Candice shook her head.As Elio looked at her back, he clenched his fists to suppress his emotions. His eyes reddened and his heart ached.Was his impending happiness about to be shattered? He was starting to panic.Mervyn said earnestly, “Candice, I really don’t want you to be deceived by him.”This was the same thing Josie had tried to tell her.

He said anxiously, “Candice, I’ll drop you at work. You’re going to be late.”Mervyn pushed Elio away. He yelled, “Stop pretending! Are you scared now? Why weren’t you scared when you were deceiving Candice?”Elio angrily growled, “What did I deceive her about?”Mervyn pushed Candice aside and rushed forward to grab Elio by the collar. He growled through gritted teeth, “Don’t think I don’t know about your dirty tricks. I’ve investigated everything.”In the year of the college entrance exams, Candice was accepted by the same out-of-town university as me, but you intercepted her admission letter and switched it with one from a local university.”Candice was shocked. She stared at them in disbelief.Elio was speechless. He was panicking as fear coursed through him. He was not afraid of Mervyn. But rather he was afraid of losing Candice because the truth could not always be hidden.”Three years ago, Candice wanted to study abroad with me, but you paid the interviewers to reject her. You tampered with customs procedures to prevent her from going abroad and let her miss the chance to study with me.”Also, her name wasn’t on thebusiness trip list for the overseas event recently. You specifically arranged for her to go, and even had her stay in the same room as you. Elie, you’re despicable!” Mervyn’s accusations left Candice stunned. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.”The incident where Candice was nearly harmed, wasn’t that your meticulous plan?” Mervyn shouted angrily.Elio coldly replied, “I admit to the previous actions, but the incident where Candice was almost harmed wasn’t my doing.”Mervyn sneered, “Right, thataccident wasn’t your arrangement because the real perpetrator got there before your act could be carried out. Your hired actors didn’t even get a chance to perform their little show.”
Elio clenched his fists as his blood boiled. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Candice with a mixture of regret and fear.Candice stared at Elio in shockbecause she still couldn’t believe etwhat she was hearing. She hoped tohear Elio explain that none of it was true. UMSElio remained silent. He just looked at her with a remorseful and panicked expression.Mervyn scoffed. He angrily said, “Elio, your dirty deeds aren’t just limited to these. If we counted them all, it would take days.”Elio still remained silent and looked at Candice in melancholy.Having vented his anger, Mervyn grabbed Candice’s hand before leading her out. “Candice, let’s go home,” Mervyn said as they walked.”You have to call off this engagement. You don’t know him, so you have no idea how insidious he is.”As she was being dragged to the door, Candice felt suffocated and tears started to well up in her eyes.She instinctively shook off Mervyn’s hand. She ran back to Elio and choked out, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
