Chapter 470
Chapter 470:
The contract with Caleigh was already secured, and the remaining details could easily be passed on for others to handle. After settling the company’s matters, Kailey stepped out of the building — and right away, her eyes landed on Candice leaning against a red sports car.
Today’s look was a sharp change. Rugged coveralls and heavy boots replaced her usual polish.
“Hi.” A crooked smirk tugged at Candice’s lips. “I was beginning to think I missed my chance to catch you p>
Indifference settled over Kailey’s face. “What do you want p>
“Do I need an excuse just to see you?” Drama colored Candice’s tone as she pressed a hand to her forehead. “I thought we were friends, Kailey. You’re treating me like a stranger p>
Amusement slipped into Kailey’s laugh. “You picked the wrong career. With talent like that, you belong on a stage p>
“You think so?” Candice nodded in agreement. “My father says the same thing p>
Patience drained from her expression, and irritation sharpened her gaze. With a rough motion, she pulled the car door open. “Get in p>
Kailey stood still and watched her with a cool stare. “Say whatever you came to say p>
Surprise flickered across Candice’s face before it twisted into a scoff. “Afraid I’ll bite?” Arrogance rolled off her posture as she leaned an arm on the doorframe. “I heard you’ve been digging into that old woman’s situation nonstop. Want to see something interesting? Decide now. Are you coming p>

The way she spoke made it seem as though Kailey truly had a choice.
Suspicion tightened Kailey’s brow. “What did you do p>
Innocence painted Candice’s smile as she lifted both hands. “I didn’t do anything. Someone from my company died, so showing concern is only natural. Are you getting in or not p>
In the end, Kailey got in.
A trap might have been waiting, yet she refused to look away.
Thunder ripped through the street when the Ferrari’s engine roared to life. Evening traffic had thinned, and the few cars left scattered from the sound. Fear stiffened Kailey’s grip on the handle until her knuckles paled. “Candice, racing inside the city is illegal p>
“Relax.” Delight flickered in her eyes as Candice watched the tension build. “Forget the rules. If you’re scared, hold on tighter p>
She crushed the accelerator. The red car streaked across the overpass like a slash of light.
When they stopped, Kailey sat frozen for a long moment.
A wide grin spread across Candice’s face as she popped her seatbelt free. “Well? That was fun, wasn’t it p>
Kailey stepped out without a word, her expression sealed tight.
Recognition struck the moment she looked around. They were standing at the construction site where the old man had once worked. Shadow swallowed the unfinished frame of the building, and the structure loomed like the bones of a dead beast.
Stillness held her at the entrance while she stared into the darkness ahead.
“Come on.” Candice draped a hand over Kailey’s shoulder. “I’ve always loved nighttime. This kind of darkness feels peaceful to me.” Hearing no reply, she glanced over. “What about you p>
“I don’t like it.” Kailey kept her eyes forward, focused on her footing, alert to her surroundings.
