The Wrong Woman

Candice was in love with Elio?

Just moments ago, Fenna had attempted to reveal Elio's true character to Candice. She portrayed him as intimidating and creepy, hoping it would convince Candice to leave him. Ironically, her efforts seemed to have the opposite effect.

Fenna looked at Mervyn and thought he was an absolute fool. He had actually told her that Candice didn't have feelings for Elio and was merely being deceived by him.

Mervyn slapped his forehead and gave a bitter smile. He slumped back onto the couch, too defeated to continue the argument.

Candice turned to Fenna. "Ms. Hudson, is Josie aware of what kind of person Elio really is?"

Fenna gave an awkward smile. "Of course, she knows. But she's smart enough not to get involved with someone as creepy as him."
