My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 511

The whole Aether Corporation affair was very intense, and Candice heard quite a bit from her social circle.

Even when she was reporting work to Darius, he also casually mentioned that Alex's tactics surprised him.

Candice stated calmly, "He's good at keeping things hidden."

Darius added, "Actually, he should have waited a bit longer before making a move. If he had completely brought the Griffiths and Yates over to his side and then acted against Daniel, it wouldn't be as troublesome as it is now."

"Maybe he saw that Daniel had set his sights on you, so he couldn't sit still and impulsively made a move."

Candice ignored his subsequent words and simply said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

Darius, who himself had considerable ambitions, had been working on this overseas project behind the Quimbys’ back.

Any sensible person could tell what Darius wanted.

But Candice, owing him for saving her life before, knew her job was just to do her work well and nothing more.

What was the difference between Darius and Alex at their core?

Alex's actions were all out in the open now, and everyone was talking about his cunning mind and his willingness to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. However, they couldn't have foreseen that he had been planning for this moment for years.

Naturally, Candice was also part of his plan.

No, it should be said that Candice never appeared in his plans from the beginning to the end. She was just someone who happened to be involved—a dispensable bystander.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned her so easily. Now that Candice looked back, she realized Alex had probably planned for this moment years ago.

Perhaps it was when he had left the headquarters, or maybe even earlier.

Anyway, his plans all kept Candice out of the loop.

He watched her stumble around in the game he'd set up like a blind person, and when he realized she might affect other pieces, he promptly kicked her out without a second thought.

Candice stood by the window as she looked out at the overcast sky, feeling relatively calm.

What happened to Alex afterward had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to spend any more energy on him.

It rained a lot in this northern country.

In her free time, Candice stayed at home with Ellis, teaching her to walk.

When Jackson contacted her, it was a rare sunny day, and she was sunbathing in the yard with Ellis.

It had been a long time since she'd heard from Jackson; Yana said he'd been busy with matters in Solaris lately.

He spoke simply, "There have been some new changes regarding Daniel's case. He's looking for lawyers everywhere now; if he loses, he'll definitely be sentenced."

Candice was momentarily stunned. "How did this happen so suddenly?"

"It's not really sudden. Alex wasn't going to let him off the hook anyway."

After Jackson finished speaking, Candice's breath caught in her throat.

Jackson realized he had misspoken and sighed. "I'm really sorry. I've been keeping this from you. Daniel's case was difficult to handle, and Alex approached me privately, asking me not to tell you. He said he'd take care of it. At that time, I was busy with matters in Solaris, so I didn't tell you the truth."

Jackson didn't know how to explain. When Alex said he wanted to handle Daniel's case, he suspected that Alex was trying to cover it up.

But later, when Solaris kept him occupied and he saw that Alex was really investigating the matter, he stopped being suspicious.

Candice uttered a sound of acknowledgment.
