Candice gazed at Elio with teary eyes as she waited for his answer.
Elio felt very guilty. As he looked at her forlornly, he said in a low voice,
"Everything Mervyn said is true."
Candice was shocked. She demanded a reason from him because she couldn't believe it.
Elio clenched his fists to suppress his emotions.
Mervyn walked over and grabbed Candice's wrist. As he was about to leave, he said, "Let's go. There's nothing more to say to him."
Although Candice was still in shock, she let herself be dragged away by Mervyn.
Watching the woman he was about to marry left in front of him, Elio was heartbroken. He wondered how could someone as pure and kind as Candice ever understand or forgive his past actions?"
He walked to the sofa and sat on it. He leaned back against the sofa, looking up at the ceiling. He used his arms to cover his eyes as if to block out the sorrow.
He was suffering from a mixture of sadness, loneliness, and heartbreak.
In just a few days, he went from having all he desired to being left with nothing. His moment of happiness was just a fleeting moment.
Mervyn pushed Candice into the passenger seat before helping her to fasten her seatbelt. After that, he got into the driver's seat and buckled his own seatbelt.
After snapping out of her daze, Candice asked sadly, "Why should I leave? He hasn't explained anything to me."
"He doesn't dare to explain, so don't ask him anymore."
Candice unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door. At that moment, Mervyn quickly grabbed her arm. "What are you doing?"
"Elio is my fiancée. No matter what he's done, I deserve to hear his explanation," Candice said sadly. She feared that if she left now, her marriage with Elio would be over.
"No matter what his reasons are, his methods were dirty, despicable, and toxic. Do you still want to marry such a man?" Mervyn asked angrily.
Candice looked at him with teary eyes. She asked, "You only came back yesterday. How do you know so much? How did you investigate this?" Mervyn was taken aback.
Candice demanded angrily, "Tell me the truth, or I'll cut you off!"
Mervyn admitted, "Fenna gave me the investigation report."
Candice was stunned. "Fenna? Josie's aunt?"
Candice was even more angry, so she forcefully shook off Mervyn's hand. "Even if you all say Elio is bad and despicable, I don't care!
"After the college entrance exams, I didn't go to the same out-of-town university as you, but the local university that admitted me was excellent. It wasn't any worse than the university that you went to.
"It was a pity I couldn't go abroad, but I met an incredible teacher there who unconditionally taught me everything she knew. I had these learning opportunities that other people didn't have!" Mervyn retorted, "Even so, can you forgive Elio's actions? Do you know why he wanted to take you abroad? He did that because he wanted to set you up!"
"Set me up?"

Candice pulled her hand back. "Mervyn, let me go! I need to talk to him?"
Mervyn angrily asked, "Why do you need to see him?"
With tears streaming down her face, she choked out, "Because he's my fiancé. We're getting married."
"Are you crazy? You still want to marry this man?"

his true color and you're still not
