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

Chapter 0350

Her gaze was fixed on Sawyer.

However, Sawyer didn't answer. He remembered the moment in the elevator when Darius said he wanted to meet Candice, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He subconsciously looked at Alex beside him. "Mr. Elysian..." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Alex's gaze flickered for a moment, then he looked at Candice deeply and said without any emotions, "Which person do you want to meet? Darius?"

Sawyer coughed, and it was only then that Candice realized her words were too direct.

After a pause, she added, "He looks a lot like someone I know."

Alex's eyelids drooped, and he looked at her with a hint of a smile. "A very cliché reason."

Candice had something on her mind but didn't want to waste words with Alex here. She thought for a moment and decided it would be more appropriate to ask Sawyer privately on WhatsApp later.

She lowered her head and told Sawyer that she was going upstairs.

The moment she turned around, she heard Alex's voice, "Don't provoke that person."

Candice paused and turned to look at Alex.

His expression was calm, but his eyes were like an endless black sea, deep and profound.

Candice's expression remained unchanged, and she calmly said, "You're overthinking. I'm not so bored to have that kind of thing on my mind all the time."

"No matter what it is, Darius is not someone you can provoke." Alex heard Candice's reply and seemed somewhat displeased.

He pressed down on his temples and lowered his voice. His tone was unusually serious.

People were coming and going in the hotel lobby, and the crystal chandelier above Candice's head shone brilliantly, reflecting down from above her.

She looked at Alex with an expressionless face and reminded him, "Even if I want to provoke him, what does it have to do with you?"

Alex's brow slightly furrowed, and he was about to speak but was cut off by Sawyer.

He said, "Candice, Mr. Elysian is just giving you a friendly reminder. Darius is cunning and ruthless. Having any relationship with him might not be a good thing."

"Is that so?" Candice's expression didn't change, and she asked softly.

Seeing her indifferent appearance, a touch of deep and cold chill flashed in Alex's eyes. He said in a cold voice, "If you don't believe it, you can try."

"I will, of course." Candice finished speaking, lowered her eyelashes, and blocked her inner thoughts.

There were too many coincidences about Darius.

Moreover, he really looked a lot like Henry.

Henry was Candice's biological father.

However, she couldn't tell Alex these things. So, she entered the elevator directly.

After Candice entered the elevator, Alex's expression almost immediately turned cold. He stared coldly in the direction of the elevator.

Sawyer cleared his throat, "I'll remind Candice more—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Alex.

He glanced over coldly, "Remind what?"

"Darius gives people a very dangerous feeling. I always feel that having too much contact with him is not a good thing."

Sawyer whispered with a frown.

In fact, when Darius came to discuss business with Alex today, the two sides didn't have a pleasant conversation either. Both were smart people in the business world, testing each other, but the final result was not so satisfactory.

Darius now held 49 percent of the shares of the Quinton family, almost turning the tables and gaining significant influence in the Quinton family's company.

Although the methods used were a bit ruthless, who would care about that?

Sawyer had been with Alex for a considerable amount of time, and he could sense Alex's vigilance toward Darius. Combined with Darius's interest in Candice in the elevator, Sawyer felt somewhat uneasy.

He originally wanted to ask Alex more about Darius, but Alex had already left the hotel in silence, leaving him behind.

As for the fact that Darius and Candice had crossed paths as well as Darius's interest in Candice, Sawyer did not tell Alex.

The moment Candice returned to her room, she called Jackson.

Jackson answered the call a bit slowly, "Candice, what's up?"

Candice hesitated for a moment as she looked at the scenery outside the window, then asked, "Are you busy?"

"Well, I just finished a meeting. I heard from Hanley that you went to Solaris? The weather there is colder than here; don't catch a cold."

Candice looked at the landscape outside and hesitated for a moment before asking Jackson, "I remember you asked me before if I knew anyone in Solaris."

Jackson fell silent, waiting for a while before asking, "I might have been mistaken before."

"Is it Darius?"

Candice straightforwardly questioned him. Although she already had that guess in her heart, she still wanted to confirm it.

As expected, Jackson remained silent for a long time before sighing, "How did you encounter him?"

Jackson continued, "Candice, Darius is not a good person. He—"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "He is intelligent and good at disguising himself, but no matter who it is, he can be quite ruthless.

"You’d better not have too much contact with him; he's a dangerous person."

Jackson's advice was solemn and not like a joke.

Having obtained the answer she wanted, Candice responded with a simple "I know. I will be careful."

Jackson went to a quiet place, and worry was evident in his eyes.

"Since you are in Solaris now, can you do me a favor? Help me meet someone."

After ending the call with Jackson, Candice's face became more serious.

If Darius was really Henry's son—

Yvonne had once caused a scene at the entrance of Aether Corporation and mentioned that Henry had left because he already had an illegitimate child outside.

If this illegitimate child was Darius...

Candice took a deep breath, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

Her feelings for Henry were hard to explain. She couldn't deny that during her childhood, Henry had always been the perfect father figure in her heart. He pampered her like a princess, fulfilling all her requests.

Even when he divorced Yvonne, Candice still believed that her father loved her but was facing some inexplicable difficulties.

However, now that she saw Darius, a man who shared some resemblance with Henry...

Candice looked somewhat like Yvonne but also had some resemblance to Henry. Both Henry and Yvonne were outstanding-looking individuals.

After contemplating the encounter with Darius throughout the day, the day of the summit's commencement arrived.

She prepared her materials early in the morning and headed out. Attending this type of artistic forum with a discussion nature for the first time made her feel a bit nervous.

Burning Star Studio's main focus was in Dorrington, not Solaris. Additionally, it was her first time here, so after the summit began, she chose to sit in a corner, waiting for others to speak.

Half an hour into the summit, according to tradition, it was time for the new investors to speak each year.

As Candice kept her head down flipping through her documents, she heard applause and looked up to see a tall figure entering from the conference room door.
