My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 500

Candice hadn't been to the hospital in the past few days, but Shawn had called a few times. However, every time, he would bring up Ellis after just a few words.

Candice's excuse was always that Ellis was asleep. Although she knew he meant no harm, he was still a member of the Elysian family. She was now very cautious around them.

After hearing a few more of Shawn's inquiries, he couldn't help but notice. He had to concede. "Candice, I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, I'm not an unreasonable person. Since you said you have nothing to do with Alex, then I won't insist. It's Alex's own misfortune, can't blame you.

Don't worry, with me around, no one would dare to bully you and Baby Mulberry."

Shawn spoke sincerely, which was tantamount to declaring his stance and giving Candice a morale boost.

After thinking for a moment, she sincerely said, "Thank you."

Shawn smiled bitterly, said a few more words, and hung up the phone.

Bruno was beside him. Seeing the loneliness on Shawn's face, he comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, grandchildren have their own blessings."

Shawn waved his hand, his tone was filled with indescribable bitterness. "Candice is a stubborn child, and that rascal Alex has a bad temper. Before, she was devoted to him, but now that she looks down on him, what blessings can he have?"

Bruno said, "Don't be so pessimistic."

"My granddaughter is about to call other old men grandpa. Should I still smile?"

Candice didn't know Shawn was still thinking about letting Ellis call him grandpa. She was taking Ellis to the airport to pick up Hanley.

Hanley's plane was arriving in Dorrington City in the afternoon.

Since he went abroad, they hadn't seen each other for three months.

Ellis liked Hanley very much. When she saw him, she rushed into his arms. Hanley was somewhat helpless. "I'm dirty."

They went straight back to the villa. After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, Hanley looked very tired. Candice didn't disturb him much and left with Ellis.

On the way, she received a call from Yana, saying that the final result on William's side had been determined, and he had to stay inside for three months.

This result was somewhat unexpected to Candice. She thought it would be at most half a month, considering the Zanford family's stance, they would have insisted on protecting William.

"I heard that Alex insisted on not letting go, causing the cooperation between Aether and the Zanford family to collapse directly. Daniel was furious." Yana sighed. "I didn't expect Alex to be so principled."

Alex's actions shocked people in their circle. After all, it was like cutting off his own path.

People in the upper circle appeared glamorous, but they were selfish. As long as something didn't hit anything vital, it was wise to take advantage of the situation and gain more benefits. Where would you find someone like Alex, who would go to the extent of damaging his own prospects simply in order to make William pay such a trivial price to let him go?

Moreover, the Zanford family's efforts for William this time was not insignificant.

Even Yana, after weighing the pros and cons, didn't think she could be as clean and decisive as Alex.

But for Candice, this matter was of great benefit. At least she didn't have to worry about William suddenly appearing in the short term.

And by the time William came out, she would have already left the country.

"You must be out of your mind." Sieg sat on the sofa playing games. His tone was casual.

"Edward is willing to give you an extra 5% profit, and you're still not satisfied. Now, it's going to be difficult for you to develop in South City in the future."

"South City doesn't just belong to the Zanford family." Alex lifted his eyes without expression.
