Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling! - Chapter 617

Chapter 617:

Alexander suspected Cedric was purposefully trying to mock him. He narrowed his eyes.

“You don’t know?”

Alexander thought Cedric was more manipulative than that woman named Nina he had just encountered.

Cedric raised his hands in mock innocence.

“I don’t know, and I am curious.”

Alexander was enraged by Cedric’s response. He shot Cedric a furious glare.

Earlier, he had told Daniela, “You’ve given everything for me. How am I any different from Cedric?” Daniela had replied, “It’s different.”

Unseen by the others, she had mouthed, “Myself.”

“Daniela has always gone above and beyond for me, but she never gave herself to me,” Alexander yelled at Cedric, his frustration boiling over.

“She’d do anything I asked, yet she wouldn’t even let me hold her hand, let alone anything more personal. But you’ve crossed that line with her, haven’t you? So, tell me, Cedric, does it make you feel proud? Does it feel special to have what she kept from me? Well, don’t get too comfortable. People change, Cedric, and mark my words—sooner or later, Daniela will realize I’m the one she’s truly meant to be with.”

Alexander’s words were sharp and icy, each syllable cutting through the air like a blade.

Cedric’s lips curved into a faint, smug smile as he replied, “Oh? Is that what she let you believe?”

Fury radiated from Alexander like heat from a wildfire, his clenched fists trembling.

With a final, venomous glare, he spat, “The future is long—we’ll see who wins in the end!” Turning on his heel, he stormed off, refusing to glance back.

In the office, Lillian’s brows knitted together.

“Daniela, why on earth did you hire Nina as your secretary at Elite Lux? She’s going to be hovering around you constantly.”

It felt like handing Elyse a front-row seat to every move Daniela made.

Daniela’s smile was calm, almost serene.

“To catch the big fish, you need the right patience.”

Lillian nodded, though her frown lingered.

“Nina might look fragile, but her eyes? They’re always darting around, especially when Cedric’s nearby—there’s a predatory gleam you can’t miss.”

Daniela nodded slightly.

“Elyse has been living comfortably off my mother’s shares for years. Her daughters? They’ve grown up spoiled, thinking the world owes them something. Nina might be petty, but her sister Natalie, who’s abroad? She’s the real one to watch.”

Back then, Brylee had poured her heart and soul into supporting Elyse and her family.

And what did she get in return?

A cruel, tragic ending. Katrina never talked about the details, but Daniela had pieced the story together on her own.

“Lately, Katrina’s been through hell—eight car accidents, six other incidents. She’s been breaking down, crying, begging to see you, Daniela. Do you want to talk to her?”

Daniela shook her head firmly.
