My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 410

Candice glanced at Alex, hoping to discern some emotion in his eyes, especially after hearing the police's remarks.

Yet, Alex's expression remained unchanged. He met Candice's gaze, appearing calm as if the situation didn't concern him.

Candice's lips twitched slightly as she broke the silence, asking, "Did you catch that?"

Alex drummed his fingers on the table. His dark eyes briefly locked with Candice's as he asked, "Why didn't you inform me about the hotel incident?"

When she mentioned the tampering in her hotel room, her voice hinted at a hint of uncertainty and anxiety, unnoticed by herself.

Alex's tone grew stern, his gaze sharpening. He remarked, "This is Solaris, not Dorrington. Have you forgotten about basic safety precautions?"

His sudden accusation caught Candice off guard, redirecting her planned response.

After a moment, she countered, "Why should I tell you? You're well aware of your connection with Sonia; I shouldn't have to remind you."

She glanced down, letting out a soft scoff as she mocked, "But it seems you're getting busy now. Haven't you heard? Francis has already implicated Sonia in his confession. Remember, 'Righteousness is everlasting and justice always wins'."

Candice looked at the poster on the wall behind Alex, reading each word aloud. As she finished, her gaze returned to Alex. Though faint, her emotions were evident in her eyes, almost as if she were assessing him.

Indeed, Candice was evaluating Alex.

Alex had tolerated Sonia extensively back in Dorrington, but what about now? How far would he go for Sonia?

Her evaluation was evident. Sawyer, noticing her expression, displayed a hint of worry and spoke cautiously, "Candice, Mr. Elysian previously..."

"Sawyer," Alex interrupted calmly.

Sawyer halted. He glanced at Alex but ultimately stayed quiet.

Now, it was clear that Sonia was primarily to blame for the problems Candice had in Solaris.

Standing next to Candice, Barox straightened his posture and cast a sidelong glance at Alex. Then, he addressed the officer, "Is there anything else you need to ask? If not, I need to ensure she eats dinner."

"That's all for now. Just wrap up the paperwork. We may need to reach out to you again."

Barox nodded. Then, he naturally took off his hat and placed it on Candice's head, saying sincerely, "It's windy outside; don't catch a cold."

Candice murmured in acknowledgment. She finished her statement with the police and followed Barox out.

As they approached the door, she paused and turned to give Alex a meaningful look.

Alex remained still, silently observing Candice follow Barox out and keeping his gaze fixed on them.

"Mr. Elysian," Sawyer noticed his demeanor and hesitated before continuing, "Why not explain to Candice that you were protecting Sonia because of the company's secrets and also clarify that Francis's change of heart was because..."

Alex's eyebrow twitched slightly. He averted his gaze and replied with a blank expression, "What's the use in telling her that?"

"But Candice doesn't know," Sawyer persisted.

"She doesn't need to," Alex asserted firmly.

Afterward, the two exited the police station.

Indeed, the wind had picked up outside, blowing harshly against their faces.

Alex gazed at the towering skyscraper with its flashing giant billboards. A thick fog obscured
