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

Chapter 1235:

The warehouse door hung ajar. Mose peeked inside and froze, completely stunned by what he saw.

As he leaned in for another look, a sudden gust of wind slammed the warehouse door shut with a loud bang.

Mose jolted in surprise.

One of his men rushed over and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Mose tossed Winslow into the car and leaned in to whisper, “I think I just saw the boss’s…”

Carol drove back with Daniela, stealing countless glances at her throughout the ride.

Daniela sat silently, staring out the window, her face unreadable.

Carol couldn’t hold back any longer. Halfway through the drive, she exclaimed, “Damn! This story is a brutal rollercoaster of love and betrayal. Is the McCoy family responsible for your mom’s death? Oh my God! What are we supposed to do now?”

Carol couldn’t help but feel it was too much drama. “What are we going to do?”

By the time Daniela and Carol were heading back, the clock had already slipped past four. Empty streets stretched endlessly under the dim glow of the streetlights.

Fog crept across the glass, casting a ghostly chill over the inside of the car.

Carol broke the silence with a frustrated groan. “So now what? What’s your next move? And Cedric—what about him? His father is a monster. He dumped his own kid into an orphanage, and one of them even killed your mother. It’s insane.”

Carol’s rant didn’t stop there. She kept going, one breath rolling into the next.

As the car finally rolled to a stop outside the villa, Carol leaned closer and lowered her voice. “Daniela, listen. This mess isn’t Cedric’s fault. Don’t take it out on him, okay? And come on, they only said ‘Mr. McCoy’—that could be anyone. Maybe it’s not even Cedric’s family.”

Nothing on Daniela’s face gave away how she felt. She had already gone over every detail in her head. Winslow’s reasoning hadn’t left any holes.

A person who was about to spend the rest of his life in prison would cooperate for his daughter’s sake.

Carol let her shoulders drop and sighed. “So what now? What are you planning to do?”

Without offering a single word, Daniela stepped out and pushed the villa door open.

Later that night, Mose sent Cedric a message. “Boss, Clarinda turned the man over to me. But he didn’t make it. Got ambushed halfway—he’s dead.”

Still groggy from sleep, Cedric blinked at his screen.

Sitting at the edge of the bed, he stared into nothing for what felt like ages. When he finally got up and headed downstairs, the first thing he did was tell Daniela.

Daniela didn’t react.

Brows furrowed, Cedric glanced at her. “Wasn’t Winslow supposed to be important? He’s gone now. Aren’t you even a little shaken?”

Daniela gave only a nod, barely noticeable, before turning and walking away.

Cedric asked if Daniela would be back for lunch. No answer came.
