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

Chapter 1169:

Nikolas let out a sigh of relief. “Did you bring bodyguards? Is Ghost with you?”

Hamilton replied impatiently, “No. Anything else?”

Nikolas answered awkwardly, “That’s all.”

After ending the call, Hamilton closed his eyes and muttered under his breath, “Idiot! With that kind of intelligence, how can he possibly lead the McCoy family?”

Meanwhile, Nikolas felt slightly relieved. He walked into the house and glanced at Cedric.

Cedric sat beside Daniela, watching TV.

Nikolas rolled his eyes in irritation. He couldn’t stand Cedric’s pathetic demeanor, thinking he cared too much about her.

He scoffed loudly and retreated to his room.

Daniela glanced over, and Cedric asked, “What’s wrong?”

Daniela replied, “With such an impatient fool as the heir, no wonder Hamilton is aging so quickly.”

Far away in Hanford, Hamilton sneezed unexpectedly.

Back in his room, Nikolas received a message from Richard. “Mr. McCoy, can you bring Daniela to Room 508 at the Luxurious Hotel tonight?” Nikolas looked down at his phone. “Just wait. What’s the hurry?” Cedric was always by Daniela’s side. How could he possibly bring Daniela to Alexander?

Ghost only needed five days to deal with Cedric. Whether Daniela lived or died didn’t matter to him, and there was no need to cooperate with the Bennett family anymore. He had no reason to provoke Daniela just for their sake.

Alexander had just finished tidying himself when a message from Hamilton buzzed in. Puzzled, he dialed Hamilton immediately, his voice tight with urgency. “Mr. McCoy, didn’t you promise you’d bring Daniela? Everything’s set here. You can’t back out now.”

Recently, Nikolas had endured one humiliation after another, thanks to Daniela and Cedric. Now, with Alexander questioning him, his patience snapped. “Alexander, who the hell do you think you are? I’ll work with you when I feel like it, not a second sooner. Can’t you manage a woman on your own? It’s pathetic, always relying on someone else.”

Alexander, no stranger to power as a long-time business mogul, had a temper to match. His face darkened as Nikolas’ words hit him like a slap. “Mr. McCoy, that’s not fair. Aren’t you also trying to get rid of Cedric? We’re supposed to be on the same side.”

Nikolas rolled his eyes. “Alexander, am I too nice to you? You want to work with me, but do you even know your place? I’ve already figured out that you’re not the one who helped Daniela with her depression. You’re a fraud! A liar! If you hadn’t made Daniela believe you were her savior, would she have chased you for seven years? Alexander, you’re shameless! I can’t stand someone like you!”

Without a second thought, Nikolas ended the call, his finger pressing the button with finality. Alexander spat out a curse, anger boiling over.

A sense of unease gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the question of why Nikolas had come to Olisvine. All he could feel was the growing distance between him and Daniela with every passing second.

Anxiety clawed at him, consuming his every thought.

Clutching the Elite Lux badge Nikolas had handed him, Alexander made his way upstairs with determination. Lately, Daniela kept Cedric close by. When she saw Alexander appear, a flicker of surprise crossed her face. “How did you make it up here?” she asked.
