My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 317

Sonia's face stiffened. "He has to work overtime tonight. He's very busy."

"Even if he's busy, he still needs to eat, right? Oh, Sonia, you wouldn't be unwilling to let your boyfriend meet us poor relatives, right? Let me tell you, this won't do..."

Jocelyn's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, and Sonia's face became unpleasant.

She hurriedly exchanged a few words and returned to her room.

However, as soon as she entered, Joan followed.

Uncovering her displeasure, she scolded in a low voice, "Did you have a quarrel with Alex?"

Sonia hesitated, "I—"

Joan spoke sternly, "How many times have I told you not to quarrel with Alex? No matter the reason, quickly make up with him!"

"Bring him home for dinner in these few days. I have assured Jocelyn that I have a way to let her son become a secretary at Aether Corporation."

Joan kept nagging, but Sonia felt increasingly annoyed.

Several times, she wanted to interrupt Joan's words but was glared back.

Finally, when Joan left, the tension on Sonia's face immediately collapsed.

How could she bring Alex to have dinner with them?! She couldn't even see him now!

Alex was determined to drive her out of Aether Corporation.

Sonia was so frustrated that she didn't notice her phone, which she had casually thrown on the bed, receiving several consecutive messages.

Looking at that string of phone numbers, she felt even more annoyed.

But with no other choice, she could only pick up her phone and make a call.

The matter of Sonia giving confidential files from Aether Corporation to Horizon Holdings spread quickly within their circle, creating a commotion.

Even on Candice's side, she received inquiries from many people she had connections with in the past.

She uniformly denied any knowledge of it, pushing the questions back.

However, as the situation developed, it became much bigger than Candice had anticipated.

When Yana came over, she was carrying a few cakes and said they were a gift from her blind date.

The Landor family was determined to have Yana go on blind dates everywhere.

Hence, her father had arranged seven or eight blind dates for her in a single day.

Candice didn't eat much cake. She comforted Yana, "Arranged marriages are quite challenging."

Yana rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Marriage my foot. Only I get to decide my own life."

"But speaking of arranged marriages—" Yana paused while drinking water, looking at Candice, hesitating.

Candice sensed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

After a moment of consideration, Yana said, "You know that Aether Corporation is not doing well recently, right?"

"I know."

The market in Dorrington was stagnant, and Alex had long shifted his focus to the Solaris market.

However, with Sonia's little issue, almost all the opportunities for Aether Corporation had been overturned.

Horizon Holdings took advantage of the situation to suppress Aether Corporation, causing the company's stock to plummet.

Yana said, "Since Aether Corporation's situation is now unstable, Alex's parents are also looking for a match. My dad mentioned it to me that day, and I retorted back at him."

Candice paused. "If the Elysian family wants to arrange a marriage, they should have no shortage of candidates."

After all, the Elysian family was a big household in Dorrington, and Aether Corporation was just a small company thrown to Alex by Daniel to let him practice.
