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

Chapter 733:

Just as he was about to leave, Daniela let out a chuckle and said slowly, “Have you ever heard that saying?”

The man turned his head in surprise.

Daniela’s red lips curled slightly as she spoke.

“You can make a fortune, but if you’re dead, none of that money will matter.” The man’s heart skipped a beat at her words.

“Go on,” Daniela said, her smile growing as she straightened up and began to walk away.

Panicked, the man shouted, “Hey, what do you mean by that?”

“Exactly what it sounds like,” Daniela replied with a smile that seemed to deepen.

But the man’s smile faded instantly, and his arrogance evaporated. Fear overtook him, and he stared at Daniela with wide eyes.

“What do you mean? You have to explain yourself!”

Standing in the restaurant hallway, Daniela smiled as a breeze swept in through the open window.

Her expression stayed calm and collected, her voice as casual as if she were commenting on the weather.

“Have you ever heard of Shadowpeak Madhouse?”

The moment the words left her mouth, the man felt a chill crawl up his spine, goosebumps rising on his arm.

“A few days ago, I sent Caiden there. I’m visiting him tomorrow. The hospital says he’s lonely and needs a roommate. I think you’ll fit in perfectly.”

The man’s legs gave out, and he dropped to his knees with a heavy thud.

Shadowpeak Madhouse was infamous for housing the most violent and vengeful patients. It was rumored that those who entered alive were never seen the same again.

“I was wrong! I swear, I was just after money, I meant no harm. I was only filming Cedric’s daily habits, that’s all,” the man said in a shaky voice.

He extended his phone towards her with trembling hands.

Daniela opened the photo album, and her eyes scanned the screen. It was indeed just videos of Cedric’s everyday life.noveldrama

“Why film this? Who’s pulling the strings here?”

The man wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly said, “I don’t know. They contacted me online. Every time I sent a video, they paid me. I’ve never met the person. When I asked about their intentions, they got cautious and told me to stop asking or they’d stop working with me.”

Daniela went through the chat history on the phone and saw the man was telling the truth. She snapped, “Leave!”

The man glanced at the phone in her hand.

“What about my phone?”

With a knowing look, Daniela raised the phone slightly.

“You want it?” The man quickly closed his mouth and began to walk away, looking embarrassed.

Daniela gave a quick nod to Lillian, who was standing at the end of the hallway, and then said, “Give him ten thousand.”

As Daniela slipped the phone into her pocket, she walked back to her table.

When she sat back down, Cedric served her some food and asked, “What took you so long?”
