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

Chapter 930:

Cedric’s mind began to blur, and he found himself muttering, “This fruit really is delicious.”

Daniela, exhausted, nestled in Cedric’s arms and let out a soft laugh.

“What’s so funny?” Cedric asked, trying to sound authoritative.

Daniela, unfazed, kissed Cedric on the lips. “Why are you upset?”

“You don’t care about me!” Cedric accused, his voice tinged with frustration.

“How could I not care about you?”

Cedric’s expression darkened as he pulled her close, holding her tightly. Daniela asked, “Didn’t you notice? Those three girls don’t resemble Hackett at all. Not only that, but they don’t even look like sisters.”

Cedric’s grip loosened, and he slowly lowered his head, considering her words.

Daniela gazed up at Cedric, her smile full of mischief.

Hackett was certain that no man could resist beautiful women, especially ones as mesmerizing as his three daughters.

His secretary muttered, “Do you think Cedric will take the bait?”

Hackett snorted, a mocking laugh escaping him. “I have whatever type he likes.”noveldrama

At his words, the secretary quickly averted her gaze, a fleeting look of fear crossing her eyes.

Hackett gave his secretary a quick glance, grinned, and tugged her into the room.

The night dragged on, filled with the anguished sobs of the secretary. The following day, the commerce association gathered once again for another meeting.

But this time, Winslow was absent.

Marc furrowed his brow. “What’s happening with Winslow? We’re at a turning point. Cedric just took down Bruno, and we have no idea who’s next. Does Winslow really think Cedric won’t go after him?”

Huey narrowed his eyes at the group, a sharp warning in his voice. “Listen up, we’re a team. If anyone tries to cozy up to Cedric behind our backs, don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ll be ruthless if I find out!”

At Huey’s words, the group quickly murmured their assurances. Yet in their minds, the opposite was true. It seemed smarter to offer a token of goodwill.

After all, if they ended up as the next target, they might end up like Bruno, who could barely afford a luxury hotel these days. If not for marrying off his daughter to the head of a global corporation, his company would have crumbled.

The group was deep in thought as the meeting continued.

After the meeting, everyone sent their gifts to Cedric. Taking Daniela’s advice to heart, Cedric accepted them all, putting the givers at ease.

The only one who didn’t send a gift was Huey, and the other seven exchanged looks of pity.

Huey ruled the hardware industry, from basic screws and scissors to advanced aerospace components, and his products were unparalleled. Over the years, he’d ruthlessly acquired any competitors that dared to emerge, monopolizing the field.

The only challenge to his reign had been Brylee, whose innovative hardware company shattered Huey’s monopoly.

Brylee had been the only one to succeed in this over the years. Huey was arrogant, ranking third in the association but carrying himself like a top dog. He dismissed the fear that gripped the others, secretly plotting to take on Cedric.
