Chapter 821:
“Miss Hewitt, are you going to cancel your engagement with Mr. Benton again p>
They pressed in so tightly she could barely move.
Annabel glared at them and said icily, “No comment p>
Back in the ward, a small smirk curved Candace’s lips.
She hid it quickly and said worriedly, “Ron, Miss Hewitt seems really angry. What should we do now? I’m afraid I offended her just now, but I didn’t mean any of it. I just lost control after she scolded me so harshly p>
Rupert looked at her and said, “Just let her be, Candace. You must be tired, right? Go back to your ward and rest. I’ll take Grandpa home first p>
Candace nodded, then smiled at Bruce. “Bruce, I wish you good health and a long life p>
Bruce nodded curtly, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
After that, Rupert called someone to escort Candace back to her ward.
When she returned, reporters were already camped outside her door, waiting. The moment they saw Candace, they jumped up and rushed over in excitement.
“Miss Cooper, what is your relationship with Mr. Benton now p>
Candace smiled shyly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “Well… if it wasn’t obvious, we’re together now p>
“But Miss Hewitt just accused you of being a mistress. Do you have any comment?” a reporter asked.
“Mistress?” Candace let out a mocking laugh. “She was slandering me. Everyone knows I’m Ron’s first love. It’s funny that you’d even ask p>
“That may be true, Miss Cooper,” the reporter pressed, “but Miss Hewitt is currently Mr. Benton’s fiancée. I also heard you come from an ordinary family that isn’t on the same level as the Benton family. Miss Hewitt, on the other hand, has prominent status and is the CEO of Star Entertainment. Don’t you feel threatened p>
“Threatened? Oh, please.” Candace lifted her chin, her voice light and sharp as she fought to hide the jealousy clawing at her. “Ron likes me, not my family. Love is the only thing that matters. The rest doesn’t count p>

Did it matter where she came from? Once she married Rupert and became the hostess of the Benton family, she would have everything. Annabel would be nothing compared to her.
The reporter asked again, “Also, Miss Cooper, I heard you’re terminally ill. How much time do you have left with Mr. Benton p>
Candace’s smile turned dreamy. “Medicine is so advanced now that I’m sure I’ll recover soon. So don’t worry. Ron and I will be together forever p>
Now that she had managed to make Rupert turn against Annabel with her “advanced gastric cancer,” Candace only needed to push a little harder to break them up for good. Once that happened, she could “miraculously” recover.
It wouldn’t seem suspicious. Medicine was advanced, after all. A sudden recovery wouldn’t shock anyone.
No matter what, Candace was determined to win.
In the car, Rupert and Bruce sat together in the back seat.
“We’ll be home soon, Grandpa,” Rupert said, unable to hide his relief as he looked at his grandfather’s healthier complexion.
