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

Chapter 1134:

Once upon a time, she had inherited the Sinclair family fortune, but Alexander had ripped it all away from right under her nose.

By the time she clawed her way out of that basement, the world had flipped. Alexander had bled the Sinclair family dry and crowned himself the commerce association’s leader.

Meanwhile, she had been cast out, forced to seek refuge in Daniela’s villa.

It wasn’t really Daniela she loathed. No—her true hatred burned for Alexander.

Alexander had taken every scrap of success she had bled for.

There were only two reasons she still drew breath—her child, and the vengeance she owed herself.

And she would be the one to end Alexander with her own hands.

Caiden walked through the front door with Joyce trailing behind him. Daniela was already in the living room, eyes locked on the computer screen.

The air felt thick. Neither Caiden nor Joyce spoke.

Just as they were about to go back to their rooms, Daniela spoke in a clipped voice. “I’ve lined up evening events for you two for the next month. That’s your window to find the person.”

Caiden gave a quick nod, almost too eager.

Being Daniela’s father came with perks. At every banquet, he held the spotlight.

People lined up with fake smiles, each one more eager than the last.

He had forgotten how good it felt to be admired again. Back then, it was Brylee who pulled him into that kind of life.

Now, it was Daniela.

That kind of praise was like honey to him. He couldn’t turn away.

Your next story begins at . com

Daniela looked up from her screen and stared at him. “You’d better find the person soon. If you mess up, I won’t let it slide.”

Caiden’s grin vanished.

Cedric stepped out from the kitchen, carrying a plate of fruit for Daniela.

Joyce’s face lit up. “Cedric? What are you doing here?”

Time hadn’t dimmed his charm. Even with that limp, he looked just as good.

She strutted over and smiled. “Cedric, I never stopped liking you.” Her lips puckered as she leaned close.

He froze, too stunned to move.

Before he could say a word, Daniela flung a book across the room.noveldrama

Joyce caught it without thinking.

“Not under my roof,” Daniela said, her tone cold.

Joyce frowned. “Why not? You don’t even want him. Can’t I? He’s wasted years waiting for you. What’s the point?”

Daniela didn’t respond.

Just before disappearing into her room, Joyce tossed a look over her shoulder. “Cedric, my door’s open tonight. Come if you want.”

He pulled back, throwing a nervous glance Daniela’s way.
