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

Chapter 988:

Ensley pressed her lips together. It was literally just a dollar. The phone call itself cost more than that measly transfer, but she wouldn’t dare voice that thought. Elyse had a razor-sharp tongue.

“I did transfer it. I have a screenshot to prove it. Take a look.”

Elyse’s eyes landed on the screenshot—just one dollar. “One dollar? Is this some kind of joke? Do you think I need a single dollar? I’m talking about my land compensation—the millions I’m owed!” Ensley forwarded the land sale contract.

As Elyse stormed towards Daniela’s office, she passed the finance department, where laughter rang out.

“Can you believe Elyse? Asking me for millions in land compensation? I was completely speechless!”

“Exactly! Ms. Harper gifted that land straight to Phillips Group for their amusement park. And this old hag thinks she can cash in on it? It’s downright hilarious!”

“Elyse is greed personified. She played these same tricks on her own sister, and now she’s trying to pull the same stunt on Ms. Harper. Honestly, having a relative like that is just bad luck for Ms. Harper!”

“That old hag has no shame. Isn’t Nina a celebrity now? She doesn’t even look after her own mother, yet here Elyse is, leeching off Ms. Harper instead! You should’ve heard her on the phone earlier—acting all high and mighty. If you didn’t know better, you’d think she was the one in charge of the company!”

Elyse stood frozen at the finance office doorway, her face twisting with rage.

The conversation inside carried on. “Didn’t she once tell her own daughter to sell her body? If things are so bad, she can just sell herself now.”

The moment those words landed, Elyse stormed in and slapped the speaker across the face.

Just as Daniela wrapped up her meeting, she walked in to find Elyse standing there, face dark with fury. She arched a brow.

“What’s the matter, Aunt?” Daniela’s voice was smooth, unreadable. When it came to putting on an act, she was leagues ahead of Elyse.

“You sold the villa for just a single dollar?”

“Yeah. Phillips Group is setting up an amusement park. I didn’t feel like charging them for it.”

Elyse bristled. “Why? Sure, you’re married now, but who’s to say that’ll last? I get it, you’re in love, but what if things change? Your mother handpicked the villa as a gift for me, and you practically gave it away for free! I don’t accept this!”noveldrama

Lillian, overhearing, rolled her eyes. “We paid full price for that place back then. You don’t agree? Who cares? What right do you even have to object?”

Elyse’s frustration spiked. “I’m Daniela’s aunt! If she’s making reckless decisions, how can I not be concerned? Daniela, you’re married now, but you still have to protect your assets! Small sums are one thing, but a villa that size? How could you just give it away?”

“Are you even thinking about your future?” Elyse asked, her voice sharp.

Daniela let out a soft chuckle. “Did my mother think about her future when she gifted you that villa?”

Elyse stiffened. “Let’s not dwell on the past. I’m just trying to remind you to be more careful with your finances.”

Daniela nodded. “Understood. Anything else?”

Elyse was caught off guard by the question.

Anything else? What else was left for her?

The villa was gone. What else could she possibly ask for?
