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

Chapter 606:

“He was.”

“Then why did you change your decision?”

“Because he was too loud,” she replied flatly.

Killian had never known that the reason Daniela replaced him wasn’t because of his skills, but because he was too noisy.

For the first time, Ryan felt thankful for being a man of few words.

“Does this mean Killian is investigating you? He works for Cedric, so it’s your lawful husband looking into you.”

Daniela nodded again.

“I don’t mind. Let him try.” But he wouldn’t uncover anything.

Cedric was well aware that Daniela could see through him, so he decided to come clean right away.

“Killian’s been feeling down. He thinks Ryan has completely surpassed him. Ryan’s gotten so good that Killian feels like he has no way to keep up. He’s been asking me where Ryan learned all his skills, and now he’s thinking of finding a mentor himself.”

When Daniela heard that, she couldn’t help but smile with a hint of mystery.

“Have him solve that piece of code, and I’ll have Ryan reveal who his mentor is. After all, there’s always a test when you want to learn from someone, right? Let that code be the challenge.”

Cedric looked at her, clearly puzzled.

“Shouldn’t you have Ryan consult his mentor? Killian’s skills are solid, and with the right guidance, he could probably figure it out pretty quickly.”

Flashing a smile, Daniela stated, “I have a solid connection with Ryan’s mentor. If Killian really pulls this off, I’ll back him up as a spokesperson.”

In the days that followed, Killian’s obsession with decoding the mystery deepened.

Meanwhile, Cedric watched on with a blend of patience and anticipation, hoping Killian would master the code, apprentice under its enigmatic creator, and unearth the secrets Daniela had carefully concealed.

Yet, as weeks turned into a month, Killian’s frustration became palpable. He had anxiously tugged at his once-lush hair, now thinning rapidly, but still, no breakthroughs emerged.noveldrama

Realizing the answers might forever elude him, Cedric abandoned his wait.

With a resolute stride, he made his way to Elite Lux to confront Daniela in person.

However, just as he approached Daniela’s office, the secretary stopped him with a curt note that Daniela had left with Lillian.

Elsewhere, hidden within the walls of the Harper family estate, Katrina had been living under a veil of dread. Now, forced into the open, her anxiety surged.

As their car exited the villa’s gates, the driver turned, his face etched with concern.

“Mrs. Harper, we’re being followed.”

A wave of fear washed over Katrina, her complexion draining.

“Drive faster! Lose them!” she commanded, her voice quivering.

The driver nodded just as their car was abruptly rammed from behind. Katrina’s head snapped forward, colliding with the seat in front of her. The impact left the driver scrambling to regain control, his hands trembling on the wheel.

“Hurry up! We need to move faster!” Katrina’s voice was laced with urgency as she leaned forward in her seat, her eyes wide with panic.

The driver, sensing the gravity of the situation, pressed his foot harder against the accelerator.
