Chapter 0525
Candice did not tell anyone of her return to Dorrington. Only Darius had arranged people in
advance to pick her up and bring her to the hotel.
She looked at the sparkling night scene outside, her mind in turmoil.
Darius had already told her about the current situation. Alex was keeping a close eye on Daniel, but
Daniel''s side imed that Alex was not personally involved, and there was no one to verify his
ims.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Darius said, "Daniel is very vengeful. Alex probably doesn''t want you to be involved, which is why
he doesn''t want you toe back. But the truth is, as long as you appear in court, everything can
be resolved."
Candice saw through his intentions. "Then what was the purpose of you constantly hinting for me to
come back?"
"With them messing around like this, who knows how long it will take."
Darius was very frank. "I have a coboration with Alex, and I don''t want to waste time on such
trivial matters."
He was straightforward, showing no regard for what he called trivial matters, which actually
concerned Candice''s safety.
Candice said, "I understand."
Like Darius, there were other people who also did not wish to waste time on such matters.
Helen''s face turned ck as she fiercely threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. Her eyes were
crazier than ever, and her tone was sharp. "Why did you do this? You could have just called
Candice back, but you had to go around in circles like this. Now, Daniel has found a backer!"
In the Sui family vi, Helen''s face was ferocious. She had waited for revenge for decades, and it
could have been resolved so straightforwardly and joyfully. But Alex, for the sake of a woman, had
given Daniel a chance to catch his breath!
Helen screamed, "I don''t care what method you use; you must make him get lost for me! I can''t
stand to see him for the rest of my life!"
"Don''t forget, if it weren''t for me asking your uncles to help you, you would only be suppressed by
that bastard right now. Not to mention being the boss of the Aether branch, you wouldn''t even be
able to enter the gates of Aether!"
"You thought he was your dad and showed him mercy? Just look at him! Did he ever allow you or I
to live well?!"
"I had just married him, and he started fooling around with that slut, Jovita. Besides a pretty face
and the ability to pretend to be weak, what else could that slut do?"
Helen seemed to recall something, and her mood turned sour. She stared at Alex, forcing him to
make a promise. "Alex, you promised me that one day, those who humiliated me would all be
punished."
When she said thest two words, Helen''s voice clearly turned cold, carrying an undeniable hatred.
In Helen''s once beautiful and charming eyes, there was now a reservoir of resentment, nowhere
near the proud heiress of the Sui family that she used to be.
Alex sat opposite her, his expression carrying his usual coldness and indifference.
Helen''s frantic appearance was both unfamiliar and familiar to Alex.
It had been a long time since Alex had seen Helen like this, but in his memory, it seemed to be a
common urrence.
The rtionship between Helen and Daniel seemed respectful and harmonious to outsiders, but in
reality, once they were back home, they either did not speak at all or argued constantly.
At the most serious times, both sides would use the most vicious words to curse each other, and
Alex would not be spared either.
And most of the time, the cause was a woman called Jovita.
Jovita was taboo to Helen, and it was the name Alex heard the most during his childhood.
Helen said that Jovita had seduced Daniel, that Jovita was showing off in front of her, and that
Daniel would abandon them sooner orter because of Jovita.
Later on, Jovita hadmitted suicide by jumping off a building.
With that, oddly enough, Daniel and Helen had a brief period of living together, but Helen would still
privately tell him that Jovita was a slut and that Daniel was not genuinely nice to him. Therefore, he
had to take over Aether and make Daniel regret it.
Helen did all this, enduring humiliation, all for his sake.
Alex heard these words till the day he left the Elysian family.
Helen''s emotions were unstable. When Alex left, he identally saw the bandage on her wrist.
Helen was prone to self-harm when her emotions were intense.
In the past, Helen always said that Daniel had turned her into a lunatic.
Alex stood at the door expressionless as he turned back and looked at Helen. He kept his eyes low.
"I will take care of what needs to be handled. Don''t involve innocent people anymore."
Candice stayed in the hotel for two days before Yana came to find her. "Why didn''t you tell me in
advance when you returned to Dorrington?"
Candice replied, "Things happened too suddenly. I did not expect to return either."
"Is it because of the Elysian family''s family matter?" Yana asked, "The Elysian family is in a mess
now. Uncle Daniel and Aunt Helen havepletely broken off rtions. Ever since Alex sent his
father to court, his reputation in the circle is not good. They all say he''s a ruthless person."
Candice was silent for a moment before saying, "I didn''t ask you about these things."
Yana looked at her and sighed softly. "But you came back for this, right? Otherwise, why didn''t you
even tell Hanley?"
Candice did not reply.
On the day Candice brought Ellis out to do some shopping, she bumped into Helen at the hotel.
Helen looked older than before, with wrinkles showing on her face. She did not look like the well-
maintained wealthy woman she used to be.
Helen also saw Candice. Her gaze paused on Candice, and she was momentarily stunned when
she saw Ellis. However, she quicklyposed herself and said indifferently, "Shall we go over and
talk for a bit?"
"I heard you were abroad. When did youe back?"
Candice replied. "Earlier."
"Does Alex know?"
Candice looked at her.
Helen sneered. "I really don''t know what you did to Alex to make him so infatuated with you!"
"He could quarrel with Daniel for you, and now, for you, he refuses to seize the opportunity, almost
letting Daniel turn the tables. Candice, it seems my dislike for you at first sight was justified!"
Helen gritted her teeth. When Ellis heard her fierce tone, she was afraid and snuggled into
Candice''s arms.
Candice calmly looked at Helen and said, "Daniel has done many wicked things. It''s only a matter of
time before he faces retribution. As for why Alex did this, I don''t know, and I''m not grateful either."
"I hope that Daniel will pay the price more than you do, Mrs. Elysian."
After saying this, Candice left with Ellis. Two dayster, Daniel''s case went to court again, and
Candice waited outside.
When she was summoned to go in, she handed Ellis to Yana and went in with the court staff.
When Daniel, who was originally fierce-looking in the dock, saw her, his expression became even
more frightening.
A fiery gaze followed her, and she knew it was from Alex without needing to look. However, she did
not look back at him. She was only there to seek justice for herself.
