My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 0255 

Regarding Ivor’s explanation, he did this because he thought Candice might not give him money anymore. Therefore, he came up with this deceitful plan to secretly take Joe away. This way, he could continue to extort money from her. 

When Nadia told Candice about the situation, she couldn’t help but curse, “Truly stupid and malicious. Are they not afraid of karma?” 

Candice’s face turned paler. 

The reason sounded ridiculous and laughable, extremely foolish. Yet, it was precisely this foolish idea that led to Joe’s death. 

Yvonne and Ivor were still in custody. Jackson and Hanley, along with others, had been accompanying Candice for several days. 

Over these few days, Candice had become significantly thinner. She was already slender, but now, she looked even more skeletal, and her clothes hung loosely on her. 

“Candice, I know you’re feeling upset, but you can’t stop eating,” Jackson said, holding a thermos in his hands. He looked at Candice with a sigh, “This is a soup made at home. At least have a little. 

” 

She replied, “Leave it there; I’ll drink it later.” 

This excuse had been used for several days, and each time, the things left there hadn’t been 

touched much. 

Before Jackson could say more, his phone rang. Glancing at it, he furrowed his brows lightly. 

Soon, he handed the thermos to Hanley next to him, “You watch her eat a bit. I need to take this 

call.” 

With that, he left in a hurry. Hanley directly poured half a bowl of soup in front of Candice. 

His peach–blossom eyes, which were usually slightly raised, now held an inexplicable emotion. Grandpa would be very worried if he saw you like this.” 

She paused for a moment and then accepted the bowl. 

But instead of drinking, she asked him with a hoarse voice, “Can he still see me?” 

His pupils slightly darkened, and he said gently yet firmly, “Yes, he can. He can’t bear to let you go.

Holding the bowl, Candice fell silent and didn’t say anything. 

She lowered her head, lips tightly pressed, and only the movement of the soup in the bowl indicated that she was trembling. 

Her grandfather’s funeral took place two days later at the Western Suburbs Cemetery. 

Last night, the weather forecast had predicted rain for today, but until now, the sky remained clear. 

Candice wore a long black dress, holding two bunches of flowers. One was placed in front of Joe’s tombstone, and the other was placed in front of a nearby tombstone. 

His grave had already been selected right next to Candice’s grandmother. 

Looking at the two photos on the tombstone, a faint smile appeared on Candice’s face. 

After a long pause, she softly said, “Grandpa, have a safe journey.” 

Behind her, Jackson also bowed to the tombstone. “Grandpa, I will take care of Candice.” 

After the worship was complete, the group slowly left. However, they unexpectedly encountered someone unexpected at the cemetery entrance. 

Nina, with delicate makeup on her face and carrying a high–end handbag, followed behind Ava. 

Candice didn’t notice her until she heard a voice calling her. “Ms. Renault?” 

Candice paused. Recently, she had been mentally exhausted, and it took a moment before she 

recognized Nina. “Ms. Burgess.” 

Nina looked her up and down for a moment, “I heard you were fired by Alex from Aether Corporation?” 

She raised her eyebrows and continued, “It’s a little bit unexpected.” 

“Nothing surprising.” Candice had no energy to engage in verbal disputes with Nina. She replied in 

a low voice and was about to leave. 

Nina smiled. “It’s quite good. At the very least, after I get engaged to Alex, he shouldn’t mind that 

much.” 

Candice’s eyelashes sank. 

When she was in Stugan City, Ava had shown obvious intentions to match Nina and Alex. Moreover, Nina’s conditions did meet Helen’s criteria for choosing a daughter–in–law. 

However, these matters had nothing to do with her.

Meanwhile, Nina’s tone was ostentatious as she sneered, “With your background, you m into the Ebisian famib 

Candice had no mood for verbal disputes with her. As if she hadn’t heard Nina’s words, she lifted her tea and walked away 

It was Nadia who retorted, “You think you’re extraordinary just because of your noble background,” 

Candice walked without any emotions until she reached the parking lot. She stopped and said, “I want to go back to Northdale today.” 

That side hadn’t been cleaned up since the recent harassment by loan sharks. Jackson instinctively said, “It’s not safe over there.” 

Candice said, “I want to go back and tidy up a bit.” 

Til accompany you,” said Hanley in a low voice. 

He looked at Candice. “If you insist on going, I’ll accompany you. The last incident left us in fear.” 

He paused, “I’ll accompany you, so rest assured.“ 

Candice recalled the night of knocking and window–breaking, remaining silent for a moment. 

Just as she was about to nod in agreement, the window of a black Maybach next to them suddenly rolled down. 

When she had walked over, her expression was absent–minded, and she hadn’t noticed this car 

just now. 

Alex’s profile was stern, his hand casually resting on the steering wheel. He glanced over at her, his eyes showing a hint of impatience. 

Candice was momentarily stunned, and her gaze collided with Alex’s, but it was just a moment before she quickly looked away. 

His eyes narrowed slightly as he casually tapped the steering wheel twice with his fingertip. His taut jawline was clear, and he lifted his chin slightly. Dark emotions surged in his black eyes. making it hard to discern what he was thinking.
