Meanwhile, in the afternoon.

They were in the secret base.

Heinz personally took Lawrence to see Candace. Naturally, he did not forget to be on guard along the way. He successfully captured two people who were tracking them.

Those two people had been hired by Lawrence.

Heinz felt incredibly helpless and angry over his father's vicious plans.

Timothy comforted him, saying, "Don't get mad. He probably just really wants to see Candace. Maybe he's too angry and wants to ask about Candace's feelings, yet we've been preventing him from replaceing her, so he's following you anxiously."

"This isn't the first time he's followed me. Even before Candace was locked up, he'd been following me." Heinz's anger hit the breaking point as bethought about it.

"Maybe he really plans to ask for your financial support, but he doesn't know how to ask."

Heinz shook his head. "Is there anything that someone like him can't say? I don't really believe that he's too embarrassed to ask me for money."

Heinz thought about it and still felt that it was impossible.

Timothy didn't say anything.

However, when he arrived at the villa in the mountain, which looked like a castle, he asked in surprise, "Why did you think of sending her here?" "This place is only five hundred meters away from the mountain villa where I used to live, and it's heavily guarded. My grandfather designed it," Heinz said proudly. "He knows more about security, so this place is easy to defend, but difficult to attack. It's hard for people to enter."

Timothy nodded and looked around the place. It was surrounded by water on three sides and was connected to the road on one. The three sides facing the water had electric fences constructed. The moment someone approached, they would be immediately electrocuted.

As he had a look at the surrounding environment, he understood Heinz's intentions.

It seemed that he did not intend to let anyone see Candace.

"Come on, go in and see her. I've assigned a professional doctor to her, and she will be treated well," Heinz said. "You can see her and question her, but I don't think it's likely that she will tell the truth." "Okay, I know what to do." Timothy said before entering the door.

Soon, he entered the place and saw Candace lying on the bed. Compared to the previous night, she looked older and more ashamed.

Her face was swollen, waxy, and yellow. The wrinkles on her face also made her look very old. Her hands were even worse, with age spots on them.

These were all signs of old age, especially her hair, which was already white. It had become much whiter overnight.

He stood at the door and looked at Candace who was inside, in a trance. No matter how hard he tried, he could not associate this old woman with the woman he once dreamed of.

They didn't look alike at all. She looked old enough to be his parent.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Suddenly, Candace, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, opened her eyes abruptly. Her gaze rapidly met his.

After a moment of slight surprise, she opened her mouth and murmured, "It's you?"

As she spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse. It seemed that she had not spoken for a long time.

"Yes, it's me." Timothy's gaze was deep, and he slightly shifted his gaze from her. Instead of looking at her, he walked over to the bedside and sat down on a stool.

"Why don't you dare to look at me?" She looked at Timothy, who seemed as if he didn't dare to land his gaze on her. She was very unhappy, and said, "Since you came to see me, why don't you dare to look at me?"

His heart tightened and he turned to look at her. He looked into her eyes and said softly, "Because you're too old. You're so old that you can't compare with the person in my memories. I can't bear to see you again. I want to leave behind beautiful memories of you in my heart."

Her eyes furrowed. As Timothy stared at her, there was a tinge of emotion in her eyes, but very quickly, she let out a sneer and mockingly said, "Why? Are you trying to use some soft and pretty words, and reminisce about the past to get information out of me?"

She was very smart!

His heart clenched. It seemed that she was on guard.

At this moment, she still linked her fate with that of Lawrence's. This way of thinking surprised Timothy very much.

Since she didn't love Lawrence, why should she share the same fate as him?

"If that's what you think, then so be it. I do want to know whether the news is related to Lawrence or not."

"It has nothing to do with him. I planned it myself," she said in a low voice. "You don't have to ask Lawrence whether or not it has anything to do with him. Just pin it on me, because I really did plan everything." "I played the entire recording of our conversation last night to Lawrence. He was very angry after hearing it. I also told him that you went to the Smith Villa last night and that you were found in the bed that you and Anderson used to share. He got furious after hearing that and insisted on seeing you." Timothy didn't hide anything, and intended to tell her the truth directly.

That was how he got her true reaction after learning the news.

Sure enough, she opened her eyes wide and said, "Timothy, you framed me!"

"The most important thing now is Grace. Since you and I are a thing of the past, and any feelings we had are now long gone, all I can do is love my daughter," Timothy said. "I'm going to help my daughter get fulfillment, and replace out who did this to her." "Hmph!" Candace sneered. "I told you it's me!"

"Why?" He followed up with, "There must be a reason."

"Because I hate you. It was Grace's existence that caused Anderson and I to no longer be able to have a normal relationship. He abused me to the extreme. I hate you and I hate Grace. I just don't want her to be happy. I want her to suffer. I want you to feel even more hurt and guilty after replaceing out the truth. I'm abnormal like this. That's why I planted the news to make her suffer all her life, but I failed. She is much stronger than I thought."

"You're seriously doing this for their own good?" He asked in astonishment.

"Yes, that's it," Candace said. "I met Henry in Alsburg. He is indeed Lawrence's friend. When we met six years ago, we planned all this. We got him to abduct Heinz's ex-wife, Jodie, in order to prevent her from being with Heinz, because she was not qualified to be his wife since she had cheated. That was the plan for Heinz."

"He didn't want his son to suffer for a lifetime, and be unhappy in a marriage that was like his marriage, so he did all these things, sending Jodie to Aaron and later to Henry." "And the news was plotted by Henry and I not long ago. We wanted to break Grace and Heinz up because if they were together, I couldn't reveal my relationship with Lawrence."
