Chapter 0197

Candice glanced down at her phone, and her expression froze slightly.

It was a transfer notification with a substantial amount of money, from the bank account Aether usually paid her salary from.

A call from Tamia came in, and Candice stepped aside to answer it.

“Have you received the money? It’s your salary for this month, the bonuses from the previous projects that haven’t been settled, and some compensation for the non–competition agreement. Check the amount, and if there’s any issue, let me know. I’m with the finance department right

now.”

Candice asked. “Why is there so much money?”

She did have some outstanding bonuses from a few projects, but it should not add up to this

much.

Tamia explained in a peculiar tone. “There’s also compensation for your termination.”

They found it strange too. Candice’s resignation procedures were about to be completed in a few days, but suddenly, Mr. Elysian declared her dismissal, and the procedures needed to follow the standard protocol.

Tamia and the others knew Mr. Elysian had originally said, “Aether cannot allow a leech to cling onto it“, and now they felt that something was off.

The matter could have been resolved in a few more days, but Mr. Elysian chose to dismiss her suddenly, meaning Candice would be entitled to additional compensation.

It almost seemed like Mr. Elysian was intentionally giving her the extra money.

Tamia would not explicitly tell Candice these thoughts, however. Especially when it involved Mr. Elysian.

Hearing Tamia mention the dismissal, Candice fell into silence.

It had still come to this.

Being thrown out like an unwanted dog.

“Candice, are there any issues? If there are, I can help you resolve it now,” Tamia’s voice came through.

Candice slowly came back to her senses. “There’s no problem.”

“Do you have any personal belongings left in the company? I can have Kayla pack them for you,” Tamia said kindly. “When I went to see Mr. Elysian today, I overheard Sonia and Julle chatting. It might be difficult for you to enter Aether again in the future.”

Candice never thought that Alex would take action so quickly. She could not describe how she felt and could only acknowledge that she heard Tamla.

Tamin sighed and knew that Candice was definitely feeling bad. She decided not to say anything
