Candice was stunned.
She could understand Kyle causing trouble—but now even Jessica was trying to take advantage of the situation?
And this, right after she’d just given Jessica a way to save face, sparing her from embarrassment in front of Charlie over what happened the night before...
Talk about repaying kindness with betrayal.
Charlie’s expression remained calm, but the warmth in his deep, elegant eyes had faded, replaced by a quiet intensity.
He didn’t look at anyone else—only at Candice.
“Do you want to resign?”
“Of course not!”
Candice answered without hesitation.
She was about to divorce Kyle anyway, but even if she weren’t, he had no right to make decisions for her.
Kyle’s face darkened, a thundercloud of suppressed rage.
Jessica, too, stared at Candice with icy fury.
