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

Chapter 675:

It was a cozy little pastry shop. As she stepped inside with a radiant smile, a man with a neatly trimmed beard walked towards her.

“Hello. Are you the instructor teaching rose pastries? I’m Leo.”

Natalie’s expression instantly soured.

“I couldn’t care less who you are! Where is Cedric?”noveldrama

“He isn’t here. He said he had already settled the payment with you, and today, I’m here to learn how to make the rose pastries.”

Natalie began to walk away, but the hypnotist chuckled, asking, “Should I still assist you?”

By the time Natalie got home, Nina had already heard the news. She was sitting on the sofa, peeling an orange. She looked up at Natalie and sneered.

“What, Cedric didn’t bother to show up? I figured you’d be coming back as his girlfriend.”

Without hesitation, Natalie crossed the room and slapped Nina hard.

“Bitch!”

Nina let out a laugh, clearly unfazed.

“Bitch? Then what does that make you? A thief who takes what isn’t yours!”

Natalie, burning with anger, retorted, “What’s with that smug look? Cedric probably didn’t even know I was coming, which is why he didn’t show. It only proves that he isn’t into you.”

Nina remained unbothered, feeling quite pleased.

“Oh really? If Cedric doesn’t care about me, then he definitely doesn’t care about you either.”

The tension finally exploded, and the two women were soon locked in a heated argument.

Elyse tried to intervene but was quickly slapped hard during the chaotic scuffle.

Frowning, she couldn’t help but wonder how she ended up with two daughters so fixated on romance.

Clearly, Cedric needed to be handled.

Without wasting another second, Elyse grabbed her phone and left.

Lately, Cedric had been picking Daniela up after work.

With the driver taking some time off, he was driving himself, and Daniela was sitting in the passenger seat.

As they made their way halfway down the road, Cedric suddenly felt something strange with the brakes.

He was about to pull over and check when, out of nowhere, a truck came speeding towards them.

There was no time to think, no time to react. Instinctively, Cedric threw his body over Daniela, trying to shield her from the impending impact.

In a split second, the sleek, expensive car was torn apart, reduced to a twisted heap of scrap metal, surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke.

Elyse was in the crowd, watching from a distance.

She heard Daniela’s frantic voice and saw the medical team rush to Cedric’s side.

Daniela stayed close, accompanying her unconscious husband into the ambulance, her presence commanding the scene. As she stood by the ambulance, she cast a cold, sweeping glance at the onlookers, her eyes narrowing as they landed on one particular person.

Then, through the smoke and biting cold wind, she let her lips curve into a slow, calculating smile.
