Chapter 1020:
“See that?” Annabel said, her tone icy. “You went into Rupert’s study and stole the North Bay amusement park plans for Ellis. If you were really Candy, how could you do something like that p>
The stage fell eerily quiet.
Then the audience erupted—voices rising louder by the second. Some people stared at Candace with open contempt, their expressions twisting with disgust.
Candace stared at the screen, stunned, shaking her head as if denial alone could rewrite what everyone had seen. The weight of the moment crushed down on her. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed on the stage, breaking into sobs.
“Fine. It’s all my fault! But Ron… Ron…” She lifted her head and clutched at the hem of Rupert’s clothes in desperation. “I did all of this for you. I want to be with you forever. I swear I never gave Ellis the contents of the plan. Please, Rupert—you have to believe me p>
“Haha! Trust you, you say?” Annabel stepped forward and looked down at Candace with undisguised contempt. “After everything you’ve done? You used underhanded tactics to get close to Rupert. You pretended to be pure and pitiable so you could win his sympathy. And not only that—you even faked late-stage stomach cancer just to get engaged to him p>

This is what happens when someone gets narrow-minded and obsessed, thinking no one can see through them p>

“In the end, Candace destroyed herself p>
Voices rose and overlapped until the entire room buzzed with heated discussion.
“No! That’s all false!” Candace cried, panic in her voice as she stumbled back, struggling to regain control. “You’re lying p>
Annabel moved closer with deliberate steps. “Lying? Fine. Then take a look at this p>
She pressed a button, and a video began to play.
In the footage, Candace sat with the doctor in charge of her case, Javier Glyn.
Candace slid a card across to him. “Here’s five million. Take it. Once it’s done, I’ll give you another five million p>
Javier nodded as he accepted it, his voice tense. “I’m only helping you because of Ellis. If Rupert finds out, my life will be over p>
“There’s no need to worry about that,” Candace replied calmly. “Ron is fond of me. As long as you do your job properly, I’ll succeed in marrying him and becoming part of the Benton p>
