Chapter 0328


    The huge office was already empty, and Helen''s voice was so loud that it was difficult for Candice to


    pretend that she didn’t hear it.


    In fact, she had always been more familiar with Helen than a stranger. In the past, she had always


    wanted to have a good rtionship with Helen because of Alex. Later on, she had discovered that


    no matter what she did, Helen would still look down on her. So she had stopped trying so hard to


    please her.


    At most, during the Elysian family dinner and when Helen asked her to help, she would interact with


    her a little. But most of the time, Candice had just treated getting along with Helen as a job. After all,


    after treating it as a job, she could always be more tolerant.


    Seeing that Candice had no reaction at all, Helen''s delicately made-up face was filled with


    contempt. She turned to Nina and said, "When you get married to Alex in the future, you have to


    manage him. Thepany is an important ce. How can just anyone be allowed in?"


    Nina''s eyes followed Helen''s to Candice. She raised her eyebrows, as if watching a good show. "I


    don''t know the rules of Aether, but my mother''spany will not allow fired staff to return." She


    raised her chin slightly, and her scornful attitude was exactly the same as Helen’s. "I heard that you


    have beening to Aether a lot recently due to work reasons?” she said to Candice. “It is indeed


    a good way to pretend to retreat in order to advance."


    There was no emotion in Candice''s eyes. She nced at Nina coldly. "I am responsible for the


    cooperation between Aether and Burning Star. If Miss Burgess and Mrs. Elysian are so dissatisfied,


    they can directly go to Mr. Elysian to cancel the cooperation. As long as the price of breaking the


    contract is met, Burning Star naturally would not mind." Her voice was calm, and she simply sat


    down opposite Helen and Nina. "If Miss Burgess and Mrs. Elysian are really able to make Mr.


    Elysian terminate the contract, Burning Star will also be very grateful to you. After all, the amount for


    breaking the contract will be triple the cost. I would like to thank you two first on behalf of the


    studio."


    Candice spoke calmly. However, Helen''s expression suddenly changed at her words. She red at


    Candice. "What right do you have to make demands on me?"


    "Mrs. Elysian seems to have made a mistake." Candice said softly. "I haven’t made any demands or


    conditions, I just gave you two a suggestion. Since you two don’t want to see me appear in Aether


    so much, then why not terminate the contract——”


    Halfway through Candice''s words, a steady sound of footsteps sounded.


    Then came the man''s low and oppressive voice. "Terminate the contract? Candice, are you treating


    Aether as a fool?" Alex approached, his expression cold. His eyes paused on Candice for a


    moment, then focused on Helen. "What''s the matter?" he asked.


    Seeing his attitude, a hint of displeasure immediately shed on Helen''s face. Considering that Nina


    was still present, she endured the anger in her heart and said, "Nina said she wanted to learn from


    you, So I brought her over. You two will be getting married in the future anyway, getting to know


    each other would be good too."


    Alex looked at her expressionlessly, his deep ck eyes were dark and gloomy, his jawline was


    clearly taut. His dark gray formal jacket made him look a little stern. He looked at Nina and said in a


    deep voice, "Is Ms. Goodman''spany not enough for you to learn from?"


    Nina''s red lips curled up in a slight arc, and she said with a smile. "What can I learn from my family?


    They don''t dare to let me do things. Alex, can you teach me? Don''t worry about my mother. You can


    do whatever that should be done."


    "Nina wants to follow you, so you take her with you. It''ll be good to cultivate some feelings too."


    Helen picked up where Nina left off and did not forget to add another sentence. "Just in case some


    people still have unrealistic expectations."


    Thest words were obviously meant for Candice. Helen had grown up with a silver spoon since


    she was a child, and had developed a snobbish personality. Later, coupled with the incident


    involving Daniel Elysian, she was even more sure that family background was of great importance.


    She looked down on Candice''s social standing from the bottom of her heart.


    "Aether is busy with business. I do not have time to be someone''s teacher." Alex''s expression did


    not change and there was no less iciness in his gaze either.


    "Alex——" Helen''s lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.


    But she was persuaded by Nina who was next to her. "Aunt Helen, it''s normal for Alex to have such


    thoughts. After all, apany like Aether must have a lot of things going on." She looked at Alex. "I


    heard that Aether recruits interns every quarter. I can start as an intern." Although Nina lowered her


    standards, her tone when she spoke did not sound like she wanted to discuss it. Instead, it was


    more like she had made a decision directly and informed Alex.


    There was no emotion in Alex''s dark eyes. After a moment, he said casually, "It''s up to you."


    A slight smile appeared on Nina''s face. "Okay, thank you, Mr. Elysian."


    The calmness in Nina''s tone made Candice unable to help but look at her one more time. Nina


    noticed her gaze and looked back calmly, but she still did not hide the determination to win in her


    eyes.


    Candice lowered her gaze and did not look at Nina again. She came because she had other things


    to do, and she was not very concerned about what Nina was doing in Aether.


    "If you have nothing else to do, then leave." Alex''s toneless voice sounded.

    Candice looked up and met his cold eyes.


    Alex looked at her, his casualness gone, and he became more serious. "If you want to dissolve the


    contract, get Hanley to send the contract himself."


    Candice hesitated, before letting out a breath. "I''m looking for you for other reasons."


    "Speak."


    There was no expression on Alex''s face. Candice was silent for a while. Regardless of whether


    Helen or Nina were still there, she asked directly. "Why did you stop me from suing Sonia?" She


    asked in a straightforward manner, and looked at Alex calmly.


    Candice originally thought that Alex would react somewhat when he heard her question, but he


    remained cold and answered her without any fluctuation in his voice. "Do I still need to help you?"


    Candice''s eyes flickered for a moment. "She leaked Aether''s information. Didn''t Aether suffer


    enough losses?"


    Alex looked at her condescendingly. It was difficult to tell his current mood. He only said, "I didn''t


    mind Aether''s loss, so why would you care?" The corners of his lips moved mockingly, and he


    reminded her calmly. "Candice, you have nothing to do with Aether anymore, you don''t need to


    worry."


    After he said this, Candice felt suffocated. She took a moment to master her feelings before


    whispering, "Yes, I have nothing to do with Aether, but Sonia indirectly killed my grandfather. What


    does this have to do with you, that you would want to protect her?" Candice''s words were a little


    low, as if she was suppressing some emotion, but every word was spoken very clearly. She looked


    at Alex and asked word by word. "Alex, what is so good about Sonia that makes you so indifferent


    to right from wrong?"
