My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 326

Alex slowly raised his gaze, his deep, dark eyes stopping on her.

Sonia felt her heart skip a beat when she heard Alex's emotionless voice. "Was what you said to Sawyer true?"

Sonia's footsteps halted. Disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she nodded obediently. "Yes, Xavier told me personally when he was drunk."

Alex's eyes were like deep, still pools without a hint of ripple. He appeared calm on the surface but no one knew what he was thinking.

Sonia gritted her teeth, wanting to step forward. "Lex, I really can explain what happened. Can you stop being angry with me?"

Alex raised a brow, the chill in his expression evident. "Why do you think I did not sue you?"

Sonia's eyes reflected her sense of loss. "What?"

Alex threw the pen in his hand onto the table with an ice-cold expression. "Stealing trade secrets. Just this alone is enough to ensure that you can't escape the court."

Sonia's expression paled. She knew what Alex said was true, and she understood Alex's meaning. Alex had kept her merely for Aether’s sake.

When Sawyer had contacted her that day, Sonia was secretly delighted, thinking that Alex could not bear to part with her.

But now, seeing how cold Alex looked, she realized Alex had kept her because she was still useful.

She had apologized but he was still treating her so coldly. She felt disgruntled. His treatment was unjustified and she wasn’t going to give in.

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Sonia sounded hoarse as she spoke. "Lex, do you have to be so cruel? I have been admitting my mistakes to you for the past few days. Why aren't you willing to forgive me? Do you really not care for our previous feelings anymore? You clearly used to like me so much."

Sonia originally came intentionally appearing pitiful and weak. Now that she was crying, she looked like a great beauty in distress. She stared at Alex, hoping that she could find a hint of tenderness on his face.

In Alex's dark pupils, there was no sign of emotion. He did not even glance at her. He just said expressionlessly. "There are some things I don't want to say a second time."
