Chapter 371:
Candace had to be Candy!
She was the girl he had been searching for all these years.
“Candy, it’s really you,” Rupert said softly. Any trace of doubt had been dispelled.
“Ron, do you finally recognize me p>
Relieved, Candace broke into a happy smile and threw herself into Rupert’s arms. “Oh, my God! I can’t believe I finally got to see you again. When I fell off the cliff, I thought that would be the last time I’d see you p>
Rupert frowned as soon as Candace got close. There was something about her scent that threw him off.
She didn’t smell like the Candy in his memory.
Well, it had been years since they last saw each other. Perhaps her scent had changed over time.
Rupert gently pushed Candace away. Recalling the past, he sighed wistfully. “After you fell off the cliff, I was saved by the people my father sent to find me. Candy, I’ve been looking for you all these years. How come I wasn’t able to find you? What happened after you fell off the cliff p>
Candace sighed heavily. “When I fell, I was seriously injured. Fortunately, I was saved by a hunter. At that time, my injury was so bad that I had to be taken to Australia by a foreign philanthropist. He had me treated and accepted me as his adopted daughter. I’ve been in Australia this whole time. After my adoptive father passed away, I came back to find my biological parents. It took a lot of effort, but I finally found them. It turned out that they were forced to abandon me when I was a baby. Over the years, I always thought that they abandoned me because they didn’t love me p>
At this point, Candace’s voice cracked and she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Rupert handed her a tissue and said softly, “Shh, don’t cry p>
“Thanks.” Candace took the tissue and wiped away her tears, sniffling pitifully. “So you went abroad? No wonder I couldn’t find you p>

Rupert nodded.
“Ron, were you looking for me this whole time?” Candace looked up at Rupert tearfully.
Rupert nodded solemnly. “Yes p>
“I’ve been looking for you, too!” Candace said in a somewhat regretful tone. “Well, truth be told, I’ve seen you on the news before. But I didn’t know it was you, because I know you as Ron, not Rupert p>
After a pause, she continued, “I think today was a blessing in disguise. If I hadn’t hit your car, I doubt our paths would’ve ever crossed p>
“By the way, why were those two men chasing you? How come you owe them money?” Rupert asked suddenly.
The two men were obviously thugs. How did Candy get involved with them?
Candace lowered her head sadly. “My grandmother is seriously ill. I needed a million dollars for her surgery. There’s no way my part-time job at the bar could cover it, so I had to borrow some money p>
“I see,” Rupert murmured, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Raising her head, Candace locked eyes with Rupert and said sincerely, “Ron, thank you so much for saving me. I promise I’ll work hard to pay back the money you gave to them p>
