Chapter 253
Chapter 253:
In their eyes, Daniela had always been overshadowed by her infatuation with Alexander, appearing more as an
obsessive admirer than a formidable professional. This underestimation proved costly. Their sloppy execution led
to the project failing three consecutive inspections, resulting in an abrupt and humiliating cancellation.
Mortified by the debacle, they opted against reporting the fiasco up the chain, presuming it to be a minor blip
unlikely to stir significant repercussions given Daniela’s past relationship with Alexander. However, when
Alexander brought it up today, it was clear the incident had not faded into obscurity as they had hoped. Caught
off-guard, they scrambled to piece together their recollections of the events.
As Richard absorbed their explanations, his expression turned thunderous. Still weak from his recent ailment, the
fury coursing through him nearly sent him spiraling into unconsciousness once more.

“Our performance has been impeccable! Mr. Bennett, we've mastered this craft over the years. How could we
possibly falter on such a basic task? Yet, Cedric scrutinized every minute aspect. We had adhered strictly to his
directives, but he still refused to approve our inspections. It’s as though he has it out for us. He even proclaimed,
‘Not even your boss can sway my decision!” Can you believe that?”
With his temper flaring, Richard demanded through gritted teeth, “He really said those words?”
The manager paused, a flicker of guilt crossing his features, but he soon affirmed with a decisive nod.
“Absolutely! That's precisely what he said. He's being a pain in the ass just because he’s got a thing for Ms.
Harper. What other stupid reason could there be? It’s likely eating him alive to see her giving Bennett Group any
attention. And now, because of this debacle, there's no chance for Bennett Group and Elite Lux to join forces on
any ventures in the future. It's exactly what he desired!”

“That's fucking ridiculous!” Richard, overwhelmed by indignation, slammed his hand against the bed frame.
“Cedric has crossed the line!”
He flung aside the bed covers, resolved to rise, but Alexander restrained him, his expression somber.
“Dad, leave this to me.”
As the project managers made their way out of the hospital room, one asked, “You really think this is going to
work?”
“Shut the hell up and just keep going!”
After all, Bennett Group wasn’t stupid enough to challenge Cedric head-on. Pinning the blon him was far
more convenient.
Richard, his emotions simmering, confronted Alexander.
“We can recover lost money, but Daniela is irreplaceable. If you have any courage as a man, you'll fight to win
her back.” Gritting his teeth, Alexander stormed out, his mind set on confrontation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis first destination was Phillips Group, but Cedric was nowhere to be found. Next, he rushed to the bustling
construction site, only to discover Cedric had just departed. Growing more agitated, Alexander headed straight
for Daniela’s place.
There, he saw Lillian engaged in conversation with Cedric. With a thunderous expression, Alexander approached
and pointed accusingly at Lillian.
“Stay out of this, Lillian. Cedric, we need to talk—now!”
