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

Chapter 668:

“What do you mean by that? I don’t even see you as an opponent.”

The words hit Alexander like a blow, igniting his fury.

“Don’t get too cocky. I’m the one who’s been loved by Daniela for ten years. I won’t back down.”

Cedric’s look at Alexander was one of utter disdain, as if he were staring at something worthless.

“You’re still clinging to that? Do you really think you’ve got a chance? You’re fooling yourself. Daniela has standards. And you’re too tainted—better suited for someone like Joyce.”

The mention of Joyce made Alexander’s blood boil. It stung like an open wound, a reminder of the shame he couldn’t escape.

Cedric, uninterested in dragging things out, turned to leave.noveldrama

But just as he stepped away, Alexander’s voice rang out, laced with a chilling edge.

“Don’t wear her out too much in bed, Cedric. Daniela’s not as strong as you think.”

Cedric halted in his tracks.

A cold glance flickered across his face. He had no intention of sharing details of his private life with anyone other than Daniela, especially not with Alexander.

“Alexander, I don’t care to discuss my private life. But just so you know, if I wanted to, I could wipe Sunny Pharmaceuticals off the map without breaking a sweat.”

The words hit Alexander like a punch. His face shifted from arrogance to shock.

“I dare you.”

Cedric’s smile was almost imperceptible, a flicker of amusement.

“You really want to test me?”

Without waiting for a response, he turned on his heel, hands casually stuffed into his pockets.

Alexander gave Daniela the proposal in the morning, but Sunny Pharmaceuticals went bankrupt in the afternoon.

The news reached Daniela soon after, and she was taken aback. Her brow furrowed as she asked, “What exactly did he do to set you off?”

Cedric was direct.

“He was after you. And besides, if I didn’t step in, it seemed like he forgot who runs the game in Olisvine.”

Daniela nodded, her expression unreadable, before discarding the proposal Alexander had handed her into the trash.

To anyone watching, Cedric might’ve seemed unshakable, but inside, he was tense. The lack of anger from Daniela gave him some relief, and he exhaled, the weight easing off his chest.

With a sense of satisfaction, he managed to obliterate several of Bennett Group’s latest projects, all before the day was done. As Cedric prepared to head downstairs to receive a parcel, Alexander appeared at the door.

Without knocking, he stormed in.

“Cedric Phillips, don’t you know how to show some grace after a win?”

Cedric didn’t even flinch, his face unreadable. After all, he was the untouchable CEO, the one everyone in Olisvine feared.

“I don’t bother with that.”

Anger bubbled up in Alexander’s chest.

“You’re worried, aren’t you? Afraid that I’ll become a real threat and take your spot next to Daniela?”
