My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 504

The news of Candice giving birth to a daughter couldn't remain hidden forever. Even if Alex kept silent, others who knew would eventually speak up. It was only a matter of time before it reached Daniel.

Alex contemplated for a moment. Sawyer reminded him, saying, "Mr. Elysian, Mr. Sui will be visiting you shortly."

The internal conflict within the company was escalating, with the Sui family clearly supporting Alex.

Employees discussed how they had witnessed sibling rivalry before, but this was the first time they had seen a fierce struggle between father and son, akin to a life-and-death battle.

However, Alex's situation seemed more dire than mere sibling rivalry.

Although not widely known, the fact that Oscar was Daniel's illegitimate son made the situation even more tragic. The idea of a father and his illegitimate son conspiring against his legitimate son was heartbreaking.

Sawyer had observed it firsthand.

If it hadn't been for Alex's years of effort in building his own network, he would have been completely overwhelmed by Daniel and Oscar's ruthless tactics. To them, it didn't seem like a family dispute but more like dealing with an enemy.

Candice received a WhatsApp message at night from "Two", someone she hadn't heard from in a long time. It contained just one sentence — Stay safe.

She glanced at it and then deleted the conversation without replying.

Recently, Ellis had been curious about everything. Just yesterday afternoon, she was excited to see children flying kites outside. So, Candice and Hanley decided to take her out to fly a kite early in the morning.

Near the villa complex, there was a large lawn. Hanley bought a small carp-shaped kite, and Candice followed with the baby by her side.

Yana had the day off and decided to join them. She showed up in sportswear, saying, "Cupcake, I'm amazing at flying kites. I promise to make the little carp fly high."

Although the baby didn't understand, she clapped, greatly amusing Yana.

With spring nearing its end, there weren't many people flying kites.

Ellis sat in the stroller, applauding as she watched the kite soar higher and higher in Yana's hands.

Hanley came closer and asked, "Why not give it a try?"

Candice shook her head and replied, "Mulberry is still here."

"You think I'd sneak her away?" he teased. "Actually, I'm taking you out today to help you unwind."

Since meeting with Daniel yesterday, Candice had been feeling down.

They all knew how much Daniel had affected Candice.

The night before, Candice hadn't slept well; her mind was filled with jumbled thoughts. She knew she couldn't stay so tense; she needed to relax, or she'd exhaust herself before Daniel even made a move.

However, kite flying turned out to be quite taxing. After a while, both she and Yana felt sore.

Yana said, "Hang on, I'm going to grab the camera. This kite took so much effort to fly this high."

Candice was handling the kite alone when a warm hand covered the back of hers. Hanley smoothly took over the kite line and said, "Let me."

She glanced up slightly.

Hanley was gazing up at the kite in the sky. Even from that angle, he looked handsome.

With a camera in hand, Yana approached from behind. She sneakily snapped a photo and inwardly remarked on how good-looking people really did have an advantage.

Then, she went over to Ellis and said cheerfully, "Stay still, you two. I'll take a photo of the three of you. One, two, three, look here!"

Their laughter and playful banter could be heard from a Maybach parked outside.
