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

Chapter 1148:

The man who used to call the shots now looked like he’d been knocked to the bottom of the ladder.

She leaned down, voice gentle. “Are you doing okay with all of this?”

Caiden clicked his tongue. “You’re basically in the same boat as me now.”

Cedric didn’t care much about their comments. He kept his eyes on Daniela, looking for something in her expression.

“I still have a salary, so I won’t be poor. Daniela, could you say something?”

She stared at him, silent.

She had no intention of helping him manage his company. She understood he needed to let go of everything for survival.

But deep down, she resented how easily he gave up ten years of his life like it meant nothing.noveldrama

Cedric was well aware of the situation.

He pulled his neck back just a little. “I’ll speak to them about it later,” he said, his mind working on a way to shorten the ten-year term, maybe with a bet. “Please don’t be mad, alright?”

Both Joyce and Caiden shifted their gaze toward Daniela.

Daniela’s face showed no emotion, leaving it unclear whether she was angry or not.

Cedric wanted to elaborate, but the presence of Joyce and Caiden, coupled with the need to rush to the airport to pick up Nikolas, left no room for further discussion. “I’ll fill you in tonight after I return. I must head to work now.”

Approaching the entrance, Cedric heard Caiden click his tongue and tell Daniela, “Cedric’s lost all of his money in gambling, hasn’t he? Daniela, I’m saying this for your own good—Cedric’s broke now. You’ve lost your memories, right? It’s best you leave him while you have the chance.”

Joyce smiled, picturing Cedric’s striking features. “Daniela, just break it off with him. I’ll gladly take him in!”

Cedric was as good-looking as a star. If Daniela didn’t want him anymore, Joyce was more than happy to take her place.

At the door, Cedric’s expression darkened as he turned and departed for his car.

Once Cedric had left, Caiden whispered to Daniela, “If you do end up divorcing him, don’t let him off easy. Isn’t he the son of Hamilton McCoy? Hamilton doesn’t even know Cedric is his son. Reaching out to Hamilton could lead to a substantial payoff. And if Hamilton takes Cedric in, you won’t even need to divorce him. He’s the heir to the world’s wealthiest man—you’d hit the jackpot.”

The moment he finished speaking, Daniela gave him a cold, piercing stare.

Taken aback, Caiden asked, “What’s the problem?”

Daniela’s voice was indifferent as she said, “I’ve told you before—this stays secret. Never mention it again. If I hear you bring it up, I will make you regret it.”

Caiden recoiled, muttering, “Cedric isn’t even here. Why so secretive?”

Daniela fixed a cold stare on Caiden.

Lips tightening, Caiden said, “Alright, alright, I’ll pretend I never knew. But you’re missing a golden opportunity here. Did you catch what Cedric said earlier? He’s off—”

to pick up Nikolas from the airport. Cedric might not fight for Hamilton’s fortune, but Hamilton’s sons might not see it that way.”
