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

Chapter 955:

And with that, the carefully curated image Cedric had built over the years came crashing down in an instant.

The internet erupted in outrage. “Daniela, leave him! Dump the scumbag!”

The shocking turn of events left the PR manager and the entire tech department reeling.

They glanced at the Cedric standing before them, then back at the “Cedric” in the press conference footage. Indistinguishable!

But how?

If the man at the press conference was truly Cedric, then who was the person standing here?

The room buzzed with silent confusion, a collective disbelief hanging in the air.

Cedric let out a quiet sigh, his gaze flickering to the press conference footage before he tenderly pulled a blanket over his sleeping wife. The PR manager, barely containing his shock, whispered hoarsely, “Holy hell! Mr. Phillips is actually innocent!”

The tech staff groaned internally. “We’re done for! I think I went too far with Mr. Phillips earlier. I’ve been calling him a scumbag in my head all this time! How do I even face him now?”noveldrama

The PR manager hesitated, rubbing his temples. “I’d love to know that too. Also, it’s been over thirty minutes. Should we wake Daniela up? The internet is practically on fire. If we don’t act soon, we’re going under. What’s the plan?”

The tech staff responded, “Forget it. Let her sleep. With the way the public is raging, unless Mr. Phillips and the fake one magically appear side by side, the only way to calm them down is if Mr. Phillips takes his own life!”

They exchanged weary looks and let out a collective sigh.

Lately, exhaustion had been Daniela’s constant companion. When she finally opened her eyes, she found everyone else had dozed off.

She checked the time, her brows knitting together.

She nudged Cedric awake. “I told you to wake me in thirty minutes! What happened?”

Cedric gestured towards his phone. “No point. You would’ve just exhausted yourself for nothing. I’ll head to the office later and figure things out.”

In crises like this, the only way to stabilize the company was to follow through with what had already been announced—his resignation. Stepping down as CEO of Phillips Group and weathering the storm was the only logical course of action.

It was the standard move the executives made when facing major scandals.

The tech department, now awake, caught Cedric’s words, and their faces instantly fell.

Cedric, on the other hand, looked completely unbothered.

Daniela studied his easygoing expression and let out a soft chuckle. “Aren’t you worried? You’ve married a difficult woman, and now you’re walking away from the empire you built. Any regrets?”

Cedric pulled her into a warm embrace, laughter rumbling in his chest. “Not a single regret. You’re worth everything.”

The Phillips Group staff collectively shut their eyes in exasperation.

Of all the times, now?

These two were acting as if this wasn’t a full-blown crisis.

After freshening up, Daniela invited everyone to sit down for breakfast. Once it was over, she pulled her hair into a sleek high ponytail and looked at the team. “Alright, it’s time to strike back! The harder we’re hit, the higher we’ll bounce. I need everyone on board for the rest of the day.”
