My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 426

Candice spoke each word slowly and deliberately. Based on what Jackson had told her last night, she had looked up the information herself.

Lawyers like Quil weren’t just hired with money, so there must be someone helping Sonia.

"Do you remember the settlement agreement, the 800,000? Who do you think it could be?" she asked.

It couldn’t be Quentin. Just by looking at his attitude change towards Sonia in the past few days, it was clear that it wasn’t possible.

Then, if it was someone else—

Then the previous car accident, the stalking, and all those baseless issues in the conference hall...

Thoughts swirled in Candice’s mind. With Burning Star and Aether currently in a cooperative relationship, she felt she could tell this to Alex. It was a reminder for him as well. After all, who knew if Alex would do something because of Sonia again.

Alex lifted his eyes, his gaze light as he looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"I just want to remind you that Aether is now tied to Burning Star. I hope you'll also consider Burning Star before making any decisions."

She got out of the car.

Alex waited in the underground parking lot for a while before leaving.

He returned to the hotel, and was quickly confronted by his grandfather. He stared at Alex, holding his cane. "How could you not know to return to Dorrington with Candy? I was giving you hints the whole time."

"I still have some matters to deal with," Alex replied casually.

"By the time you finish, the iron will have gone cold. Do you know that your good secretary has found a lawyer to sue Candy? I think this is all because of you, so you should solve this yourself—"

The old man was furious, but Alex interrupted him calmly. "My father called me. Almost half of Aether's shares are now in the Sui family's hands."

With that, he turned and left.

The old man sat there for a while in a daze, then couldn’t help but sigh. "This is really, truly... just retribution!"

When Candice and Barox arrived in Dorrington, it was just in time for lunch. Hanley came to pick them up, accompanied by Yana and Jackson.

Yana ran over to hug Candice when she saw her. "You've been gone for so long, I really missed you." She held onto Candice tightly and then glanced at Barox, who was limping beside her, with a look of disdain. "Can you even handle it? I asked you to take care of Candice, but instead, she's taking care of you."

Barox and Yana always bickered as soon as they met, leaving Candice sandwiched between them, her head aching from the noise.

It was Hanley who rescued her. He took Candice to the side. "Are you tired? Get in the car first, we'll talk inside."

Candice nodded. She had come back for this matter herself, so it was better to know as soon as possible. Hanley also knew her personality, so he had specially invited Jackson over today.

Yana knew they were going to discuss serious matters, so she took Barox and left.

After Candice got into the car, she asked Jackson, "Are there any other changes?"

"Quil will arrive in Dorrington tonight. They probably want to resolve this quickly." Jackson hesitated. "Do you know who is helping Sonia? I asked my friend in Solaris, and Quil originally had another case, but he pushed it aside for Sonia."

Candice still held onto her own speculation. Sonia couldn’t possibly have the ability to hire Quil.

She voiced her speculation, and Jackson looked at her strangely. "Could it be Alex?"

"It's not him." Candice refuted without much thought. The situation had arisen too suddenly.
