Chapter 254:
Lillian’s brow furrowed, piecing together the reason behind Alexander's urgent pursuit. She internally critiqued
his character, noting how men like Alexander often shirked responsibility and pointed fingers when things fell
apart, expecting the world to revolve around them.
Pathetic losers like him did nothing but exist and piss people off.
Before she could voice her thoughts, Cedric intervened with a raised hand, silencing her. He told Lillian, “If
Daniela arrives, please tell her I'm caught up with spressing business issues but will meet up with you both
at the restaurant later.” Then, he excused himself and followed Alexander.
Alexander marched forward, his anger silent but undeniable. He made his way to the top floor of the hotel across
the street. Behind him, Cedric pulled out his phone and quickly typed a brief message, sending the location to
his assistant.
“Deliver a new shirt to this place.”

“Cedric, you've decided to take Daniela from me, haven't you?” Alexander's gaze was icy, his tone slicing
through the air, and his whole presence radiated hostility.
As the last slivers of sunlight disappeared, Alexander stood in the chilly evening wind. His hair, disheveled and
tousled by the breeze, gave him a menacing, almost sinister look. In contrast, Cedric stood composed in a crisp
white shirt and tailored trousers, his sharp features highlighted by the cool night air.
“Yes,” he responded, his voice blunt and without a second thought.
Alexander's eyes narrowed to dangerous slits, his gaze cutting through Cedric with the force of a blade.

“So, you're confessing it then? You want Daniela!”
Cedric, with his hands tucked into his pockets, met Alexander's stare with equal intensity.
“Do | really need to spell it out? Isn't it clear?”
He wasn’t a fool. If he didn’t have feelings for Daniela, why would he keep going out of his way to help her? He
wasn't sreckless playboy. If he didn’t love her, why would he keep chasing after her?
Cedric could easily defend his actions. Aside from being a little shy around Daniela, his reputation as a powerful
figure spoke for itself.
Alexander’s chest rose and fell with his mounting rage.
“So it's true.
You intentionally undermined Bennett Group during the inspections? Cedric, you're nothing but a conniving,
manipulative bastard!”
Cedric chuckled darkly, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
“Alexander, | honestly can’t fathom how someone like you managed to make it to the top in this industry. I'm not
here to teach you a lesson, nor do | owe you any kind of explanation. But letbe perfectly clear—you can kiss
any future involvement in Daniela’s projects goodbye.”
Bennett Group, with their shoddy projects that crumbled with the smallest push, had the nerve to call
themselves industry leaders?
“Cedric!” Alexander bellowed, his voice breaking under the force of his anger.
“So, you're set on opposing me, are you?” Cedric answered with cold certainty, “Yes. What are you going to do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout it?”
Alexander hadn't anticipated such a blunt and unapologetic reply. His breath quickened as his anger surged. He
was seething, completely and uncontrollably furious. But beneath the rage, an unsettling feeling began to creep
in, gnawing at him from the inside. This was Cedric—the man who, besides Daniela, ruled the city’s business
landscape without question.
Was it wise to make Cedric an enemy?
