Her phone suddenly beeped with a notification.

When she checked, she realized her phone was nearly dead—only 5% battery remaining. She hadn’t noticed until now.

She had hurriedly left the house that morning, first visiting the hospital, then the Royal Garden Corporation office, and later returning to the legal office for a meeting. In all that rush, she forgot to charge her phone and didn’t bring a portable battery pack.

As it seemed, her phone battery could die at any moment.

Almost immediately, she texted Bettina, “Okay. My phone is nearly out of charge. Talk to you tomorrow.”

After sending the message, she hastily stuffed the phone back into her purse.

The wife of the ambassador was nearby. Candice approached, bowed respectfully, and greeted her warmly. “Nice to meet you.” The ambassador’s wife gave Candice a glance of appreciation, slightly startled by her enthusiasm.

Candice introduced herself and the Hope Law Firm with a friendly smile. They then discussed a range of topics.

As Candice noticed the smile on the ambassador’s wife’s face, she realized she had made a positive impression. After a long conversation, the hostess turned to greet the other guests.

Candice felt a sense of relief after their talk.

She completed the task that Bettina had left her to do on her own.

In the parking lot, Bettina locked the car doors and remained there.

Tears still lingered at the corners of her eyes, and her clothes barely covered her. Her skin was marked in red, and she could still smell the man’s scent lingering on her. She had to leave Candice to handle the situation alone, as she couldn’t summon the courage to return to the party.

She was so distraught that she desperately wiped herself with countless wet tissues.

Starting with her lips, she worked her way down to her breasts and legs. But no matter how much she wiped, she couldn’t feel clean.

The marks he left would never disappear.

She hadn’t expected Bart to treat her so intensely and bizarrely.

As a lawyer, she knew she couldn’t sue him and win, considering their past relationship. In the dressing room just moments ago, she had felt too self-conscious to put up much of a fight, not wanting to disturb the others.

Bang! She slammed her head against the steering wheel, feeling regret. She hadn’t believed that Bart had come to her to reminisce about the past.

Her greatest concern was that Bart had used her for his own purposes. She had underestimated his cunning nature all along!

Outside East Hospital, the city was consumed by the shroud of night, darkness seeping into every crevice. The leaves on the trees lay still, with hardly a breeze in sight. The air was heavy and oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.

Perhaps the torrential rain that had fallen earlier in the day would make a comeback.
