My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 193

Chapter 0193 

“Ivor has already spoken to me.” Inside the office, Yvonne nervously rubbed her hands, looking 

cautiously at the young man in front of her. 

Seated behind the desk, Alex appeared cold and weary. His dark eyes assessed Yvonne, carrying 

a hint of sarcasm. 

After a moment, he scoffed and spoke in a cold tone. “Does Candice know you’ve come to see me? 

These days. Yvonne hadn’t been having an easy time. Her father was upset and in the hospital. 

her youngest daughter was also admitted, and Ivor kept calling her daily. 

She wore a pained expression as she glanced at Alex, then began, “Mr. Elysian, it’s Candice’s great fortune to have a boss like you. I shouldn’t have caused trouble at your company before. I 

apologize, I apologize to you all.” 

“And since you were willing to help her before, can’t you help her now?” 

“Help her?” Alex tapped his fingers on the desk, his tone ambiguous. He looked at Yvonne and 

said with a cold voice. “I thought you knew she had been fired by Aether Corporation.” 

*Since she’s no longer an Aether Corporation employee, why should I help her?” 

Clearly, she hadn’t known that Candice had resigned from Aether Corporation. She hadn’t paid 

attention to the online news, assuming Candice was still with Aether Corporation. 

But she quickly reacted and asked, “Then after she got fired, what about the contract your company had with her? Will you still have to compensate her for hundreds of thousands?” 

Alex paused, his cold eyes lingering on her for a few seconds before he drew a completely ironic 

smile. “Yes.” 

“Could you give it to me directly? As her mother, shouldn’t I be able to collect the money on her 

behalf?” 

His face showed no emotion as he stared at her. 

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Yvonne remembered what Ivor had said and added, “We all know about the relationship between you and Candice. Just consider it a gift for me and her dad to meet you. This is what you should do. Besides, you’re a big boss, you’re not short of money. right?” 

The more she spoke, the more she felt she was making sense. “Moreover-”

“I think you’ve misunderstood.” Before she could finish, Alex’s cold and stern voice cut her off. 

His stern gaze bore down on Yvonne, causing her to instinctively shrink back. 

“Candice and I don’t have the kind of relationship you think. It’s merely a matter of mutual benefit, so there’s no obligation for me to give you anything.” 

Yvonne still wanted to say something. “I…” 

Just then, the office door was slammed open, and Candice stood by the door. 

This was exciting. 

Candice had just arrived at the company and overheard her own mother asking Alex for money. And she actually believed they had such a great relationship? 

Candice couldn’t fathom what Yvonne was thinking. Did she have to strip away every bit of dignity 

from her before she’d relent? 

Yvonne hadn’t expected Candice to come. She stood still for a moment, but Candice didn’t care about her expression. She stepped forward and grabbed her mother’s arm. “Come with me.” 

Her voice was icy, akin to the wild storm raging outside. 

Yvonne was dragged by her. She instinctively shook off Candice’s hand, sounding pitifully aggrieved, “Candice, have some pity on me, please. I truly have no other way. You promised to give me five hundred thousand, but you haven’t given it to me.” 

“Yes, I lied to you before, but this time, it’s true. If I don’t take the money back now, he’ll find Peach. And he definitely won’t spare me. Since you’re going to give me the money anyway, why 

not give it now?” 

Candice never knew Yvonne could cling on like a piece of chewing gum and be so shameless 

about it. 

She took a deep breath, finding it hard to hold back. “Yvonne, do you know Grandpa is in the 

hospital waiting for surgery?” 

Yvonne blinked, confused. “Wasn’t he having a stroke? Can he still have surgery?” 

The disbelief and confusion in her words ignited Candice’s anger instantly. 

She turned to Alex. “Are Aether Corporation’s security guards off duty today? Why did you let her 

in?” 

Alex looked at her. “Are you blaming me?”

The surge of anger in Candice was suppressed once again. Yvonne was her blological mother, and it was her own desire for that elusive maternal love that had led her to tolerate her time and 

again. 

So, she couldn’t blame anyone but herself. 

It was truly regrettable. 

“Candice.” Alex’s low and Indifferent voice resounded. He mockingly looked at Candice. “Is that. the kind of relationship you’ve described between us? Then tell me, what kind of relationship do we have?” 

Although his tone was nonchalant, even careless, and it sounded completely mocking in her ears.
