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

Chapter 1304:

At the door, Joseph lifted his arm to bar their way. “Apologies, but Mr. McCoy wishes to speak with Ms. Harper alone.”

Carol didn’t protest. Daniela, after all, feared no one.

Cedric, however, was not so calm. He spoke firmly without missing a beat. “No. I’m going in too.”

Joseph gave a courteous smile, turning his attention to Daniela. “Ms. Harper, Mr. McCoy wishes to speak on serious matters. Wouldn’t it be better if those unrelated stepped aside?”

Daniela’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint forming.

The way Joseph treated Cedric reflected how Hamilton saw Cedric’s worth. Joseph daring to call Cedric “unnecessary” made one thing clear—he didn’t see Cedric as a real heir to the McCoy legacy.

It also meant Hamilton himself hadn’t truly accepted Cedric as his son.

Daniela had looked into it before. Hamilton had tried to find his illegitimate son, but it was clear he hadn’t been genuine; there was probably a hidden motive behind his actions.

Before, Daniela had held her tongue—only out of deference to the fact that Hamilton was Cedric’s father.

But now, it was clear that Hamilton didn’t deserve her respect.

Daniela’s face hardened.

Joseph noticed but didn’t let it bother him.

In his eyes, no matter how sharp Daniela appeared, she was still a young woman—clever, yes, but far from being a real threat to Hamilton’s mastery of business and strategy.noveldrama

Hamilton, a man of immense power, was the one Daniela and Cedric should be trying to impress. They should be respectful toward his secretary too. So why was she looking at him with such disdain?

Joseph’s annoyance simmered, but he kept his smile intact. “Ms. Harper, this way, please.”

Daniela cast him a scornful glance, a mocking smile playing at her lips. “Cedric and I are a couple. If Mr. McCoy won’t meet us together, then he won’t meet either of us at all.”

Joseph’s expression darkened.

In the past, countless people had pleaded for a chance to meet Hamilton.

Now, Daniela had the audacity to make demands?

“Are you sure you won’t meet him?” Joseph’s voice took on a sharper edge.

Daniela didn’t even bother to answer. She simply turned and walked away.

Joseph stood frozen, too stunned to call out after her.

Joseph finally returned to Hamilton’s side and said, “Mr. McCoy, Daniela has left.”

Hamilton, seated at the head of the table, slowly opened his eyes. “I heard every word.”

Joseph’s face flushed with anger. “She’s unbearably arrogant! She doesn’t respect you at all.”

Hamilton smiled coldly. “She has no regard for anyone here. There’s only one person she cares about.”
