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

Chapter 1086:

His booming voice drew glances from all directions.

Finding the whole scene tiresome, Daniela chose a seat in the back without much thought.

After some time, Alexander made his way over from the front row. “Daniela, there you are. I knew showing up at these events would eventually lead me to you. There’s a prime spot up front with a great view. Come sit with me.”

Daniela’s tone was icy. “No, thanks.”

Alexander’s grin stiffened, the confidence in his expression faltering. Dropping his voice, he leaned in slightly and said, “Daniela, I don’t know what went wrong last time. If something’s bothering you, don’t just bottle it up. Just tell me, and I’ll fix it.”

Daniela remained composed, her expression giving nothing away. She wasn’t upset. She had simply used Alexander’s attention to keep Cedric at a distance. Her goal was already accomplished. There was no reason to take things further with Alexander.

“Daniela, were you just keeping Cedric at a distance? Is that why you suddenly started talking to me more?” asked Alexander.

Daniela had never bothered to hide her motives, so Alexander had pieced it together when he got home. The thought had left him surprisingly amused. “But aren’t you two still married? You can keep using me. I really don’t mind,” he offered.

Daniela chuckled, meeting his gaze. “Don’t act like I was the only one who benefited. The world thought we might be getting back together, and that worked out quite well for you, didn’t it? Just the deals I know about are worth over a billion. That doesn’t even include the rise in your company’s stock prices. If we compare gains, you walked away with far more than I did. We both got exactly what we wanted, so why pretend otherwise? Do you think my memory loss makes me easy to fool? You’ve underestimated me.”

Alexander’s expression stiffened. Being called out so bluntly caught him off guard.

Daniela scoffed. “I lost my memory, not my wits. I don’t remember what happened in those three years, but people will tell me. So, there’s no need to act like we were particularly close. In business, it’s always better to stand on your own two feet. Or are you not worried about the reputation that comes with profiting off a woman?”noveldrama

A flicker of unease crossed Alexander’s face. The weight of embarrassment settled over him. Since Daniela’s return, she had once again proven her sharp business instincts to the world. Everyone wanted to be associated with her.

But Daniela was unpredictable. She had only shown him favor on a handful of occasions. However, people assumed that with her memory loss, he had a chance to rekindle their relationship.

Investors reacted accordingly. Partnerships flourished, and stock prices soared. Richard had done the calculations. From the moment Daniela reappeared to now, Bennett Group had gained over five billion in assets.

Alexander had intended to split the profits with Daniela. A fifty-fifty share seemed fair. He couldn’t bear to give it all away. But even a fifty-fifty split seemed too much to Richard.

“Daniela is already rich. She doesn’t need our small contribution, does she?” Richard had argued. “Besides, if you two remarry, you’ll share the assets anyway. Just forget about it.”
