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

Chapter 1324:

That answer hit harder than the secretary expected. His head lifted, and for the first time, he truly looked at Daniela.

Living under Hamilton’s control had crushed his pride for longer than he cared to admit. But now, watching someone stand up to Hamilton so boldly, it stirred something in him. It thrilled him.

“Should I relay that to Mr. McCoy as it is?” the secretary asked, still a bit hesitant. “Does that mean you plan to bring Elite Lux to Oiscoll?”

With the brand already established globally, it would have been the obvious move for someone like Daniela.

A small, confident smile played on her lips. “No. That would be too easy. I want to beat Hamilton in the one place he thinks he’s unbeatable.”

Every word she spoke was meant to remind Hamilton that Cedric had more than just potential—he had her supporting him.

Before walking away, the secretary stole one last look at Daniela. There she was—composed, fearless, the kind of woman people dreamed of becoming.
