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

Chapter 931:

So, he scoffed at the idea of sending gifts.

Daniela had set her sights on Huey next.

When his authority was first challenged, he was the one who suggested eliminating Brylee by any means before anyone else even thought of it.

The day before Daniela made her move, she attended a banquet. Cedric, occupied with greeting international guests, mentioned he would be arriving late.

From a distance, Huey spotted Daniela and made his way towards her, holding a glass of wine.

“Ms. Harper,” he greeted in a dismissive tone.

Daniela gazed at him with indifference.

“What’s with the attitude?” he sneered. “Everyone knows you’re just a puppet for Cedric. He’s the one behind it all.”

Daniela gave him a look that suggested he was an idiot.

Huey chuckled, leaning in closer to whisper, “Being with Cedric isn’t easy, huh? Let me show you a better way. If you ever choose to leave him, come to me. I promise you’ll live a life of ease.”

He took in Daniela’s delicate profile, then added, “You look just like your mother. Maybe you could do what she wouldn’t. I’d be more than happy to welcome it.”

His words were laced with a suggestive undertone.

Lillian quickly stormed over and slapped him.

Enraged, Huey attempted to retaliate, but Ryan kicked him away.

Every journey starts at gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․c𝗈𝗆

The commotion drew the attention of everyone at the banquet.

Daniela stood facing Huey, her eyes cold and emotionless.

She moved closer to him, bent down, and with a soft chuckle, whispered something in his ear.

At her words, Huey’s face drained of color, turning pale and pitiful.

That night, Elite Lux made their move.

Every one of Huey’s ships bound for overseas was ambushed by pirates. Eleven ships, packed with valuable goods, disappeared without a trace. After receiving the call, Huey slumped into his chair, hastily arranging to meet Cedric, only to be told that Cedric was still occupied with the foreign guests.

Huey bribed the hotel staff to gain access to the surveillance footage, confirming that Cedric hadn’t made any calls during the meeting.

A cold sweat broke out along Huey’s spine.

This meant the real mastermind wasn’t Cedric. It was Daniela all along! And tonight, he had insulted not only Daniela, but her late mother as well.

Huey’s eyes widened in disbelief, his mind going blank as he struggled to comprehend the situation.

The eleven ships contained Huey’s entire fortune. His legs shook uncontrollably. He couldn’t decide whether this was just bad luck or if Daniela was behind the whole thing. Desperate, he reached out to every contact he had, hoping to recover the goods from the ships. Huey dialed Hackett’s number.

Hackett, dismissive of the situation, responded, “What does Daniela have to do with this? Even Cedric couldn’t pull something like this off. Eleven ships with hundreds of containers, worth billions. Do you really think Cedric has the power to do that? Even if he did, he couldn’t sell it.”

Huey voiced his suspicion. “What if it’s Daniela instead of Cedric? She has connections overseas!”
