The Wrong Woman

Chapter 944

Candice was utterly speechless. She leaned back in her seat, turned her gaze out of the car window, and ceased her questions about their destination.

An hour later, the car turned into the driveway of an upscale neighborhood and halted in front of a luxurious high-rise apartment building.

Mervyn stepped out first and led Candice through the community grounds, eventually ascending to a higher floor using an elevator. Candice's curiosity grew throughout the journey.

Mervyn brought her into a lavishly decorated apartment. Her heart sank as soon as she saw the owner of the house. Mervyn had introduced her to Josie's aunt, Fenna.

Fenna greeted them politely with a warm smile and invited them to sit. Shortly after, she signaled to a maid to bring over some refreshments. Candice mustered a strained smile, struggling to maintain politeness while harboring a desire to throttle Mervyn. Meeting Fenna was something she had never anticipated.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Fenna cut to the chase. "Candice, let me clarify. I'm not bringing this up on Josie's behalf, but rather because Mervyn sought help from her. Unaware of the situation, Josie turned to me for help instead."

Candice offered an awkward smile.

"And I'm sure you understand that given my husband's position, delving into someone's background isn't much of a challenge," Fenna added.

Brimming with anger, Candice questioned Mervyn through clenched teeth, "Did you ask them to dig into Elio?"

"Yes, I asked for Josie's help and Ms. Hudson uncovered everything. It's time you open your eyes and see the truth about him," Mervyn responded boldly.

Candice drew in a deep breath,

Fenna rose from her seat and made her way to the study. Within moments, she emerged holding a pile of documents. Seating herself opposite Candice, she went through the papers and passed one over, stating, "Here's the hospital where Éto stored his sperm."

Candice's frustration boiled over and she clenched her fists, scolding, "Whether he stored sperm or not, that's his private affair. Do you have any sense of boundaries?"

Annoyed, Mervyn said, "Just check out the document first."Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Candice's irritation deepened. She was utterly exasperated with Mervyn. What was he playing at? Reluctantly, she took the document and examined it closely. To her astonishment, her name was listed as the only authorized user of the sperm.

Fenna passed another document to Candice. "Here's Elio's diary from a few years back."

Candice was incredulous. "You even have his diary?"

Fenna offered a faint smile while brushing off the significance. "Elio's mother read his diary and passed it on to Josie. She shared this particular entry with me."

A growing discomfort settled in Candice's chest. These self-proclaimed elders showed a complete lack of respect for Elio. The invasion of his privacy by reading his diary was simply intolerable.

Utterly ticked off, Candice glanced down at the few lines written in the diary.

"I had that dream again-the one where I slept with Candice. She was crying sorrowfully. What should I do? I'm losing control of my inner demons. I want her to have my children, many, many of them. When will my wish come true?"

Candice didn't find anything particularly alarming in the entry. She checked for the date, but there was no year mentioned. She asked, "When was this diary entry from?"

Annoyed, Mervyn snapped, "The date isn't what matters! What you need to understand is that he doesn't truly love you. He's merely obsessed with your appearance and gics. To him, you're just a tool for having children!"
