My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 428

Harley relaxed her stance, and Candice nodded in agreement, following her to the café.

"Let's hear it." Harley glanced at the time and then focused her attention on Candice.

Seeing the scene, Zoe, who had been by Harley’s side all along, immediately took out a notebook and earnestly looked at Candice. "Ms. Renault, please tell us the specific situation."

Candice's expression was solemn. She lowered her eyelids, organized her words as best as she could, and explained the sequence of events to Harley in the clearest terms possible.

After she finished, she paused and added, "Ms. Zott, I have all the evidence, and everything I've said is true."

Harley looked up, her gaze scrutinizing. "Since you have solid evidence, why do you need me? If what you've said is all true, the outcome of this case would be the same no matter who handles it."

"Because the lawyer the other party hired is Quil." Candice's eyes showed no embarrassment or panic at being exposed. Her gaze was bright and clear. "He's the best at overturning cases. I can't take the risk."

Harley remained silent and looked at her, assessing her as if she didn't fully believe what Candice was saying.

Candice was actually nervous as she subtly twisted her fingers. As she had said, she couldn't take any risks. This was her only chance. She straightened her back under Harley's scrutiny.

Harley was as serious as her reputation suggested, stern-faced with no trace of emotion. When she spoke or acted, she carried a sense of decisive authority.

Candice pursed her lips and spoke, "Ms. Zott, I can agree to any conditions you have, as long as you're willing to help me with this lawsuit."

Her eyes were sincere, carrying a subtle plea and expectation.

Harley looked at her for a long while before finally saying, "Bring the specific case materials to the law firm at 2:10 this afternoon. I won't wait if you're late."

With that, she got up and left swiftly.

"Ms. Zott hates people who lack punctuality. You'd better hurry back and prepare," Zoe whispered before she left too.

Candice sat where she was, only realizing what had happened after a moment, and then immediately got up to get ready.

All the materials were in the villa, and she had to go back to get them. However, Southern Cross Firm was in the southeast of the city, opposite to where she was.

By the time she arrived at Southern Cross Firm, it was already two o'clock.

Yana had come with her. When Candice went back to the villa, Yana had been playing games in the living room. Knowing she was short on time, Yana offered to drive her to Southern Cross Firm.

Fortunately, after Harley reviewed the materials, she didn't hesitate for long before agreeing, directly instructing Candice to handle the procedures.

Candice's heart finally calmed down a bit.

Zoe led them through the building, and Yana asked her curiously, "Is Ms. Zott usually this easy to talk to? I thought she would surely find an excuse to refuse."

"It's probably because of Quil,” Zoe replied. “Ms. Zott has always wanted to go against him."

Candice didn't care why Harley was willing to take the case, as long as she was willing to handle it.

It wasn't until all the procedures were completed at the law firm and Candice followed Yana out that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you relax a bit now after seeing Ms. Zott?" Yana asked with a smile, but before Candice could respond, her phone rang with a call from Jackson.

"Yvonne has tried to commit suicide and has been taken to the hospital."

Candice was shocked. She almost dropped her phone, but Yana was there to support her.
