Chapter 247:
“Try it one more time,” Richard suggested, his tone carrying a subtle edge of expectation.
“Do you realize why Daniela managed to accomplish so much? Back in the day, when she pursued you, she was
unconcerned about appearances. Regardless of the gossip or judgment, she never allowed it to deter her. Reflect
on her past actions toward you. Isn't there a lesson to be learned from her perseverance? And consider this—
perhaps Daniela is putting you through a test. With her newfound wealth, it’s natural for her to be more guarded.
Can't you see that?”
The cold detachment in Alexander's face slowly gave way to something softer. His gaze turned to Richard, a brief
pause hanging in the air before he finally asked, “Really?”
Richard, although thrilled by the conversation, managed to maintain a composed demeanor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe nodded solemnly and responded, “Absolutely. And it's not just me—others are saying the same. Just the other
day, a friend of mine mentioned that Daniela, now positioned quite high up, might be using these tactics to test
people’s true intentions. He even askedto pass on a message: don’t get discouraged.”
Richard, having played the role of Alexander's father for so many years, was well aware of his son’s Achilles’ heel
—his pride. To Alexander, his self-esteem was paramount, overshadowing all else.
The deliberate choice of Richard's words seemed to unravel Alexander's pent-up frustration. Rooted to the spot,
Alexander clenched his fists tightly, then slowly uncurled them.
“Alright. Ill give it another try.” A flicker of relief passed through Richard's eyes.

Alexander's demeanor stiffened abruptly, his voice sharpening as he went on, “If Daniela still doesn’t give a
damn about my efforts, then screw her—I won't hold back anymore!”
Richard responded, “Don’t worry. After the distance you've put between you and Daniela, she’s bound to have
noticed that she upset you last time. Plus, we secured that small bid, right? There's a project progress meeting
this afternoon. It's not really tied to us, but you should go anyway. It's the perfect opportunity to see Daniela and
break the awkward tension.”
Pausing for a moment, Richard nervously rubbed his nose. If Alexander delayed any longer, Daniela might erase
him from her thoughts completely. With her wealth at her disposal, she had the freedom to choose from a wide
array of suitors—kind-hearted, passionate, and untamed alike. She truly had the world at her feet. If Alexander
didn’t take action, he would be forgotten by her.
As Alexander headed upstairs to choose a suit, Richard let out a sigh of relief. His attention then turned to his
buzzing phone. Katrina's nlit up the screen. Without a second thought, he swiped to decline the call.
What a load of crap! Joyce was a complete wreck, yet Katrina still dared to consider marrying her to Alexander?
Utterly pathetic!
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Katrina let out a laugh tinged with disbelief as her call was dismissed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Really? What's so terrible about the Bennett family now? Oh, so I'm the one groveling to them now, is that it?”
Caiden, seated beside her, didn’t look up from his phone, absorbed in the latest financial headlines.
The growth of Elite Lux in recent months had been impressive, and Caiden found comfort in the figures dancing
on his screen. Right now, nothing else was of consequence. His primary concern was preserving the Harper
family fortune, ensuring Katrina didn't fritter it away as Joyce's wedding gift.
By maintaining control over their assets, he could secure a future where Daniela, endowed with wealth, would
ensure his comfort in his later years.
