My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 412

Sonia no longer hid her malice when she faced Candice. She couldn't stand to see Candice doing well, nor could she tolerate Candice's haughty demeanor. She was determined to bring her down, making sure she couldn't make a comeback.

Sonia's gaze was vindictive, but Candice remained calm as she quietly observed Sonia. Compared to Sonia's surging animosity, Candice appeared much more composed.

Many things were better left unsaid. Verbal sparring didn’t always serve a purpose, especially with someone like Sonia, who seemed like a rabid dog at the moment.

Engaging in verbal battles with such a person held little meaning.

However, the intensity of Sonia's malice still bothered Candice, and a slight furrow appeared on her forehead.

Sonia, noticing this subtle reaction, thought Candice was afraid. Smirking, she looked at Candice and said, "I've given you the chance. Whether you can seize it is up to you."

As Sonia started to leave, Candice, who had been silent until then, calmly called out, "Sonia."

Sonia looked back.

Candice's face remained composed as she held the pen she had used during the meeting, gracefully twirling it between her slender fingers. Although she was at eye level with Sonia, there was an air of disdain in Candice's gaze.

Her voice cold, Candice said, "It seems that when you were with me, your mind wasn't focused on work. During negotiations, remember to cover up properly so that people won’t find out what you did."

Candice's words were calm, but Sonia squinted, unable to grasp their meaning.

That person had told her they would handle everything for her.

Before Sonia could say anything more, footsteps approached the door.

Angela and Yondu stood at the doorway, looking inside.

Angela asked, "Candice, are you okay? We were supposed to have lunch together, remember?"

Sonia glanced at Angela, forced a smile, and gritted her teeth. "Since your friends are here, I'll leave. I'll also talk to Mr. Howles about Burning Star Studio and ask him to help you out."

When Sonia mentioned Burning Star Studio, her tone became particularly harsh. However, Candice remained unfazed.

Redshade Corporation's matters wouldn't be dictated by someone like Sonia, and Hanley had assured Candice he would contact the real person in charge at Redshade Corporation.

With Burning Star Studio now tied to Aether Corporation and Alex likely taking action to prevent Quentin’s monarchy, Candice's priority was to adapt to any changes in Redshade Corporation's regulations.

Sonia left after her harsh words, and Candice packed up to join Angela and Yondu for lunch.

Curious, Candice asked Angela, "Why did you come back?"

"I was worried about you. I even brought Yondu along." Angela looked at Candice curiously and asked, "What did she say to you anyway?"

Candice shook her head without answering. She pondered Sonia's confident demeanor as her expression turned gloomy.

Sonia hadn't always been brazen like this. Clearly, the person backing her had significant influence. Now, she understood why the people at the police station couldn’t do anything about Sonia.
