Chapter 359:
Everyone thought Daniela had brushed off the incident, but Cedric sensed a shift in her demeanor. On the
surface, she offered him smiles, but they never reached her eyes; they were just a facade. She allowed him to
stay but rarely inquired about his well-being. When he chlate, the warm milk that Josie used to prepare
at Daniela’s behest was conspicuously absent. On rainy days, Daniela no longer had someone pack an extra shirt
and suit in the car for him.
Only when these courtesies vanished did Cedric realize how much he had taken for granted the closeness
between him and Daniela before.
Caiden seemed blind to the change in Daniela, consumed with the three hundred million dollars, only to be
chased off by Cedric.
As tpassed, everyone started to notice Daniela’s growing distance from Cedric.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wasn’t just a physical distance but a breach in the silent understanding that once connected them.
Alexander was secretly pleased with this development. He felt his twith the Harper family had been fruitful.
No matter how charming Cedric appeared, he had reached an impasse with Daniela. The difference was that
Daniela had once doggedly pursued Alexander for a decade, which gave him a sense of superiority. So, when
Cedric was no longer welcomed in Daniela’s room, Alexander could almost feel Cedric’s dismay.
Holding a beer, Alexander joined Cedric in the pavilion, seating himself next to him.
“Didn’t | tell you?” Alexander scoffed.
“Daniela doesn’t know the meaning of commitment. She's just in it for the thrill of the chase, then she coldly
casts aside her conquests.”

Cedric took a sip of his beer, his tone flat.
“Really? So, you're admitting you were caught in her net?”
“That's ridiculous,” Alexander sputtered, his face contorting.
“I was never like you. | never harbored feelings for Daniela. It was all her doing—a one-sided obsession.”
Cedric’s laugh was scornful.
“Is that so? Well then, | hope you and Joyce find everlasting bliss.”
Alexander couldn’t even muster a smile. From the corner of his eye, he saw Cedric’'s composed, assured
demeanor and attempted to emulate it by stretching out his legs.
Cedric stood up. Alexander, observing his profile, felt a mix of relief and smugness.
“Cedric, just give up.
You'll never win Daniela over. She revels in manipulating emotions.
You can’t outsmart her.”
Cedric tilted his head back and finished his beer in one gulp. The empty bottle sailed through the air in a perfect
arc as he tossed it aside.
“Alexander, haven't you gained from all this?”
Alexander stiffened, gripping his beer. Cedric’s smirk was cutting.

enough to comment. But if you keep slandering her, don’t blme for coming down hard on you!”
Alexander turned, his face a mask of shock.
“What are you implying?”
“You say Daniela played with your feelings? When the financial crisis hit, the Bennett family wasn’t spared. Then,
out of nowhere, you landed a massive overseas order paid in full upfront, which saved Bennett Group from
collapse and led it to flourish, becoming the wealthiest in Olisvine.”
At these words, Alexander felt a cold shiver as he regarded Daniela anew.
