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

Chapter 497

Chapter 497:

Richard remained in the living room, his resolve unwavering, waiting for Alexander to return with positive news.

Meanwhile, Alexander was driving fast. Daniela was on the balcony, her dress and hair fluttering wildly in the wind. Katrina sat in a nearby chair, observing Daniela with an icy stare.

“Daniela, you previously assisted by holding back Joyce’s dividends, so perhaps I owe you thanks.

Yet, you are too adept, reminiscent of Brylee—calm, skilled in finance, just like your mother.

Your mother and I were once close. I suggested subtly that she should leave Caiden, but her pride made her cling to him, leaving me no choice but to eliminate her. It was not my intention to end her life. She sealed her fate by choosing the wrong man. Now, here you are, repeating her errors. Why did you choose to divorce Alexander? Would it not have been simpler to remain with him? If you hadn’t divorced him, he wouldn’t have pursued Joyce, making her a citywide joke. But fret not, you will depart first, and soon after, I will deal with Alexander.”

Glancing at the clock, Katrina noted there was still half an hour before Daniela would need to obey Johan’s directive to jump. She needed to leave to establish an alibi. Offering Daniela a faint smile, she murmured, “Goodbye, Daniela.” Tonight, everything owned by Daniela would be hers. And it wouldn’t stop with Daniela. Alexander and, eventually, Caiden would also meet their ends at her hands.
