Chapter 234
Chapter 234:
“I'm relieved to hear that. I, too, prefer that my wealth doesn’t entangle with my future partner. Genuine
relationships shouldn't sprout from personal gain.”
Just a moment before, Alexander was brimming with vigor. Now, his face registered shock, as if struck by
lightning. He questioned his own ears, wondering if they had deceived him.
Attempting a smile, he managed only a tense grimace, his eyes locked on Daniela’s.
“What did you just say?”
Daniela declared with a smile, “I've made my stance clear. | don’t like entangling emotions with interests.
Imagine us, intertwined as lovers and yet adversaries in business, whispering endearments in solitude and
clashing vehemently at work—it would just ripapart.” Her smile was there, yet her eyes betrayed no trace of
warmth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith an almost mocking sweetness, she glanced at Alexander.
“I yearn for a relationship that remains untainted. Is that too much to hope for?”
Her question, profound and stirring, left Alexander utterly speechless. He stood, bewildered, realizing for the first
tthe depth of Daniela’s reservations. Could it really be that she harbored such thoughts? Nearby, Cedric was
rooted to the spot, equally taken aback by the revelation.
Alexander, though hesitant, wasn’t ready to let go. Everything had been aligning perfectly; how could it crumble
so unexpectedly? Struggling to keep his voice steady, he questioned, “So, what you're saying is, if | want a
chance with you, | need to stay away from the project of the South and East Districts?”
Daniela nodded, her smile turning cunning.
“Yes, and it's not limited to that. Any endeavor tied to Elite Lux is off-limits for Bennett Group. Moreover, should
there be any competition between us, you must quit. After all, if you're pursuing me, competing againstfor
projects wouldn't be proper, would it? But let's be honest—even if you did try to compete, you wouldn't stand a
chance. | prefer to state this upfront to spare you any embarrassment.”

Daniela leaned forward slightly and explained, “Elite Lux has scaled back its ventures recently, focusing only on
luxury goods, construction, education, tourism, aerospace, and a bit of high-tech involvement.”
Alexander's eyes widened, a clear sign of his astonishment.
“Doesn't that complicate matters for me? So, are you saying | should just shut down Bennett Group entirely?”
“Absolutely,” Daniela replied, her grin brimming with cheerfulness.
“Didn’t my parents do just that back in their day? It was quite the role reversal. Ultimately, they still had me.”
Daniela’s gaze turned distant, tinged with nostalgia.
“That way, a man is less likely to wander. How perfect! I've always yearned for that kind of life. | vowed when |
was little that if a man ever cooked for me, I'd marry him right away!”
Her heart swirled with sarcasm, yet her expression remained utterly sincere. Her eyes sparkled with a glimmer of
hope as she pressed on.
“Do you think you can handle that, Alexander?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlexander felt a pang of despair.
“Wouldn't that reduceto a man who lives off a woman? In our circles, that’s just pathetic.”
“Is that so? A man who would go to such lengths for love is truly praiseworthy, isn’t it? That's exactly the kind of
devotion I'm looking for!” Daniela exclaimed with conviction.
Alexander's chuckle was hollow, devoid of real amusement.
