Chapter 1016
Chapter 1016:
“Annabel! What nonsense are you talking about? Show me proof that I didn’t get those injuries from falling off the cliff, or you’re just slandering me. This is slander p>
The word “slander” was all she could repeat. As she spoke, her eyes flashed with forced confidence.
She was sure Annabel had no evidence—sure she could never find any.
All Candace needed was for Rupert to believe she was Candy, and he would never leave her. Never.
“Do you think I would come here today without evidence?” Annabel shot back, scowling.
Candace’s confidence faltered. Panic flickered across her face as her eyes darted around. The smugness vanished.
Annabel smirked and turned toward the waiter stationed near the entrance. “Go bring the lady in p>
Candace stopped crying. She stared toward the doorway, forgetting to wipe her tears. Her eyes were swollen and red.
After a moment, a blonde woman—around thirty—walked in.
The instant Candace saw her, alarm shot through her.
Wasn’t that the doctor who had helped her fake those wounds?
What was she doing here?
As the woman stepped forward, Annabel nodded and addressed the crowd. “It took me a lot of effort to find her. This is the doctor who helped Candace fake her injuries. I believe no one knows better than she does how Candace got those wounds p>
“Miss Rose,” Annabel said with a polite smile. “Please explain to everyone what happened p>
Rose took the microphone and glanced at Candace, whose face had gone rigid with shock. Then she said in fluent English, “The wounds on this woman’s back are not from a fall. Someone instructed me to create them using special medicine and materials p>

Ellis narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on the doctor onstage. No one noticed him—everyone’s attention was consumed by Annabel’s revelation about Candace.
“Annabel, let’s wait and see.” Not wanting to waste another second here, he turned and started to leave.
“And…” Rose paused, then delivered something even more shocking. “That man also instructed me to make the fabricated wounds look exactly like injuries from falling off a cliff p>
Candace’s ears rang with the heated chatter rippling through the crowd.
“I didn’t expect Candace to be this shameless! She actually had the nerve to pretend to be someone’s first love. What a bitch p>
“I told you a bar singer couldn’t be innocent. From the beginning, I knew it was impossible for Rupert to be with her p>
“So what about Annabel and Rupert p>
“Didn’t you hear? It was a trap. They spent a lot to make it look like they broke up p>
Their voices weren’t particularly loud, but the words were sharp enough to push Candace to the edge.
She glared at the doctor, her face flushed with rage. There was no way she would let everything slip out of her hands again. Even now, she still wanted to fight, as if Rose’s testimony wasn’t enough.
