Chapter 235
Chapter 235:
“You never expected this frombefore.” Alexander was not ready to surrender. He gazed up at the imposing
structure before him. Its majesty and grandeur were undeniable.
“1 did before,” Daniela lied.
“It’s just that we hadn’t reached this point back then.” Alexander was taken back. Daniela went on,
“Moreover, I've secured my assets with legal ties. If something were to happen toin the future, | could leave
you one percent of my assets. That's hardly insignificant; that one percent could be worth over a billion.”
Alexander found himself at a loss for words. Legal ties? But Daniela appeared in perfect health. When would she
even need such provisions?
Seeing the shock on Alexander's face, Daniela’s smile was tinged with irony.
“This is a serious discussion. Why not go hand talk it over with your father? | can wait.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe offered one last piece of advice with feigned kindness.
“I'm tied up these days. If you agree, you won't need to attend Elite Lux’s bid the day after tomorrow. Well, that’s
all. I'm off to bed.”
With that, Daniela turned on her heel, leaving Alexander no chance to reply as she strode away with an air of
triumph.
Alexander remained, filled with suspicion that Daniela might be messing around with him, yet he didn’t have
proof.
Ryan and Lillian observed as Alexander's emotions surged and plummeted tically, much like a
rollercoaster—an amusing spectacle to them.
Cedric’s brow furrowed deeply, his face etched with a somber expression as he trailed behind Daniela into the
room. While he maintained a stoic exterior, the storm raging within him mirrored Alexander's own distress. Had
he been aware beforehand, he would have steered clear of any involvement with Elite Lux’s ventures.
The idea of being a stay-at-hhusband, once a concept he dismissed with a scoff, now seemed an
unattainable dream. Taking a deep breath to ease the constriction in his chest, Cedric felt a mixture of frustration
and despair after dropping Daniela off at her house.
As she began to close the door, Cedric placed his hand against it, halting its movement. Daniela gazed at Cedric,
her expression filled with bewilderment.
“What's the matter?”
Cedric implored, “Daniela, listen—I was involved in the North District project, but I'm not the legal
representative. I'm not profiting from it. To date, | haven't received a dime. We're doing this as a pro bono
endeavor, purely out of goodwill. Is that something you can accept?”
Daniela blinked, taken aback.
“Didn’t | tell you that the profits would be calculated and distributed to everyone eventually?”
“No, that’s not it at all!”
“What?” Daniela’s face clouded with confusion.
“It's purely a pro bono endeavor. Honestly, we're not after any profit at all! And the project in the South and East
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDistricts? It's entirely for charity too! Our company aims to bolster its image by engaging in these community
service projects. Let's make this clear; please, | insist, no money!”
Cedric walked away, a throbbing headache beginning to form. Phillips Group was rolling in wealth. How on earth
was he meant to spend all this cash? And if he handed it all over to Daniela, would she even take it?
As the elevator doors slid open, Lillian and Ryan emerged.
