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

Chapter 768:

Daniela waved enthusiastically, calling out, “Cedric!”

The figure hesitated for a moment in the dim light before crouching and entering the car.

Daniela stood frozen, her mind swirling in confusion as she stared in the direction of the car for a long time.

“What’s got your attention, Daniela?” Lillian poked her head out to ask.

Daniela kept her gaze on the car as it continued to distance itself. “Nothing,” she replied as she climbed into her own car. “It must have been an illusion.”

Inside the car, Daniela couldn’t shake the thoughts of what had just happened.

Elyse was practically glowing with excitement. “Daniela, you’re so generous! You just bought that massive piece of land like it was nothing. Are you seriously planning to build me a retirement home there?”

Elyse was sitting in the front, with Daniela in the back seat.

Elyse twisted her neck slightly to look back at Daniela, still beaming. When Daniela said, “I’m glad you’re happy with it, Aunt Elyse,” her smile only widened, and she even hummed joyfully in the car.

Daniela stayed silent throughout the entire ride.

The car pulled up to Elyse’s lavish mansion. Elyse exited the vehicle, bending slightly and flashing a smile at Daniela. “Take care on your way back, Daniela.” Her voice oozed with exaggerated flattery.

Daniela studied Elyse’s overly ingratiating expression under the streetlights and reminded her coolly, “I’ve kept my promise to provide for your retirement, Aunt Elyse. I hope you’ll keep yours as well. If the Harper family comes asking for handouts every month, I won’t be able to keep up.”

At Daniela’s words, Elyse waved her hand quickly. “Of course, Daniela. You’re the best to me. I won’t tell anyone about this.”

Daniela gave a subtle glance towards Natalie, who was eavesdropping from a distance, nodded slightly, and then told the driver, “Drive.” Even as the car disappeared into the distance, Elyse continued waving at the dissipating exhaust fumes.

She was so overcome with joy that she couldn’t help but dance, but when she turned around, she was startled to find Natalie standing quietly behind her.

“When did you sneak up behind me, Natalie?” Elyse gasped, surprised.noveldrama

Natalie narrowed her eyes, studying her closely. “What’s the matter? Do you have secrets you’re hiding from me?”

Elyse toyed with her hair nervously. “You’re imagining things, my dear. What could I possibly be hiding? I’m exhausted tonight, so I’m heading to bed. Good night.”

Natalie trailed Elyse into the house, her eyes focused intently on her profile. “Mom, remember you once said you wanted to have Daniela killed? I’ve already reached out to Cealmaur. If we pay them enough, they’ll take care of it immediately.”

Cealmaur, the world’s largest mercenary group, was infamous for its assassination services. They charged the highest fees but also boasted an unblemished record of success.

Once they took on a mission, the target never lived more than 24 hours. Elyse was momentarily lost in thought. “Really? How much would it cost?” she asked, sipping her water while mentally calculating the details.

If Daniela were to die, all her wealth would go to Cedric. Elyse thought it would be wiser to have Daniela fulfill her promises first, ensuring her own future was secure.
