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

Chapter 980:

Elyse clutched Nina’s arm. “Where are you going? Your sister’s lost it! If you go after her, she’ll kill you!”noveldrama

Nina’s jaw tightened. “If I don’t, she’ll go straight for Daniela!”

Elyse’s expression darkened with greed. “Let her go after them! If she kills Daniela and Cedric, all their wealth will be mine. Linden is already dead by her hands, so why stop there? Let her finish Daniela off too. The wealth we’ll gain will make it all worthwhile! Nina, from now on, you’re my only daughter, and I promise to take good care of you!”

But Nina wrenched herself free. “Keep your blood money! I want nothing to do with it!” With that, she bolted.

Natalie grabbed a handheld fan from the car and sped away.

Daniela had already made her way to the asylum.

Caiden was far calmer than when Daniela had last seen him. “You’re here, Daniela.”

Daniela settled into her seat, her voice steady. “Winslow Flore. Have you ever come across this name?”

Caiden replied, “I have, though not in much detail. From what I recall, your mother’s final business deal involved this man. I didn’t concern myself with the details, but I do remember that time being particularly windy. His name stuck with me because it sounded like the wind itself. I even told your mother it had a certain ring to it—perhaps that’s why I remember it.”

Daniela’s expression remained unreadable. “Is there anything else?”

“That’s all. But I do recall your mother mentioning she had been preparing a major deal with him. I never involved myself in her business matters, so I didn’t think much of it. After her passing, though, I saw in the news that Winslow had successfully sealed the deal on his own. It skyrocketed his wealth.”

Daniela remained silent, a faint furrow forming between her brows.

“That’s everything I know,” Caiden added.

Daniela made a slight movement, preparing to rise.

Caiden suddenly leaned forward, his tone urgent. “Daniela, you can’t keep me locked away forever. You let Elyse go, didn’t you? Then why not me? I’ve told you everything you wanted to hear. I deserve my freedom too.”

Daniela didn’t spare him another glance. Without a word, she turned on her heel and walked out of the hospital.

As she stepped outside, Caiden’s wild screams rang out, carried by the wind, their eerie resonance lingering in the mountains like a ghostly wail.

Daniela and Lillian made their way back home.

When the car ran low on fuel, Lillian took it to a nearby station to refuel.

Left alone, Daniela decided to walk the rest of the way home. Midway through her journey, a sudden awareness prickled at her senses—someone was approaching at an alarming speed.

She turned, only to be met with Natalie’s bloodstained figure, her expression twisted with menace.

In Natalie’s grip, a dagger gleamed under the dim light as she lunged forward. Daniela’s eyes narrowed, poised to counter, when another movement from her side caught her attention—someone else was charging at her.

A second attack?

Daniela’s muscles tensed. Acting on instinct, she intercepted the incoming figure, grasped their arm, and used their own force against them, sending them tumbling aside.
