Chapter 598
Chapter 598:
The sun still hung high in the sky, casting golden rays that bathed the mountainside resort in a warm glow. The orange tiles shimmered, reflecting the sunlight. Against the backdrop of the fiery red sky, wisps of blue clouds danced, creating a picturesque scene.
Truly, the project had immense potential.
Warren Building Materials really messed it up. What a shame. Candice glanced at the grand stone tablet by the resort’s entrance, displaying the words “Warren Resort.” She smirked.
Soon enough, this place might become Royal Garden Resort.
She was determined to help Milton take over Warren Building Materials at the lowest cost possible.
Candice entered the resort and followed Belinda’s directions to the sample villa.
The sample villa appeared to be well-maintained. It was tidy, with neatly trimmed flowers and trees in front of it.
Candice looked around. It was no wonder Belinda hadn’t suspected anything back then. It looked just like an ordinary sample villa. No one would have guessed that this was where Corless had committed his crimes.
She took a step forward and tried the doorknob, only to find it locked.
She walked around and noticed a cracked window. Opening it, she climbed inside.
As she entered, she found herself in a guest room.
The room had a bed—nothing out of the ordinary.
Candice touched the dressing table and noticed a thin layer of dust. It seemed like no one had been here for about a week. A week ago, she hadn’t revealed to Corless that she was Belinda’s lawyer.
She opened the guest room door and entered the living room, where she was taken aback.
Mirrors adorned the walls and even the ceiling. And alongside the mirrors were various suggestive pictures that made one blush and fantasize.

No wonder Belinda realized she had been tricked as soon as she stepped into the villa. It was just a large place for fun.
Candice looked around as she stood amidst the bewildering array of mirrors. She knew the sexually charged decor here couldn’t be used as concrete evidence.
Corless’ legal team had executed two impressive strategies: launching a counterclaim of fraud against Belinda while vehemently asserting Corless’ innocence in causing her injury, even going so far as to tamper with the medical records.
Suddenly, Candice found herself in a passive position.
She desperately needed to uncover a fresh breakthrough. Glancing at her wrist to check the time, she realized the day was fading into darkness. She needed to catch a taxi after spending no more than half an hour there.
Without thinking for another second, she hurriedly paced through each room, leaving no stone unturned in her meticulous search.
Her cell phone incessantly rang, both during her taxi ride and now in the midst of her investigation. She knew it was Milton on the other end, but she stubbornly refused to answer.
