Chapter 959
"Hey, what's up?" Jaden wrapped an arm around her, his voice gentle, as his gaze flickered over to Flora, a hint
of curiosity lighting his eyes. He didn't mean to stare, but Flora was just too captivating, making Candace seem a
bit ordinary by comparison.
But then, his eyes caught Beck standing behind Flora. His warm smile faltered for a moment. Beck, Connor's
right-hand guy, was there with a woman. Could she be the mysterious fiancée Connor had mentioned? The same
woman Candace claimed had tried to
embarrass her? Just like that, any admiration he had for Flora fizzled out.
"Mr. Smith," the store manager greeted Jaden warmly. Jaden was known for his easygoing nature and was well-
liked, even in the more questionable circles.
"Oh, it's nothing," Candace replied with a forced smile to Jaden's question. "I just spotted a piece of jade |
thought Nathan would like. Not sure if he'd actually be into it, though."
"It's the thought that counts. Grandpa will definitely appreciate it," Jaden chuckled, giving her cheek a playful
pinch. "I'll cover it."

"No need," Candace winked cheekily. "Didn't you givethat black card? I'll just use that."
The store manager looked at Candace with a mixture of feelings. She'd gone from fierce like a lioness to acting
all innocent like a bunny. And yet, Jaden always fell for her antics.
Candace flirted with Jaden, not caring who was watching-it was more about showing off. Like Flora, she relied on
a man for her status. But her man really loved her, unlike Flora's situation. No matter how stunning Flora was,
Connor might just see her as a temporary fling.
Candace shot Jaden a sweet smile and opened her purse to grab the black card. But it was gone! Her face went
pale as she frantically rummaged through her bag. No sign of the card.
"What's wrong?" Jaden asked, puzzled.
"I..." Candace stammered, her face losing color. That card had ten million on it! She hadn't even spent a cent,
and now it was missing?!
"Lost your card?" Jaden's brow furrowed. It wasn't just the ten million; the card was a rare gem from Bank
Luxury, a status symbol he had worked hard to obtain.
Seeing Candace on the verge of tears, Jaden couldn't blher. He quickly tried to console her, "Hey, it's just a
card. Don't worry about it."
But ten million isn't just nothing! What if Jaden decided she couldn't handle money and stopped giving her any?
Tears welled in Candace's eyes as
she tried to figure out where the card could be. Then it hit her. She
swnov
had bumped into Flora earlier!
That's it!
Flora!
They had collided at the door!
Flora must have swiped it!
It had to be her. The card was there before they met, and gone after.
She glared at Flora, marching over in a huff.

Beck noticed her approach and
Whed, stepping protectively inet
Flora. Why couldn't this
woman just let it go?
If Ms. Flora wasn't so considerate, not wanting to stoop to her level, Candace wouldn't know what hit her!
"Thief! You took my black card!"
swno mét
With Beck in the way, Candace couldn't get to Flora directly, so she shouted from afar.
Flora, examining a painting, looked up, bewildered.
Thief?
Was Candace talking about her?
"Candace, what's going on?" Jaden hurried over, shocked to see Candace so frazzled.
