Chapter 239:
But she breezed right past him without a sideways glance, her entourage of mall staff in tow, rendering him, her
former father-in-law, utterly invisible.
A shadow of displeasure crossed Richard's face instantly.
Was Daniela considering a reconciliation with Alexander? It seemed quite the opposite; she appeared to want
nothing to do with him.
Yet, Richard couldn’t help but ponder—if Alexander were to marry into the Harper family, he’d becone of
them. How would he maintain his pride when interacting with Daniela? Would he be forced to greet her with a
smile only to be snubbed?
This thought sent a shiver through Richard, hastening his steps toward home.
Meanwhile, Daniela continued her tour of the store. Lillian cast a glance her way, curiosity tinging her voice.

“Yeah,” Daniela responded with a dismissive shrug. Lillian nodded, a trace of relief in her tone.
“Looks like you've finally snapped out of that obsession.”
She had feared Daniela might approach Richard, addressing him with undue reverence. The mere thought had
left her anxious.
With a light chuckle, Daniela brushed off the concern.
Lillian pressed on, her voice laced with intrigue.

“If Alexander sacrifices his dignity and chooses to be with you, would you truly accept him?”
As Daniela surveyed the store, she shook her head and declared, “No.”
Lillian turned to her with a puzzled look.
“Why not?”
Daniela responded, “Alexander will never relinquish control of Bennett Group. His pride wouldn't allow it. He
can’t stand the thought of the gossip that would follow if he married into another family to save face. His pride,
believe it or not, outweighs his own interests. Even if he were to agree, it'd be because he harbors shope
that I'd pass away soon, allowing him to inherit everything. If he doesn’t marry me, he gains nothing from the
deal. He's not the type to take such a risk.”
Over the years, Daniela had pieced together the essence of Alexander’s character. She recognized his egotism,
his aloofness, and the way he masqueraded as a man of virtue while his actions were guided solely by self-
interest. He was a master at playing the part of the stoic, immovable hero.
“Just you wait,” Daniela asserted with a hint of certainty.
“Alexander will most certainly make an appearance at the bidding.”
On the day of the bidding, as Daniela and Lillian entered the venue, there was no sign of Alexander yet.
However, Cedric was unexpectedly present.
Raising an eyebrow, Lillian queried, “I thought you were determined to stay out of this?”
The last tDaniela had paid him for the project, Cedric had been visibly mortified for days.

Daniela.
“Leave it to me, Daniela. I'll supervise for free. | do have the experience, after all.”
Daniela shot back, “Cedric, is watching others get rich your weird little kink? | offered you this job once, and you
declined. Now you show up offering to supervise for free? What are you playing at?”
With a warm smile, Cedric extended a thermos towards Daniela.
