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

Chapter 496:

Katrina’s eyes flicked to Daniela.

The scene mirrored what had happened with Brylee all those years ago.

A sense of relief washed over Katrina as she transferred the funds to Johan.

Once the transaction was complete, Johan checked the confirmation and leaned in close to Daniela, whispering the final command in her ear.

“In an hour, you’ll be jumping from this building.” With those words, Johan pulled his cap lower over his eyes and turned to leave the rooftop.

Just before exiting, Johan paused and cast one last glance at Daniela.

For a fleeting moment, unease washed over him, as if Daniela could see through every layer of his plan. Despite the nagging feeling, everything had gone according to plan that day.

Pushing the unease aside, Johan shook off the nagging feeling.

He adjusted his cap one final time before slipping away from the house.

Alone on the rooftop, Katrina remained, perfectly at ease. She had done this before.

An entire hour stretched ahead, plenty of time for everything to unfold.

Ryan and Lillian had gone out for dinner, and it would be at least three hours before they returned.

Cedric was stuck at an international conference, followed by a banquet, and wouldn’t return until late that night. In one hour, Daniela would vanish from existence, just like her mother.

Everything Daniela had worked for would fall into her hands.

A triumphant smile tugged at Katrina’s lips.

Gazing at Daniela’s face, so eerily reminiscent of Brylee’s, Katrina’s sense of victory swelled.

“Talent doesn’t save you, does it? You and your mother are still nothing more than pawns in my hands. If you two hadn’t been so skilled at making money, I wouldn’t have ever bothered with you. But don’t worry, Daniela. I’ll take over Elite Lux for you. All of it will be Joyce’s.

You and your mother were both so short-sighted, paving the way for my comfort all along.”

Caught up in her glee, Katrina almost forgot the frustration she felt over Joyce’s divorce.

Money was all Joyce needed to have any man she desired. In contrast, Alexander was a mere shadow of the wealth Joyce truly deserved.noveldrama

The Bennett family would soon regret their decisions.

The scandal involving Joyce caused Alexander to lose several key business deals. His divorce also drained a significant portion of his company’s funds. Overwhelmed by these setbacks, he walked around the house in silence, filled with frustration.

Initially, his plan had been to secure some major contracts, then confess his feelings to Daniela. However, with his finances depleting, he felt he could no longer delay.

Alexander remembered Daniela’s distant manner in the living room, which sparked an unexplainable anxiety within him. He worried she might not wait for him or possibly fall for someone else. He longed to ask her, “Can you wait for me? I’ll treat you well. I’ll give you everything.”

Pacing nervously in the living room, Alexander was consumed by his thoughts. Just as Richard was about to speak, Alexander abruptly took the keys from the table and left without saying a word.

Richard was aware that Alexander was on his way to see Daniela. He actually hoped that Alexander and Daniela would come back together. If not, the investment he made in the robotics company would be locked up for a decade, a period during which he might not even be alive to reap the benefits.
