Chapter 261:
“Who the hell are you?”
Just as Alexander was about to shout in pain, her question struck him silent. He struggled to shape his face into
an expression of sorrow, hoping to appear pitiful enough to win her sympathy, but no matter how hard he tried,
his efforts fell flat.
To Daniela, the figure standing before her was hardly recognizable. His face was a grotesque mess, swollen and
bruised beyond any hope of recognition.
“Who are you?” she repeated.
Alexander pressed his hand to his bleeding nose, his voice muffled as he rasped, “It's me! Alexander!”
Daniela blinked, her face frozen in sheer disbelief. Her first instinct was to grab her phone and call the police.
After all, this disfigured man could only be here to extort her for money.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she reached for her phone, Alexander stumbled forward, clutching his nose, and shouted, “Don’t be
scared! | look like this because Cedric beatup!”
Daniela’s thoughts flashed to Cedric—the small cut she had seen earlier on the back of his hand. Slowly, she
lowered the phone.
Alexander stood there, waiting for her response, but Daniela remained silent. Finally, unable to keep his
frustration in check, he snapped, “Aren't you going to ask why Cedric hit me?”
Daniela barely hesitated before answering, “If Cedric hit you, there must've been a reason.”
Alexander froze, stunned by her response. Clenching his teeth, he hissed, “That’s not it! He...”

He wanted to shout, “Cedric likes you!” But he bit his tongue. Saying it out loud would only end up doing Cedric
a favor, and that was the last thing he wanted.
After a brief pause, he changed tactics.
“Cedric has been sabotaging Bennett Group during the project inspections. | confronted him to get answers, and
what did he do? He attacked me!”
Daniela raised an eyebrow, her expression becoming sharper.
“So, letget this straight—you actually went to confront him?”
Alexander gave a stiff nod.
“Yes.”
“And instead of answers, you ended up getting yourself beaten?”
Alexander balled his fists tightly, his tone filled with resentment.
“Yes.”
And now, you're too scared to retaliate because it might hurt your company, so you've crunning to me,
expectingto step in and handle it for you?” Daniela summarized flatly, getting straight to the point.
Alexander's chest tightened, the sting of humiliation hitting him hard. It was the painful truth, but hearing it
spelled out by Daniela, along with her icy, mocking look, only deepened his embarrassment.
“Alexander, even children understand that when you lose a fight, you own up to it. Are you seriously telling me
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou're worse than a child? Or did you chere to play the victim? Hoping I'd feel sorry for you?” Daniela’s tone
was filled with disbelief.
“Do you seriously think I'd still feel the sway about you? That I'd protect you no matter the circumstances?
Alexander, if that’s what you're counting on, then you clearly have no clue about how women think. Letbe
blunt—any woman who sees you walk in with a face like that would lose every last ounce of sympathy she
might've had.”
Daniela grabbed a mirror from her desk and held it out to him.
