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

Chapter 861:

“Firstly, Joyce is the one who sent money to Lone Wolf. She’s after Cedric.” Daniela’s brow furrowed. “Eight hundred million to get Cedric? So soon after Doug died? Is she that obsessed with him?”

Lillian agreed. “She couldn’t have him before, and now with money, she’s hellbent on getting him.”

Daniela laughed lightly. “And the second revelation?”

“I tracked Joyce’s finances and discovered she funded Alexander’s plastic surgery. There were multiple payments between them.”

Daniela nodded as she listened. “Given what Alexander revealed yesterday, everything adds up. Joyce is desperate for Cedric, while Alexander…”

Lillian added eagerly, “He’s interested in you!”

Daniela paused to take another sip of water. “So, what’s the third thing?”

Lillian’s expression turned serious, her brow furrowing. “The identity of the Lone Wolf’s leader remains a mystery, but our findings suggest their frequent activities in Olisvine. Interestingly, although their forces surround our villa, they don’t appear to be threatening.”

Daniela raised an eyebrow. “How so?”

Ryan explained, “Their actions don’t suggest they want to harm you. It’s almost as if they’re here to protect you.” Lillian shared his confusion.

Historically, Daniela’s group and the Lone Wolf had been adversaries. Their leadership had changed abruptly five years ago, and the group seemed to dissolve, leading everyone to believe the Lone Wolf had disbanded.

Now, they resurfaced out of nowhere, accepted Joyce’s eight hundred million, and yet they remain inactive. It was strange.

Daniela gave Ryan an instruction. “Investigate further. Return to the office and dig up whatever you can about the Lone Wolf.”

It was rare for Daniela to feel this curious about anyone.noveldrama

Cedric walked in just as Daniela uttered “Lone Wolf.” He paused briefly. “What wolf?” Cedric asked, stepping into the room.

Ryan and Lillian exited.

Daniela offered a warm smile. “For the time being, avoid returning to Phillips Group. I’ve instructed the secretary to transfer your belongings to Elite Lux. You’ll be sharing an office with me from now on.”

Cedric was clearly delighted with the arrangement.

Later at the office, Daniela powered up her computer to delve into the Lone Wolf’s background.

Just as she logged in, a loud cry disrupted the silence.

Nina’s voice came through, apologetic. “I’m sorry, but without an appointment, Ms. Harper is unavailable.” A sharp slap resonated.

Elyse’s furious tone filled the air. “Nina! Have you lost your senses? Your sister is in deep trouble, and this is your attitude? It seems like you take pleasure in her suffering. I swear I will make you regret this!” The sound of slapping echoed again.

Lillian rushed outside and helped Nina off the floor. Nina stepped aside, her face covered, and shot a scornful look at Elyse.

“How can you resort to violence at Elite Lux? Elyse Dury, don’t you respect Ms. Harper at all? This is unacceptable!” Lillian spat.

Elyse straightened her attire. “Where’s Daniela? I’m not speaking to anyone else. I need to see Daniela!”
