My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 466

Daniel left the cafe with his secretary, leaving behind the photocopy of the contract and the medical report in front of Candice.

She looked at the two documents blankly for a while, then closed her eyes, her lips moving slightly as she breathed quickly.

After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the photocopy of the contract.

Daniel was right. The loopholes and problems in the contract meant that if Aether Corporation wanted to sue her, she wouldn't even have a chance to defend herself.

She had indeed signed it.

But the contract clearly…

Candice felt as if her heart was being squeezed, as she felt suffocated. The inability to breathe brought a dull pain that made it impossible for her to move.

It was Yana's phone call that finally brought her back to reality.

Yana's voice on the other end was cheerful. "Are you done there? I'll come pick you up now. All right, let's grab a meal and then go for the check-up."

Candice looked at the medical report on the table, her eyes full of confusion. Hearing Yana's words, she shook her head without speaking.

After waiting for a while, she remembered that Yana couldn't see her actions, so she cleared her throat and hoarsely replied, "No need, I don't want to go now."

"What? Why? Why don't you suddenly want to go? Candice, what's wrong? Did something happen? Did Daniel do something?"

Before Yana could finish her sentence, Candice interrupted. She ended the call with a brief, "Sorry, I have something to deal with now."

Sawyer led Sieg into Alex’s office at Aether. Sieg's face was not as carefree as usual, and he held a document in his hand, his expression showing some hesitation.

In the end, he chose to directly place the document in front of Alex. "I won't say much. You can see for yourself."

Alex's hand, which was in the middle of signing, paused. He raised his eyes to look at the document.

He remained calm throughout, with no change in his expression.

Sieg waited for a long time but didn't hear him say anything, so he couldn't help but speak up. "Alex, tell me the truth. Is the child in Candice's belly yours?"

Only then did Alex move and turned to look at Sieg.

Sieg leaned back on the sofa. "If it's yours, Uncle Daniel's actions are understandable. After all, if your child is deformed, it's a huge embarrassment. But if it's not yours, I guess Candice would also go and abort the child. After all, a child like that would suffer if born, and might be ridiculed for life. But why did she used your name—"

Before Sieg could finish his sentence, he felt the sharp and icy gaze Alex cast in his direction.

In the end, Yana went to pick up Candice. Candice had already put the two documents into her bag and only told Yana that she was too tired.

She hadn't even recovered yet from the shock of the contract Daniel had shown her. It was so distant that if Candice didn't have a good memory, she would almost forget that such a thing had happened at all.

Before Candice followed Alex into Aether, Alex hadn't been kicked out of the headquarters by Daniel. So the Aether Corporation Candice had first entered was under Daniel’s management.

That contract was really too distant, so distant that she almost forgot what had happened back then.

She spent the entire journey back home carefully reflecting. Yana thought she was resting because she closed her eyes. She didn't find it strange, after all, pregnant women often felt drowsy.
