My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 477

Yana didn't stay in South City for long. Before leaving, she went shopping for Ellis and bought a bunch of things, including clothes, formula, toys, and diapers. She basically wanted to grab everything from the baby section.

Candice, accompanied by Ellis, bade her farewell. Yana was reluctant to let go, behaving as if she intended to take the little one back to Dorrington.

As the year-end approached, Candice became noticeably busier. Darius seldom contacted her, but she had to report to him at year-end.

Expanding their presence in South City posed challenges due to the strong connections between local industries. Nevertheless, Darius had given her ample time to work on it.

Some friendly ladies she had met in South City enthusiastically introduced her to a few successful young men. She couldn't decline due to social obligations, so she got their contact information, though subsequent meetings were often short-lived after they heard about her history.

Candice immersed herself in work and gradually found herself in a new social circle and a new life that seemed quite pleasant.

Hanley and the others would be coming to South City around Christmas and would be staying until the New Year. So, Candice bought a plane ticket to Solaris on December 20 to meet with Darius and discuss the plans for the upcoming year.

In the meantime, Candice attended a dinner in South City. It wasn't very formal; it had a mix of people, including some individuals from rich families who were obsessed with taking short videos. They took some videos and uploaded them online.

Meanwhile, Sieg was celebrating a friend's birthday at the bar. As it was a tight-knit community, a lot of rich kids were present.

Right then, a message popped up on Sieg's WhatsApp; someone had sent him a few videos. Just by looking at the covers, he could tell it was from some kind of party.

Sieg wasn't interested. He was about to close the app when a video with a captivating sound caught his attention. His eyebrows lifted, and in a good mood, he whistled lightly.

When Alex received Sieg's message, he had just finished a late-night meeting. ‘Got a video for you,’ Sieg wrote.

Alex replied with just two words—‘Not interested.’

Sieg went silent. However, after Alex got home after finishing work and took a shower, he saw that Sieg had sent the video as he lay on the bed.

The video's cover wasn't clear, but it seemed deliberately focused on someone. Candice wore a beige dress; her previously waist-length hair was now short and slightly curly, making her look even more sharp, youthful, and lively.

She didn't seem like someone in her late twenties. The video was clearly taken without her knowledge. She held a glass and was engaged in conversation, her dangling earrings swaying with her movements.

It was as if she hadn't changed at all. Yet, in some way, everything seemed different.

The video lasted a dozen seconds, with only the first few seconds focused on Candice before jumping to other scenes. Alex replayed it several times before calling Sieg.

Sieg answered quickly, his voice lazy. "What's up?"

Alex, shirtless and wearing gray shorts, stood by the window as he asked, "Who sent you the video?"

"A friend from South City. We planned to go on a road trip together,” Sieg replied. “Done with work?"

Alex hummed in response. The room was warm due to the heater, but it felt a bit stuffy.
