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

Chapter 542:

“Cedric has always thrived in a lively environment. I’ve seen his home grow empty and him colder each day. Solitary business endeavors are challenging. He has faced many trials alone. His grandmother and I did our best to support him, but it was hardly enough. He was always disciplined, precisely knowing his limits. Throughout these years, I’ve never observed him care for anyone like he does for you. It warms my heart to see him find true love. I’m thankful you’ve entered his life. Otherwise, I feared he might end up alone. When he asked me to care for you, I didn’t hesitate because any woman who could win Cedric’s heart must be extraordinary.”

Wrapped in a warm blanket and enjoying some hot soup, Daniela looked towards Cedric, who was busy in the kitchen, and a gentle smile crossed her face.

She thought to herself how wonderful Cedric was and dreaded the thought of ever losing him.noveldrama

Meanwhile, Katrina and Joyce shared a hospital room in silence.

Eventually, Katrina broke the silence.

“Joyce, you’re young and don’t grasp the dangers of high society’s games. People can die from them. No matter how upset you are, I won’t get involved with Doug.”

Joyce gazed coldly out the hospital garden window.

“I don’t expect you to go out of your way for me. I have my methods, and I’m prepared to risk everything, even if it means sacrificing my life.”

Following this, Joyce requested a nurse to change her room.

A chill gripped Katrina as she remembered Daniela’s willingness to risk everything for her mother, contrasting sharply with Joyce’s readiness to risk only her mother’s well-being.

Katrina sighed deeply, closed her eyes, and tears began to fall.

Despite her injuries, the debt collectors that arrived weren’t deterred.

They stormed into the hospital, knives at the ready, pressing against Joyce’s already bruised face.

“You planned this, didn’t you? You told us Daniela was wealthy and then told Cedric to stick by her side, preventing us from kidnapping her.”

Joyce shook her head in fright.

“I didn’t do that. Why not bring more muscle? Can’t you handle Cedric?” Immediately, another wound marked Joyce’s face.

“Still brave enough to talk back? Do you realize who Cedric is?”

Confused, Joyce replied, “Cedric is the CEO of Phillips Group. Are you intimidated by a mere businessman?” If so, Daniela’s influence was much larger. Shouldn’t they fear her more?

“Cedric is Ramon Dillon’s adopted son, and he’s long been connected to the underworld, more than you know. Are you concealing more? Is Cedric protecting Daniela merely over business interests?” Struck by this, Joyce fell silent.

Ramon Dillon? The man was known for his ruthlessness. Cedric was Ramon’s adopted son?

“Do you have secrets to tell?” The debt collector eyed Joyce coldly.

“No, there’s really nothing more. They are merely business partners. Had there been more, it would have been public by now. Initially, Cedric showed interest in Daniela, but that changed over time.” Joyce paused, then added, “Now, he has feelings for me.”

The moment Joyce finished speaking, the debt collectors erupted in laughter, full of scorn.

“What nonsense! Cedric wouldn’t even look at you! Tell the truth, or you’ll regret it.”
