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

Chapter 832:

The car slowed as they neared Elite Lux.

The driver suddenly spoke. “Mr. Phillips, it’s Lillian! It looks like she’s seeing someone off.”

Cedric shoved the door open. Across the street, a black car was pulling away. Lillian stood beside it, watching. At first, she smiled, but as her eyes met Cedric’s, the warmth drained from her expression. Her gaze turned cold.

The secretary and driver exchanged nervous glances. This was bad!

Events unfolded just as the secretary and the driver had predicted.

When Cedric approached, Lillian locked the door to Elite Lux. She also posted a notice on the door.

Printed boldly on the paper were the words, “Cedric Phillips is prohibited from entering!” Accompanying the text was a high-resolution image of Cedric, recently printed by Ryan.

Both the secretary and the driver were speechless.

Cedric was in a panic. “Lillian, is Daniela ill?”

Lillian crossed her arms, her gaze cold and firm. “Cedric, stop avoiding the issue. Get ready for the divorce agreement.”

Cedric was taken aback, feeling as if the earth had shifted beneath his feet.

His secretary and driver were just as shocked.

“Hold on a moment. Isn’t this going a bit far? A divorce? Really?”

This was absolutely ridiculous.

The word “divorce” made Cedric’s entire body stiffen. He looked at Lillian intently, took a deep breath, and asked, “Is this divorce your idea, or Daniela’s?”

Lillian’s expression remained unreadable. “It doesn’t matter who brought it up. The divorce is happening. Tomorrow, when the lawyers are back, you’ll receive the divorce agreement. At the same time, we will cut all business relations with Phillips Group.” She then turned to the security chief, whose confusion was clear. “Starting now, no one from Phillips Group is allowed to enter. We are cutting all ties with them.”

Hearing this, Cedric’s secretary became visibly distressed.

“No! This has all been a big misunderstanding!” The secretary was taken aback by the intense reactions from those at Elite Lux.

It was all because Cedric had brought a celebrity to a minor charity event. How could it lead to the point of ending both business relations and a marriage?

“This is going too far!” the secretary exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Cedric appeared unconcerned about the business consequences. His focus remained entirely on Lillian as he continued to ask, “Is Daniela sick?”

Lillian stood firm, her expression cold and resolute.

Her expression unreadable, Lillian said, “Her condition does not concern you. We will handle it ourselves.”

Cedric then looked towards Ryan.

Ryan’s face was just as stern, and he remained silent for the time being.

“If there’s more to discuss, we can address it later. Right now, I need to know if Daniela is okay. Please, let me in. I admit, I wasn’t thinking straight tonight. If you want to punish me, I accept that. But I’m really concerned about her. Just let me see her for a moment. If she’s alright, I’ll leave right away. Can we agree on that?”

Cedric, who typically kept a composed and detached air, was visibly agitated.

Tonight, however, he displayed an unusual humility.

Ryan glanced at Lillian, her expression as hard and unmovable as stone. With a sigh, Ryan said, “You should leave. We’ll take care of any issues. Daniela is already resting, and your presence would only disturb her.”noveldrama
