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

Chapter 42

Chapter 42:

A murmur of laughter rippled through the audience, amusement flickering in their eyes as they turned their attention back to Alexander, eagerly awaiting his reaction to Cedric’s bold confrontation.

Alexander didn’t utter a word, simply pulling Joyce back into her seat. The crowd, anticipating more drama, let out a unified sigh of disappointment.

In the end, Daniela secured the jade tiger for an impressive $19 million and handed it over to Lillian as a gift.

Lillian, her face alight with delight, shot a smug glance at Joyce, whose barely concealed fury twisted her expression. With a loud voice, she declared, “Thanks, Daniela!”

Joyce, seething with rage, had veins popping from her forehead as she struggled to contain her anger. Daniela had once been nothing more than a lovesick fool. Alexander had never wanted her. And now, just because she had become a powerful CEO, she thought she could act superior?

As the auction wrapped up, Daniela lingered to chat with the event organizer. Seizing the moment, Joyce quickly lifted her phone and snapped a picture of Daniela. Turning to Alexander, she said, “Alexander, look at her! Daniela has no shame. First, she was flirting with Cedric, and now she’s all over the organizer, who’s old enough to be her father. She’s making a fool of the Harper family. And don’t forget—she was your wife. Think about the damage she’s doing to your reputation.”
