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

Chapter 1044:

He slowly swirled the wine in his glass, watching the deep red liquid coat the sides. “Look into who Alexander has been speaking with. I want to know exactly what he’s planning.”

The secretary nodded briskly, already pulling up information. As he worked, he added, “Sir, you might not be aware, but some people have set up an entirely separate tombstone for the deceased. That way, they can do whatever they want.”

The wine glass exploded in Cedric’s grip, shards scattering like deadly embers. Crimson trickled down his fingers, merging with the spilled wine in dark, sinuous rivulets.

Gasps rippled through the room as onlookers froze, their eyes locked on Cedric. Cedric, unbothered, wiped his bloodied hand with a handkerchief, as if the pain was nothing more than a passing inconvenience.

For a brief moment, the entire room fell into stunned silence.

Cedric remained unfazed, his voice turning even colder as he commanded, “Look into it. If Alexander dares pull such a stunt, make sure he never sees daylight again.”

The secretary’s breath hitched. He swallowed hard before managing a shaky, “Understood.”

Alexander caught the sharp gaze Cedric locked onto him.

A surge of satisfaction coursed through him in that moment.

Cedric might have been powerful, but the title of the country’s richest man now belonged to him. Cedric might have loved Daniela deeply, but after three long years, he had found her first.

He couldn’t understand why Cedric even believed Daniela was gone, but this time, he had found her first.

Just like a decade ago, it was Daniela who had taken the first step towards him. This time, he would seize every opportunity and ensure Cedric had no chance to turn the tables.

The mere thought sent a wave of exhilaration through Alexander.

With a smug smile, he strode toward Cedric. “Hi.”

Cedric’s expression remained unreadable; he didn’t spare Alexander a single glance.

Alexander wasn’t the least bit shaken by Cedric’s coldness. “All these years and you’re still just as impossible. Daniela must have had a hard time dealing with you when she was alive. Three years have passed—she wouldn’t hold it against you for moving on. You’re still young. Maybe it’s time to start living for yourself.” He let out a light chuckle. “Or maybe you should tell me your type. I’d be happy to set you up.”

At those words, Cedric finally turned his head, his gaze settling on Alexander’s self-satisfied expression.

He paused, then spoke in a voice as cold as ice. “What exactly are you so pleased about?”

Cedric’s words caught Alexander off guard. He blinked. “What?”

Cedric scoffed. “Has no one ever told you not to wear your emotions on your sleeve? What’s got you so thrilled? Or are you trying to rub something in my face?”noveldrama
