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

Chapter 673:

Elyse was certain her question would make Daniela hesitate, expecting some vague or unclear answer.

“I’ve slept with Cedric,” Daniela said.

Daniela’s voice was as soft as a whisper, yet her words hit Elyse and Natalie like a thunderclap.

Their stunned expressions didn’t escape her notice, and she allowed herself a faint smile.

“What? Surprised?”

The difference between suspecting something and having it confirmed with such candidness was undeniable.

Elyse broke the silence with a chuckle and asked, “So, does this mean you’re planning to settle down with Cedric soon?”

Daniela’s response was calm and unwavering.

“No.” She and Cedric had married long ago.

Elyse exhaled in visible relief.

“Since you’re not interested in settling down with Cedric, why not let Nina have him?”

Daniela’s laughter was light, almost dismissive.

“Oh? Nina doesn’t mind that I’ve been involved with Cedric? How generous of her.”

Elyse waved her hand as if brushing off the remark.

“If Nina manages to get the man you’ve discarded, she should count herself lucky.”

The comment drew a slight frown from Daniela, and her tone grew cold, the warmth fading entirely.

“Cedric is a great person. He’s not a man I’ve discarded. Now, if there’s nothing else, I have work to do.noveldrama

You should leave.”

Elyse’s voice softened as she asked, “What about Nina and Cedric?”

Daniela’s answer was clipped and firm.

“I’ve already said, it’s a personal matter. Whether Cedric takes a liking to Nina depends entirely on her. Asking me won’t change anything. Now, please see yourself out.”

Elyse left, her cheerful smile betraying no offense taken. At the doorway, Natalie whispered, “Mom, see? I told you, but you didn’t believe me. Daniela really isn’t interested in Cedric.”

Elyse’s carefully laid plan to use Cedric to unnerve Daniela crumbled. Daniela appeared utterly unbothered, her calm demeanor betraying no possessiveness over Cedric whatsoever.

“Then call off the professional killers sent after Cedric. Redirect their focus to Daniela. Her assets are multiplying rapidly. By the end of the year, they’ll reach their peak. Bring in the hypnotist to hypnotize her, and by New Year’s, have her sign a will leaving everything to me. After that, let her meet the same end as Brylee.”

Natalie gave a curt nod and said, “Understood. I’ll take care of it immediately.”

She started to leave but hesitated after a few steps. Turning back, she asked reluctantly, “What about Cedric? Are we really going to let Nina have him?”

Elyse exhaled slowly and asked, “Do you honestly have feelings for Cedric?”

Natalie nodded.

“I do.”
