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

Chapter 860:

Cedric was eager for a child, but Daniela slipped on a coat, smiling. “Lillian needs me for something. I’ll be back in thirty minutes.” Cedric could only wait.

Daniela, slightly confused, approached Lillian. “What’s going on? I only have thirty minutes.”

Lillian hesitated for a moment before saying, “Don’t spoil Cedric too much. He’ll become impossible to handle. Once you have a child, he’ll never let you out of his sight!”

Daniela chuckled, unfazed. “What is it?”

Lillian informed her, “A group of people have been staying around the villa.” Daniela looked at Lillian.

Lillian added, “I spotted someone familiar—Mose from Lone Wolf.”

Daniela inquired, “Why are they here? Ah, I get it… They accepted the contract—eight hundred million to abduct Cedric.”

Lillian’s eyes widened. “Who’s throwing around that kind of money?” Kidnapping wasn’t murder. This was about claiming Cedric.

Lillian gestured upstairs. “Does he know?”noveldrama

Daniela didn’t even glance up. “It’s minor. No need to inform him.”

Lillian smirked knowingly. “Someone spent eight hundred million just to snatch Cedric. That’s some serious devotion. Looks like you have competition!”

Daniela remained indifferent. “Not many can afford that kind of money, I’ll find out who.”

A sum like that wouldn’t go unnoticed in the banking system.

Daniela reached for a laptop and started typing.

From the corner of her eye, Daniela noticed someone descending the stairs. Cedric stood on the staircase, gazing at her with feigned sadness. “Your thirty minutes are up.”

Daniela sighed, handing the laptop to Ryan. “You take over the search.”

Lillian folded her arms, mildly irritated by how Daniela indulged Cedric. She remarked pointedly, “Daniela’s busy. Cedric, maybe be a little considerate?”

Cedric’s chest swelled with pride as Daniela ascended the stairs. “Why would—”

Daniela swung open her bedroom door and was instantly enveloped in a tight embrace. A soft chuckle escaped her.

Cedric clung to her, murmuring, “Daniela, you are my greatest love in this entire world.”

He was truly jealous. Triggered by a cryptic text, he spent all night whispering sweet words to her.

Upon rising the next day, Daniela felt her legs wobble.

Opening the door, she was shocked to see Ryan and Lillian standing there, arms folded. “Don’t you two have anything better to do than eavesdrop outside my room?” she asked.

Ryan shook his head. “We’ve been deceived!”

Lillian’s face was grave as she said, “It’s true what they say—the deepest stabs come from the closest knives.” Ryan nodded vigorously.

Confusion clouded Daniela’s face.

She stepped back into her room, with Ryan and Lillian trailing behind.

“We’ve uncovered three things.”

Daniela filled a glass with water, waiting for them to continue.
