My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s)

Chapter 194

Chapter 0194

Alex’s tone turned cold, and Candice pressed her lips together, not saying anything and leading Yvonne away.

It was already working hours, and outside, Sonia, Julle, and Sawyer were present.

The news of Yvonne’s early visit to Alex had already spread within the company.

Seeing Candice pulling Yvonne out, Sonia’s lace carried a faint smile.

She looked at Candice and said, “Candice, after all, this is a company. I think you should talk to Auntie beforehand. It’s better not to rush in recklessly.”

She didn’t bother concealing anything in front of Candice now, a hint of mockery crossing her face. “Fortunately, Mr. Elysian and I met Auntle this time. Otherwise, If the next time Auntle intercepted by the security and escorted out, it won’t look good on her.”

Candice wasn’t feeling comfortable, but she didn’t have the strength or energy to argue with Sonia.

Her swollen hand still held onto Yvonne, the pain continuing to spread..

Yet, Yvonne, oblivious to the situation, with her arm being pulled by Candice, still attempted to converse with Sonia, “Yes, indeed. It was all thanks to Sonia, or I might not have been able to

enter.”

The disdain in Sonia’s eyes became more evident, but it was momentary as she then smiled and said, “Auntie, if you have anything to do in the future, Just bring Candice along. After all, she’s been

here at the company for so many years, so she knows quite a few people, and that way, no one will stop you. Right, Candice?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

After Sonia finished speaking, she glanced at Candice.

Candice didn’t want to engage with her.

Sonia wasn’t wrong. She had spent many years at Aether Corporation and knew quite a few people. However, she had resigned now, and one of Aether Corporation’s rules was to prohibit

outsiders from entering the company.

Sonia’s words were just a front; she was probably hoping that when the time came, Candice would bring Yvonne and embarrass themselves.

She was scheming, and Yvonne might actually believe her.

Candice’s face remained expressionless as she looked at Sonia and coldly retorted, “Ms.

Her voice fell and she forcefully dragged Yvonne out.

Sonia was originally standing not far from them. As Candice lifted her leg to leave, she

accidentally bumped into Sonia’s shoulder.

Sonia staggered back two steps from the impact, gazing at Candice’s retreating figure with a hint of unhappiness in her eyes.

Why?

Candice had become the company’s laughingstock, so why did she still act so superior?

Inside the elevator, Candice seemed distracted as she watched the descending floors.

She had imagined many scenarios for leaving Aether Corporation, but she never thought it would involve forcibly taking Yvonne away, feeling as though she was being swept out like rubbish.

It was truly embarrassing.

As the elevator descended, several people entered midway, their gazes subtly changing upon seeing Candice leading Yvonne out, but Candice seemed indifferent, silently taking Yvonne’s hand

and leaving the company.

The heavy rain outside showed no signs of stopping: even under the eaves, the wind–driven raindrops felt like a slap on the face.

Candice took a deep breath, shaking off Yvonne’s hand without any emotion. “Wait here. I’ll go get

the car.”

She didn’t want to argue with Yvonne at the office as she had become a subject of ridicule too

often.

Lately, she was mentally exhausted. If she hadn’t kept herself together, she doubted she could

have held on.

She never thought Yvonne would be dependable, but she truly hadn’t expected her to come looking for Alex, demanding money in that tone.

Candice let the rain hit her face, trying to stay somewhat alert.

Yvonne hadn’t said a word to her since meeting up, but now, as if complaining, she said. “Why did you come here?”

Candice halted her steps, turning to Yvonne. “You mean to say you would have gotten money from Alex if I hadn’t come?”

“I….” Yvonne hesitated, averting her gaze. “What I said wasn’t wrong, right? Since you two have that kind of relationship, he should give you some money. I did it for your own good!”

As Yvonne spoke, she felt like she was making sense, even raising her voice.

Suppressing her anger, Candice replied. “That kind of relationship? What kind of relationship do

you mean?”

Seeing Candice’s changing emotions, Yvonne fell silent.

Candice found it utterly ridiculous. This was her biological mother!

She was begging others for money and ignoring her dignity!

Candice’s emotions were turbulent: she ignored Yvonne and headed for the car in the rain.

Each step felt muddy and unpleasant. She disliked rainy days.

Yvonne, initially taken aback by Candice’s demeanor, now sat silently in the car. Her phone rang multiple times, all calls from Ivor.

Candice glanced at the screen but couldn’t understand Yvonne’s interest in Ivor. She might have

tried to advise her in the past, but now, she couldn’t be bothered.

Upon dropping Yvonne off at the hotel entrance, Candice’s mood calmed.

Looking at Yvonne’s aged face, she locked the car doors, and after a moment, she said, “I really

wanted to drive us both to our deaths on the road just now.”

Candice’s tone remained calm, seemingly no different from her usual tone. However, the

fierceness in her eyes startled Yvonne.

“Why did you go to find Alex?” she inquired.

“I… I…” Yvonne struggled to speak, witnessing this cold indifference on Candice’s face for the first

time.

Even when she went to the company before, Candice was more angry than cold and dismissive as

she was now.

Feeling flustered, Yvonne couldn’t hold back her tears again. She spoke softly, “I had no other

choice. You knew I needed the money, but you wouldn’t give it to me…”

“So you went to Alex?” Candice interrupted.

“Candice, listen to me. You’ll still get hundreds of thousands from him, right? Can’t you give me the money first?” Yvonne’s eyes were filled with hope, but Candice’s gaze was colder.

She was still fixated on Alex’s money.

There was nothing more to say.

Candice unlocked the car and said in a low voice, “Pack your things. I’m taking you to the airport

to return to Noxville.”

Yvonne wouldn’t give up on the fifty thousand if she couldn’t get it. Candice was determined to

send her back.

Yvonne was surprised for a moment but then stared blankly at Candice, “When will you give me

the money, then?”

If she couldn’t get the five hundred thousand, she wouldn’t give up.

Candice sighed, “Do you know that Grandpa is in the hospital waiting for surgery?”

Yvonne was stunned for a moment, then said blankly, “You can give me the money now and come

back to take care of him later.”

Candice’s anger surged again but before she could speak, her phone rang.

She glanced at the screen, her brow furrowing slightly.
