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

Chapter 43:

Joyce’s fury nearly made her choke.

“You—”

“What about me?” Daniela cut in, her voice cold, her eyes sharp.

“You still think I’m that same easy target? Well, here’s a tip—don’t push me, or I’ll have you out of the Harper family faster than you can blink!”

Joyce’s eyes filled with tears as she pointed at Daniela.

“How could you! Dad says I’m his daughter! You can’t just kick me out! Daniela, you hate me, don’t you? You’re just jealous because Alexander likes me. But I’m your sister. Why would I hurt you?”

As she spoke, she staggered back, almost as if shoved, crashing dramatically against the restroom door.

Outside, Alexander stood leaning against the wall, a cigarette between his fingers. He watched as Joyce stumbled out of the restroom, her body collapsing onto the floor in a heap.

Joyce tilted her head back, her teary eyes wide with feigned innocence. She knew Alexander could see her in this state, looking as pitiful as possible.

She glanced up at Daniela, her voice thick with complaint.

“Daniela, why are you doing this to me? I know you like Alexander, but he’s my true love, too! Am I not allowed to love someone? Fine, it’s all my fault. I’ll kneel and beg if that’s what you want!” Her voice cracked, and her body shook as if she might collapse at any moment.

Daniela observed Joyce’s exaggerated performance with a calm, almost entertained expression. Her eyes briefly flicked toward the doorway, where Alexander stood silently watching.

Daniela chuckled and crossed her arms.

“Go on, kneel.”

Joyce froze, her cries suddenly trailing off. She was caught off guard, unsure of how to react to Daniela’s unexpected response.

“What?” she stammered, staring at Daniela in disbelief.

Daniela tilted her head slightly, her gaze sharp.

“You said you’d kneel, didn’t you? So go ahead, kneel. What’s the hold-up? Can’t follow through? Was all that talk just for show?”

Joyce’s face turned bright red with embarrassment, her confidence slipping away.

Alexander started to speak, but before he could say anything, Daniela’s cold stare landed on him.

“She said she’d kneel.

You heard her, didn’t you? I didn’t make her say it.”

Her voice was steady and unwavering, nothing like the gentle tone she used to have.

“This is a private matter between Joyce and me.

You’ve crossed the line, Mr. Bennett.”

Daniela let out a mocking laugh, her piercing eyes locked onto Alexander.

“So, what now, Mr. Bennett? Will you continue to defend Joyce after all this?”noveldrama

Alexander’s brow furrowed deeply as he faced her. It had been just three months since their divorce, and yet here she was, confronting him with such boldness.

Did being CEO of Elite Lux make her think she was untouchable?

His features darkened, and he was on the verge of retorting when Daniela added sharply, “Don’t test my patience. Push me one more time, and I’ll make damn sure both of you pay for it.”

Without waiting for his response, Daniela slammed her heel down on Joyce’s foot.
