My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 469

Candice's flight was set for ten in the morning. At first, Yana offered to drive her to the airport, but Candice declined.

She booked a ride using a ride-hailing app, and the car was already waiting outside their villa.

Hanley helped her with her suitcase while Yana grumbled unhappily, "You're off to Solaris for who knows how long, and Nadia's heading off to study. I'll be stuck here in Dorrington all alone."

Candice suggested, "You could come visit me in Solaris."

Yana shot her a resentful look but decided against saying more. Instead, she sighed, "Forget it! I don't like Solaris. The people there are too competitive. It's tiring."

Hanley approached after loading the luggage into the trunk. His tall, graceful figure stood silently beside Candice.

This trip to Solaris was for Candice to oversee the entire project with Redshade Corporation, a task expected to last two to three months.

Despite being pregnant, Candice hadn't gained any weight. If anything, she seemed even more slender.

After a moment, Hanley handed her a small talisman.

"Until you return," he said softly.

Candice was surprised. Hanley had also given her a talisman during the New Year.

"I got it from Stugan. They say it's very effective," Hanley explained briefly.

His gaze, usually clear and composed, now held a rare emotion as he encouraged, "Take it, Candy."

His voice was low, soothing, and had a magnetic quality, almost as if he were coaxing her.

Candice's heart skipped a beat as she instinctively took the talisman.

Shortly after, Candice hopped into the car to head to the airport.

As they turned the corner, Candice happened to catch sight of a white car in the rearview mirror. She noticed it tailing them when they left, but she didn't pay much attention to it at first.

However, as they approached the elevated road, she realized the car was still behind them, keeping the same distance and showing no signs of overtaking or changing lanes.

"Driver, could you speed up a bit?" she asked, her voice tinged with hesitation.

"Why? Are you in a rush?" the driver questioned.

"I..." Before she could finish, a loud honking sound came from behind, followed by the driver swearing and suddenly making a sharp turn—

They were just about 200 meters away from the entrance to the elevated road with a turning intersection to the right and a green belt to the left.

However, the honking continued!

Meanwhile, over at the Aether Corporation branch, Alex was seated at his desk, a document laid out in front of him.

Sawyer spoke cautiously, "We've gathered all the information we could find. It appears that 30% of the Aether Corporation shares have indeed been transferred to Oscar by the Chairman."

Glancing over the document, Alex's expression remained serious and unreadable.

Sawyer paused, uncertain about what to say next.

Given that Oscar Sanburg had been personally brought to headquarters by the chairman, it was evident to many that Daniel intended to groom Oscar.

Alex, despite being the chairman's biological son, had been exiled and had difficulty returning to headquarters, while Oscar...

Despite the situation, Sawyer continued, "Recently, there was a board meeting at the headquarters led by Mr. Chandler and a few other major shareholders. They seem to be at odds with the Sui family and are likely to side with Oscar. The Sui family may approach you soon. Just be prepared..."

Before he could finish, Alex's personal phone suddenly rang.

The next moment, Sawyer witnessed a sudden change in Alex's expression as he picked up the phone.

Alex then rushed straight to the hospital.
