Chapter 226:
Alexander's mood soured instantly. What on earth was this supposed to mean? Was he expected to work under
Cedric’s supervision if he won the project?
Seeing the speople who had been buttering him up moments ago now gravitate towards Cedric filled
Alexander with indignation, yet he refrained from storming out.
Straightening his posture, he walked over to Lillian with a steely expression.
“Can | have a copy of that confidential budget report?”
Lillian gave him a bemused look before chuckling.
“I'm sorry, and you are?”
Alexander furrowed his brow. He was about to say something when Lillian’s sharp, mocking voice cut him off.

“What's this? Daniela divorces you, and you're still hanging around like a parasite? This is private business, don't
you get it? An ex-husband is an outsider, not an insider. Got that?”
Lillian’s words landed like a slap, and the room’s attention snapped to Alexander in an instant.
The crowd, including those who had just handed him their business cards, now murmured to each other in
hushed tones.
The weight of their stares pressed against Alexander, his face flushing with humiliation.

Seething with rage, he shot Lillian a furious glare.
“Fine! If you won't give it to me, I'll take it straight to Daniela.
You're just her subordinate, and | won't lower myself to your level. But clearly, Daniela needs to reevaluate her
staff training. I'll make sure to have a word with her about this!”
With that, he stormed off, fury radiating from every step.
Keith, who had been trailing Alexander all day, didn’t get the outche had hoped for either.
When he finally returned home, his father wasted no tin giving him an earful.
“Stop following Alexander around! Otherwise, Daniela will hate you too! That woman is our golden opportunity—
don’t ruin this for us!”
After the harsh scolding, Keith left in a huff and headed straight to a bar. Feeling a surge of frustration, Keith
grabbed his phone and dialed Alexander's number. However, the call was dismissed. Alexander was heading
straight for Elite Lux.
When he reached Daniela’s office, she was fully absorbed in sorting through a large stack of paperwork. She
didn’t even look up to acknowledge his presence.
“Mr. Bennett, have you forgotten basic manners? You didn’t even bother knocking.”
Alexander's anger boiled over, threatening to spill out.

Lillian had already informed Daniela of the situation, so Daniela was fully aware of what had happened.
“I heard you called Lillian my subordinate? Letmake one thing perfectly clear—everyone in this building is
my equal. Lillian is my friend, someone | trust deeply and treat like family. | won't stand for anyone disrespecting
her. Consider this a warning.”
Finally, she raised her gaze, her eyes icy and commanding.
“lI won't be so lenient next time.”
