Chapter 1193
Chapter 1193:
Just as Cedric finished disciplining Nikolas and started back, Alexander rose to his feet. He offered Cedric a friendly smile. “Surely, you’re not that insecure, are you? I’m simply fulfilling my duties. And should I ever decide to court Daniela, I assure you, it would only be on my own time. How about we keep it a fair contest?”
Cedric’s fists tightened; his anger was evident. Just as he was about to respond, a derisive snort interrupted him.
Alexander’s attention shifted to the source of the sound.
Standing up with her dog in her arms, Daniela fixed Alexander with a scornful look. “Are you attempting to manipulate someone with your reverse psychology?”
Alexander had anticipated many possible reactions from Cedric but did not foresee Daniela, even with her memory issues, defending Cedric so vehemently.
Frustration gnawed at him, yet he understood that showing anger would only alienate Daniela further.
He opted for a calm approach and explained to Daniela, “I apologize if it came across wrongly. I was merely speaking about my professional role. Since we are both part of the Olisvine business community, we’ll inevitably meet again. Surely we shouldn’t avoid each other indefinitely, right?”
Alexander then offered Cedric a conciliatory smile.
He had thought to challenge Cedric’s pride by saying, “A true gentleman wouldn’t be so trivial, right?”
But after thinking it over, he restrained himself and said with a smile, “You understand my point, don’t you?”
Meanwhile, Nikolas, nursing his bruised face, approached Daniela. “Give me half a month. If you still find the arrangement unacceptable, I’ll dismiss him, okay?”
Cedric, weary of the drama, was about to reply when Daniela interjected coldly, “Tasha, prepare Nikolas’ belongings for his immediate departure.”
Tasha responded promptly, “Alright.”noveldrama

Both Nikolas and Alexander stood there, taken aback.
Nikolas immediately turned to Daniela and said, “Didn’t you make me a promise that you’d let my secretary come and take care of me?”
Daniela’s eyes turned cold. “I also warned you not to upset Cedric.”
Nikolas turned around, casting a glance at Cedric. “What exactly upset him? Daniela, you’re spoiling him too much.”
Wasn’t Daniela supposed to have amnesia? Why did she still care about Cedric so much?
“Daniela, you can’t just kick me out!” Nikolas was clearly flustered now. Living here was convenient, and leaving would throw all his plans into chaos. Besides, the villa was luxurious, and he loved it here.
Daniela didn’t give a damn about Nikolas’ protests.
Nikolas glanced at Cedric and realized he couldn’t rely on this hopeless romantic. He chased after Daniela, trying to negotiate with her. “Come on, as Cedric’s brother, I think I deserve a little respect and consideration from you.”
“If he acknowledges you as a brother, then maybe. If he doesn’t, then you’re just some stranger.”
Nikolas protested, “He never said I wasn’t his brother!”
Daniela gradually came to a stop, turning her head with a chilling gaze fixed on Nikolas, her eyes glinting with a clear, dangerous edge. “What did you just say? Did you tell him he’s from the McCoy family?”
