My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 430

Candice's words were directed at Alex as she probed him.

However, Alex remained calm, just lifting his eyes slightly as he asked, "Is that so?"

"Do you know who it is?" she pressed.

The person who could get Quil to defend Sonia and make her say such things must have a high status and position.

Candice had racked her brain, trying to think of anyone she knew in Solaris who was associated with Alex, but couldn't come up with anyone. So she could only ask him directly.

Alex looked at her, his black eyes deep and calm. After a while, he blinked lightly. "I don't know."

Candice stared at him for a moment, not seeing any unusual emotions. She bit her lip and looked away.

Harley asked several more questions, and Candice answered each one, all similar to what was written in the materials.

"All right, I understand the specific situation now. If I have any more questions later, I'll come to you again." After Harley finished speaking, she handed something to Candice. "Some procedural manuals for you to look over."

Candice thanked her and prepared to leave. Just as she was about to go out, Zoe came in with an envelope in her hand. "Ms. Zott, the things have been brought over."

Without lifting her head, Harley said, "Give them to Mr. Elysian."

Candice paused for a moment when she heard this, realizing why Alex hadn't left yet. She pursed her lips and left the room.

In the office, after Harley finished her work, she looked up at Alex and pushed her glasses up. "Mr. Elysian, do you have any more questions? If not, I have other matters to attend to."

Alex's expression remained unchanged as he said simply, "What do you think your chances are compared to Quil?"

Harley paused, not expecting him to ask such a question.

However, as Alex was currently a major client of the Southern Cross Firm, and even though she was puzzled, she still said, "I won't say it's one hundred percent, but I take responsibility for all cases."

Candice waited outside for about ten minutes before Alex came out.

She pursed her lips and walked towards him. He saw her and slowed his pace.

Candice also didn't waste time and directly asked him, "Weren't you in Solaris? Why are you in Dorrington, and why are you here?"

Alex's black eyes dropped slightly for a second but quickly lifted again, looking ahead expressionlessly. "I came back temporarily to sign a contract. Aether Corporation wants to change law firms."

"Did you arrange for Ms. Zott to be at Aether the other day?" Candice asked.

Only now did she realize how many coincidences there were.

Why else would Sawyer specifically call her that night to ask her to go to Aether Corporation the next day? Why else would she happen to meet Harley?

It was all too coincidental.

She followed Alex out of the building, and stopped in front of his car.

Candice's emotions surged in her heart. She looked up at Alex, her eyes clear, and her tone serious. "Alex, if it was you who arranged this, I am very grateful."

She meant what she said.

After all, the best lawyers in Dorrington were all in the Southern Cross Firm and Harley was among the best. With her help, Candice felt less stressed.
