speed limit.
Candice nodded and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the car was still tense.
A moment later, Milton suddenly asked, “Is this how you usually handle your cases?” He remembered when Candice had pretended to be a prostitute and entered Grady’s private room at Watery Aroma to deal with him alone. She had ended up surrounded by gangsters who threatened her safety.
He became angry at the thought, but it seemed like she hadn’t learned her lesson, because this time, she was once again taking on all the risks alone.
Candice raised her brows and looked at him. “What’s wrong with how I handle my cases?” she asked irritably.
Milton glanced at her sideways. Seeing her stubborn expression only made him angrier. “Why didn’t you inform me you were out handling a case? What’s your plan if you encounter an emergency while alone? Haven’t you learned anything from Grady’s case? Your strength isn’t comparable to ours. How can you be so reckless and impulsive?”

“Am I reckless and impulsive?” Candice pointed to herself with wide eyes. “What emergency have I encountered today? I was about to reveal my hand before you arrived. The reporters were all focused on me, and I had the perfect opportunity. With so many people around, how could Corless and Cathy harm me? Besides, before I went there, I wasn’t sure if I could ruin their plans today. I was just doing a routine investigation. Do I need to report my whereabouts to you all the time? If you hadn’t shown up, you wouldn’t have had to spend a hundred million! Although the money was donated to charity, you should have thought twice before spending that much!”
Candice nagged in annoyance.
She had felt uncomfortable ever since he had asked her to cooperate with him and kissed her in public.
She had been consumed by constant anger and frustration.
Milton sensed Candice’s distress but couldn’t quite pinpoint the cause. He assumed it was because she didn’t appreciate his interference in her affairs.
