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

Chapter 31:

And now, if Daniela truly was that CEO, had she abandoned her role at Elite Lux for the sake of love? More intriguingly, who was the person who had captured her heart?

Standing apart, Alexander observed Daniela, his mind clouded by a sense of bewildering estrangement. For the first time, he realized that perhaps he had never truly known her.

Unfazed by Alexander’s intense gaze, Daniela offered a slight, enigmatic smile and replied, “It seems you’ve forgotten.

You’ve always been too absorbed in your own world to give me a moment to explain, haven’t you?”noveldrama

Originally, Daniela had planned to reveal all her secrets to Alexander before their upcoming wedding. However, Alexander had told her that he wasn’t interested in her; all he wanted was for her to behave herself after their marriage. In simpler terms, he held no real expectations of her.

To the public, Alexander’s father had even stated that the marriage was simply a long-standing commitment between the two families.

Yet, beneath this public facade was a more strategic calculation. The Bennett family had consented to the union solely because of the significant influence held by the Harper family.

Daniela, as Caiden’s only biological daughter, stood to inherit a large portion of the Harper family fortune, despite Caiden having remarried and having a stepdaughter. Given these prospects, the Bennett family welcomed her into their fold.

But once Daniela understood the true motivations behind their acceptance, her desire to reveal her true self to Alexander began to fade.

Alexander’s expression darkened dramatically, his jaw tightening as frustration boiled within him. Beneath it all was a palpable fury, fueled by the bitter realization that he had been deceived.

With a steely glare at Joyce, he declared in a frosty tone, “We’re leaving.”

Remaining would only tarnish their families’ honor further. Just as they neared the exit, Lillian’s commanding voice stopped them in their tracks.

“Hold on a moment!”

Reluctantly, Alexander paused, his body tense as Lillian strode forward, a golf club in hand.

“Here, take your $8,000 golf club. I doubt even our caddies would bother with such an inferior piece.”

Her mocking words hit their mark, visibly embarrassing Joshua, who turned a deep shade of red. He hurriedly pressed the elevator button and ushered Alexander and Joyce out.

With that, Daniela made her triumphant return to Olisvine. As the CEO of Elite Lux, she now presided majestically over Olisvine’s most famous landmark.

Recovering from her initial shock, Joyce was already plotting her next move. She leaned toward Caiden, her voice dripping with sugary charm.

“Dad, Daniela’s now the CEO of Elite Lux and she owns Olisvine’s top landmark building. Do you think you could convince her to spare one floor for me?”

Caiden paused, uncertainty clouding his expression. It wasn’t fear of Daniela’s defiance—she wouldn’t dare cross him. Rather, his reluctance stemmed from a recent public declaration he had made, cutting all ties with her. Seeking her out now, after such a proclamation, would surely raise eyebrows.

What would everyone say about this? Surely, they would label him as a conceited, self-centered man desperate to maintain his grip on wealth and status. His pristine reputation meant everything to him; the idea of it becoming fodder for idle gossip was utterly unbearable.

Throughout his life, Caiden had lingered in the shadow of Daniela’s influential mother. Now, having finally liberated himself and taken command of his destiny, he was determined to steer clear of any further familial entanglements.
