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

Chapter 0525

Candice did not tell anyone of her return to Dorrington. Only Darius had arranged people in advance to pick her up and bring her to the hotel.

She looked at the sparkling night scene outside, her mind in turmoil.

Darius had already told her about the current situation. Alex was keeping a close eye on Daniel, but Daniel's side claimed that Alex was not personally involved, and there was no one to verify his claims.

Darius said, "Daniel is very vengeful. Alex probably doesn't want you to be involved, which is why he doesn't want you to come back. But the truth is, as long as you appear in court, everything can be resolved."

Candice saw through his intentions. "Then what was the purpose of you constantly hinting for me to come back?"

"With them messing around like this, who knows how long it will take."

Darius was very frank. "I have a collaboration with Alex, and I don't want to waste time on such trivial matters."

He was straightforward, showing no regard for what he called trivial matters, which actually concerned Candice's safety.

Candice said, "I understand."

Like Darius, there were other people who also did not wish to waste time on such matters.

Helen's face turned black as she fiercely threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. Her eyes were crazier than ever, and her tone was sharp. "Why did you do this? You could have just called

Candice back, but you had to go around in circles like this. Now, Daniel has found a backer!"

In the Sui family villa, Helen's face was ferocious. She had waited for revenge for decades, and it could have been resolved so straightforwardly and joyfully. But Alex, for the sake of a woman, had given Daniel a chance to catch his breath!

Helen screamed, "I don't care what method you use; you must make him get lost for me! I can't stand to see him for the rest of my life!"

"Don't forget, if it weren't for me asking your uncles to help you, you would only be suppressed by that bastard right now. Not to mention being the boss of the Aether branch, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of Aether!"

"You thought he was your dad and showed him mercy? Just look at him! Did he ever allow you or I to live well?!"

"I had just married him, and he started fooling around with that slut, Jovita. Besides a pretty face and the ability to pretend to be weak, what else could that slut do?"

Helen seemed to recall something, and her mood turned sour. She stared at Alex, forcing him to make a promise. "Alex, you promised me that one day, those who humiliated me would all be punished."

When she said the last two words, Helen's voice clearly turned cold, carrying an undeniable hatred.

In Helen's once beautiful and charming eyes, there was now a reservoir of resentment, nowhere near the proud heiress of the Sui family that she used to be.

Alex sat opposite her, his expression carrying his usual coldness and indifference.

Helen's frantic appearance was both unfamiliar and familiar to Alex.

It had been a long time since Alex had seen Helen like this, but in his memory, it seemed to be a common occurrence.

The relationship between Helen and Daniel seemed respectful and harmonious to outsiders, but in reality, once they were back home, they either did not speak at all or argued constantly.

At the most serious times, both sides would use the most vicious words to curse each other, and Alex would not be spared either.

And most of the time, the cause was a woman called Jovita.

Jovita was taboo to Helen, and it was the name Alex heard the most during his childhood.

Helen said that Jovita had seduced Daniel, that Jovita was showing off in front of her, and that Daniel would abandon them sooner or later because of Jovita.

Later on, Jovita had committed suicide by jumping off a building.

With that, oddly enough, Daniel and Helen had a brief period of living together, but Helen would still privately tell him that Jovita was a slut and that Daniel was not genuinely nice to him. Therefore, he had to take over Aether and make Daniel regret it.

Helen did all this, enduring humiliation, all for his sake.

Alex heard these words till the day he left the Elysian family.

Helen's emotions were unstable. When Alex left, he accidentally saw the bandage on her wrist.

Helen was prone to self-harm when her emotions were intense.

In the past, Helen always said that Daniel had turned her into a lunatic.

Alex stood at the door expressionless as he turned back and looked at Helen. He kept his eyes low. "I will take care of what needs to be handled. Don't involve innocent people anymore."

Candice stayed in the hotel for two days before Yana came to find her. "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you returned to Dorrington?"

Candice replied, "Things happened too suddenly. I did not expect to return either."

"Is it because of the Elysian family's family matter?" Yana asked, "The Elysian family is in a mess now. Uncle Daniel and Aunt Helen have completely broken off relations. Ever since Alex sent his father to court, his reputation in the circle is not good. They all say he's a ruthless person."

Candice was silent for a moment before saying, "I didn't ask you about these things."

Yana looked at her and sighed softly. "But you came back for this, right? Otherwise, why didn't you even tell Hanley?"

Candice did not reply.

On the day Candice brought Ellis out to do some shopping, she bumped into Helen at the hotel.

Helen looked older than before, with wrinkles showing on her face. She did not look like the well- maintained wealthy woman she used to be.

Helen also saw Candice. Her gaze paused on Candice, and she was momentarily stunned when she saw Ellis. However, she quickly composed herself and said indifferently, "Shall we go over and talk for a bit?"

"I heard you were abroad. When did you come back?"

Candice replied. "Earlier."

"Does Alex know?"

Candice looked at her.

Helen sneered. "I really don't know what you did to Alex to make him so infatuated with you!"

"He could quarrel with Daniel for you, and now, for you, he refuses to seize the opportunity, almost letting Daniel turn the tables. Candice, it seems my dislike for you at first sight was justified!"

Helen gritted her teeth. When Ellis heard her fierce tone, she was afraid and snuggled into Candice's arms.

Candice calmly looked at Helen and said, "Daniel has done many wicked things. It's only a matter of time before he faces retribution. As for why Alex did this, I don't know, and I'm not grateful either."

"I hope that Daniel will pay the price more than you do, Mrs. Elysian." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

After saying this, Candice left with Ellis. Two days later, Daniel's case went to court again, and Candice waited outside.

When she was summoned to go in, she handed Ellis to Yana and went in with the court staff.

When Daniel, who was originally fierce-looking in the dock, saw her, his expression became even more frightening.

A fiery gaze followed her, and she knew it was from Alex without needing to look. However, she did not look back at him. She was only there to seek justice for herself.
