My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 249

GET IT NOW 

Chapter 0249 

After Ivor got the money, he disappeared for a few days. 

Lately, Candice had been thinking a lot about the money Alex had given out. 

Ivor and Yvonne seemed to be in it together. Candice didn’t want to get involved with those two troublemakers again, so she hadn’t gone looking for them. 

Moreover, even if she did, it might not solve the problem. 

As for the loan sharks, that was even less likely. 

“Candice, what’s wrong with you? You’ve seemed preoccupied these past few days,” Nadia’s voice interrupted Candice’s thoughts, bringing her back to reality. 

She looked at Nadia. “It’s nothing, just thinking about some things.” 

“Is it about your grandfather? It shouldn’t be a problem. I spoke to my aunt about it before. She said as long as there’s no rejection within half a month after the surgery and he rests well, there 

shouldn’t be any problems afterward.” 

Candice nodded silently, not saying anything. 

She had stayed in the northern part of the city until the evening before returning to the villa. 

Ultimately, it wasn’t safe over there. In fact, Hanley and everyone else were against Candice going. 

back there to live. 

The department amended its decisions based on the changes in circumstances. 

After seeing Burning Star Studio and Blue Artifact’s cooperation, they handed the cooperation 

contract to Burning Star Studio. 

So, Hanley and the others have been hurrying to revise the plan recently. 

As someone who wasn’t directly involved in the industry, Candice was in charge of the logistics. 

She had gone out today to buy some things, and Nadia had tagged along. At this moment, Nadia 

walked beside Candice with bags in hand. 

She looked at Candice and said, “Candice, if you have anything on your mind, you can talk to the boss. He should be able to help you. 

“Although he has no relationship with the Baldwin family now, he’s still quite capable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought us to where we are today.” 

Candice nodded, not refusing Nadia’s kindness. “I know. If I need help. I’ll definitely ask.” 

“In fact, don’t you think the boss is pretty good–looking? He’s got a good education, is paid well, and has a good personality. Candice, you actually-” 

Before Nadia could finish her words, Candice interrupted her, “Nadia.” 

Nadia was taken aback, and Candice asked, “Has Aether Corporation’s contract not been signed yet? Will it have a big impact if it’s delayed?” 

Candice was clearly changing the subject. 

Nadia smiled bitterly and looked at Candice helplessly. 

“Candice, you ask me the same question whenever you want to change the subject these days.” 

Candice replied, “Really? I’m just a little worried.” 

Nadia shook her head. “You just don’t want to hear about yourself and Hanley.” 

Candice remained silent and didn’t respond. 

After a moment, she sighed softly, “I don’t have the energy to think about these things now. Hanley is very good, but please don’t make such jokes anymore.” 

Wasn’t this sort of a rejection? 

Nadia felt sorry for Hanley for a moment. 

They had been friends with Hanley for many years, so how could they not see Hanley’s feelings 

for Candice? 

However, it was clear that Candice wasn’t in the mood for such things right now. 

In addition, things with Hanley’s mother were also unstable. Because of that, he probably didn’t 

want to involve Candice. 

Nadia felt a little sad. 

Candice and Hanley were really similar. They didn’t openly express their feelings or thoughts! 

When they returned to the villa, neither of them said anything, but they encountered someone 

unexpected. 

Helen and a dignified middle–aged woman came over from where the sauna was located. 

When they saw Candice, Helen abruptly stopped.

Jessica was slightly surprised and asked Helen. “Is that Alex’s girlfriend?” 

Helen’s expression turned bitter. “Girlfriend? What nonsense.” 

Jessica noticed her attitude and chuckled. “My bad. I heard from Susan that Alex has had several companions over the years. Why are you so worried about him? It only strains your relationship 

with him.” 

Helen pondered for a moment. “If Susan hadn’t been engaged already, I would have wanted her to be my daughter–in–law. None of those low–class girls Alex brings around can compare to her!” 

As soon as Helen finished speaking. Candice happened to walk by with Nadia. She caught the 

second half of Helen’s statement. 

Helen lifted her chin arrogantly, casting a disdainful glance at Candice. “Some people just lack self 

-awareness.” 

Candice remained unfazed. With people like Ivor and Yvonne in her past, Helen’s words didn’t 

affect her at all. 

Candice didn’t even stop walking for a second. 

Jessica observed her thoughtfully, and Candice noticed her gaze. She paused briefly and nodded slightly at Jessica. 

Jessica was taken aback momentarily but returned the gesture with a smile. 

After walking for a while, Jessica asked Helen, “What’s wrong with her? Why does she seem so down?” 

Helen rolled her eyes. “How should I know? Maybe someone died in her family.” 

Jessica shook her head and didn’t say anything. Although she majored in psychology in college. she hadn’t used her professional knowledge since she got married. 

However, Jessica could still sense that something was off with Candice’s emotions when she saw her just now. 

She glanced at the already irritated Helen and explained, “It’s an occupational hazard. I’m used to observing others.” 

When Candice and Nadia arrived at the villa, Hanley and the others were fiercely debating something.

As Candice and Nadia put away the groceries in the kitchen, Candice’s phone rang. 

It was Alex. 

His voice was cold and tinged with fatigue. “Come to Aether Corporation for a bit.” 

“What’s the matter?”
