There was no time to think too deeply. Candice returned to the nursing home hurriedly.
The dean and caregivers were at the door of her grandfather’s room. They sighed in relief upon
seeing Candice. The dean said, “The old man took his daughter inside, and initially, we could hear
thedy crying. We were afraid that Mr. Sundance would get emotionally agitated, so we quickly
called you.”
Thest time her grandfather was discharged, the doctors had repeatedly emphasized the
importance of not letting him get emotionally agitated.
Candice’s gaze darkened slightly. She spoke briefly with the dean and then went forward to knock
on the door.
There was no reply.
Candice said, “Grandpa, it’s me.”
Suddenly, there was a suppressed cough from inside, somewhat rapid.
Candice’s expression.turned cold. She raised her voice. “Yvonne, if you have something to say. say
it to me directly!”
There were rustling sounds inside, and then the door opened. Joe appeared, leaning on a cane
and looking quite displeased.
Candice saw Yvonne sitting alone on the sofa inside, wiping away tears with a lowered head.
Joe’s cough brought her back from her thoughts. Candice looked at her grandfather with a frown
and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Joe waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to say more.
He looked at Yvonne in the room, hit his cane on the ground hard, and then sternly scolded her,
You wicked thing, go back to Noxville! In the future, I’ll consider it as if I never had a wicked
daughter like you!”
He spoke urgently, then started coughing violently.
Candice soothed his back to help him catch his breath while looking at Yvonne expressionlessly.”
If you have any conscience left, you’d better leave now.”
Yvonne stood up, and Candice finally saw her face.

She looked thinner and more haggard than thest time. Her left eye was swollen, with red
bloodshot corners. Her clothes were disheveled, making her look like a sixty–year–olddy.
Yvonne, however, did not look at Candice but knelt directly!
Candice’s pupils slightly widened. Yvonne had already knelt and wasing toward her
grandfather.
“Dad! I beg you, Dad! Save Ivor! If something really happens to him, what am I going to do?!”
“Dad, you can’t ignore us! You just need to talk to that secretary! It’s that simple! Why won’t you
help me?!”
Yvonne cried sorrowfully, holding onto Joe’s pants tightly.
Joe hit his cane on the ground again and sternly rebuked. “Get out! Get out of here!”
The old man was an educator and known for his integrity. Only he never expected his only daughter
to turn out like this!
A few days ago, after Ivor was released, he was still unchanged in his stubborn ways and had
gotten involved in a fight with some hooligans.
This time, they pinned everything on Ivor, iming that he had fought with the nephew of a
secretary from a prominent business association in Noxville.

This secretary was coincidentally a student of the old man, so Yvonne hade running back to
him, begging him to help Ivor.
In a fit of anger, he was unable to say a word as he looked at Yvonne. His body swayed as he fell
two steps backward. Candice quickly stretched out her hand to help support him.
She looked at the miserabledy who was still kneeling on the ground, and even her own cold voice
could not help but shake. “Yvonne, has your heart been eaten by a dog? What did I say to you back
in Noxville? Have you already forgotten?”
Yvonne lifted her head hesitantly, her eyes devoid of any luster, filled with weariness. She looked at
Candice, released her grip on Joe’s hand, and turned to grab Candice. “Help me! Ivor has offended
someone he shouldn’t have. That person said either we pay 500,000, or they’ll cripple him…”
She clung to Candice as if grasping a lifeline.
“Ss!” After Joe, who was by Candice’s side, heard these words, he directly threw his cane next to
Yvonne. He growled. “Ss, quickly get her out of here! I don’t want to see her again!“
