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

Chapter 26:

In a clever move, Joyce discreetly texted Katrina, prompting her to make sure Caiden watched the livestream by accident. With a practiced, sweet smile plastered on her face, Joyce exited the elevator.

Daniela was by the window, her eyes fixed on the sprawling urban landscape below. As Joyce confidently approached, phone raised and recording, Daniela remained her focus. Nearby, Lillian stepped forward, intent on intervening.

However, Daniela reached out, placing a reassuring hand on Lillian’s arm to stop her. Lillian glanced at Daniela, who said, “Now that she’s here, let’s not waste the opportunity. We might as well use her little spectacle to drum up some free publicity for my comeback and Elite Lux.”

With a chuckle, Lillian nodded, giving Daniela a silent thumbs-up in agreement.

Joyce entered, unaware of the undercurrents swirling in the room. Her camera was already rolling as she captured the grandeur of the opulent office, her voice bubbling with excitement.

“Wow, look at this, everyone! Can you believe my sister? Only three months on her own, completely cut off financially by our family, and she’s already made it into one of the most prestigious buildings in the city. And here she is, being personally hosted by the manager! Isn’t my sister just remarkable?”noveldrama

Her tone, though seemingly admiring, dripped with sarcasm and insinuations, suggesting that Daniela might have ascended the social ladder through less-than-reputable means.

Continuing her broadcast, Joyce turned her critical gaze on the manager and quipped sharply, “You should watch out. Some people just can’t help but lie. I’d bet Daniela doesn’t even have a hundred bucks in her pocket right now.”

The manager took a step forward, intending to clarify the situation, but a glance from Daniela stopped him. Daniela’s signal was clear to the manager—let the idiot put on their pathetic little show.

Joyce spotted Daniela stopping the manager, confirming her suspicions. A self-satisfied grin spread across her face. With a raised eyebrow, she taunted, “I got it right, didn’t I?”

Clad in her flowing, elegant gown, Daniela returned a serene smile.

“Indeed, I don’t have a hundred bucks on me right now.”

At Daniela’s admission, Joyce could barely contain her glee. Her eyes sparkled with a victorious gleam. Daniela was on the verge of embarrassment.

“Listen up, everyone! She just confessed. She doesn’t even have a hundred bucks, but here she is, putting on a show like she’s a millionaire. So, Daniela, are you actually the Elite Lux CEO’s mistress, or is this just another one of your pathetic lies? Did you deceive the manager to gain entry to this esteemed establishment? I once thought you were merely superficial and materialistic, but now it’s clear you’re a complete charlatan. Are you aware that such deceit could land you behind bars?”

Joyce was thoroughly convinced of Daniela’s duplicity, yet Daniela observed with a calm demeanor as Joyce embarrassed herself.

Meanwhile, Joyce’s theatrical tirade was already making waves online. Caiden was the first to comment, his words full of indignation.

“Daniela! Will you stop at nothing to tarnish the Harper name? Joyce, inform Daniela that I’ve cut all ties with her. From this moment forward, her actions and her words are her own. She is no longer my daughter.”

Following his outburst, the internet buzzed with reactions from the public.

“Oh my, is her father really casting her aside so publicly?”

“What did Joyce just announce? Daniela is linked with the CEO of Elite Lux? Are we talking about the same Elite Lux? The one that’s a titan in the international design industry?”
