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

Chapter 1135:

She didn’t even flinch. Her eyes stayed on the screen.

Cedric crouched beside her. “I’m not going. The only door I’ll knock on is yours.”

Daniela tossed a fruit knife from the drawer onto the table. “Try it, and I promise you’ll regret it.”

Cedric didn’t say a word.

Elite Lux carried on with its parade of glamor.

Every day, it hosted another show, luring crowds from every corner of the globe.

All day, Caiden checked people’s hands. At night, he attended banquets and did the same thing.

His excitement burned out fast. Weariness took its place.

“Daniela, I need a break. I’m exhausted.”

Daniela remained indifferent. “Not until you find the right person.”

He rubbed his temples. “What if I got it wrong? Maybe I made a mistake back then. It’s been two weeks and no one matches the details.”

The moment those words left his mouth, Daniela looked up. Her eyes locked onto him, cold as ice. “Say that again? Did you just say you were mistaken?”

Something dark flashed in her stare. Caiden felt his chest tighten.

“Are you sure you were mistaken?” she asked.

His throat went dry. “Forget I said anything. I’ll keep looking!”

Jack was stretched out on the couch, flipping through TV channels. A man popped up on screen.

Jack jabbed his finger toward the TV. “Daddy!”

Joyce had asked Jack to call Cedric his daddy. Cedric had corrected him plenty of times, but the kid wouldn’t budge.

Daniela glanced up, her brows drawing together. Then she froze. The man on screen was giving an interview. He belonged to a powerful family in Oiscoll, and he looked uncannily like Cedric.

Caiden had been heading out. The moment he caught wind of the broadcast, he turned back. “Wait. Cedric? On TV?”

And then, Caiden stood frozen.

Daniela assumed the resemblance had startled him too.

But to her surprise, he said, “Look at his hand!”

The McCoy family, the aristocracy of Oiscoll tracing back to ancient royal roots, was considered the most prestigious in the world. Their wealth was immense, comparable to national treasuries, embodying the essence of Oiscoll itself.

Their current head was Hamilton McCoy, who had five sons, each renowned for their exceptional talents.

Caiden was shocked. “Daniela! Can you believe this? The burn mark is identical to the one I’ve seen before. And this man looks so much like Cedric!”

Daniela remained quiet for a considerable time.

Finally, she started her laptop and issued a command for further investigation to the intelligence department.

Caiden stood frozen, lost in thought. After a long silence, he finally asked, “Daniela, I remember Cedric was an orphan, wasn’t he? Good heavens! Could he really be linked to Oiscoll’s aristocracy?”
