Chapter 858:
Sensing her movement, Milton instinctively held her waist.
His voice possessed a captivating allure as he whispered, “Baby, why are you waking up so early? You should stay in bed a little longer. It seems like you’re not very tired. How about we…”
Caught off guard by his sudden advance, Candice swiftly pushed him away and hurriedly got out of bed.
Memories of their previous night’s intimacy still haunted her. To endure it once more in the morning would be unbearable, and it would undoubtedly consume the rest of her life.
“I have some matters to attend to this morning, which is why I woke up early,” Candice explained, her voice trembling slightly. “Stay there and don’t come near me.” While speaking, Candice subtly slid her hand under the pillow, finding the strand of hair she had hidden the previous night, and discreetly pinched it within her palm. She didn’t want Milton to notice it.
Determined to maintain her composure, Candice proceeded to the bathroom without delay.
She swiftly washed her face and brushed her teeth, her gaze eventually falling upon Milton’s toothbrush. To establish a definitive biological connection, it was necessary to compare the DNA from the toothbrush used by the individual in question with the hair containing a follicle.
With these essential items, the results would yield greater accuracy.
At this moment, Milton came into the bathroom.
Candice, maintaining her facade, said with feigned nonchalance, “I accidentally dropped your toothbrush on the floor earlier. How about you replace it with a new one?”
Candice was well aware of Milton’s fastidious nature when it came to cleanliness, so he wouldn’t refuse.
Milton nodded in acknowledgment, turned on his heel, and left the bathroom, clutching a fresh toothbrush in his hand.

Unbeknownst to him, Candice had cunningly concealed his toothbrush within the pocket of her pajamas.
“Is there anything wrong with the law firm? You have been restless since last night,” Milton inquired, his brow furrowing with concern.
“It’s nothing significant. Whenever there’s a challenging aspect of a case, it tends to occupy my thoughts. The same goes for your work,” Candice replied dismissively.
Milton made no attempt to deny her statement. Candice possessed an unwavering seriousness that commanded respect.
After they had breakfast, the duo proceeded together to the premises of the esteemed Royal Garden Corporation.
Candice feigned entering the Hope Law Firm, then swiftly slipped away and hailed a passing taxi. Settling into the backseat, she directed the driver straight to an identification center in Ploville.
Upon reaching her destination, Candice sought out the examiner who collaborated with the law firm.
