Chapter 264:
Suddenly, a deep, steady male voice broke the silence in the room.
“That's enough.”
Daniela stopped mid-motion, lowering her pen. Without a second look at Alexander, she shut the checkbook and
slid it back into the drawer.
“What? Who's speaking?” Alexander instantly tensed, his eyes darting across the room.
Before he could ask any more questions, a knock echoed at the door. The door opened, and Elite Lux’s attorney
entered, holding a small recorder in his hand. Without a word, the attorney pressed play. Alexander's voice
blared out, loud and unmistakable, demanding three hundred million from Daniela.
The attorney’s voice remained composed but carried a sharp edge.
“Mr. Bennett, | strongly advise you to leave right now. Given the sum you just demanded from Ms. Harper, this is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnothing short of extortion. If you continue down this path, | assure you, the rest of your life will be spent behind
bars. Moreover, should you ever make any public remarks or take any actions that tarnish the reputations of Ms.
Harper or Mr. Phillips, we will pursue legal action with every tool at our disposal. | suggest you consider your next
move very carefully.”
Alexander stood frozen, his mind reeling from the unexpected twist. He turned to Daniela with disbelief written
all over his face.
“You setup?”
All the words she had spoken earlier? They hadn't been an attempt to negotiate. They had been bait—and he
had walked right into the trap.

Alexander's chest constricted, the weight of realization crashing down on him like a sledgehammer.
He had chere today, swallowing his pride, hoping for one last chance to make things right. He was
convinced that Daniela still cared and that they could work things out. But she had turned her back on him—
coldly, without hesitation—all for Cedric.
“Fine!” Alexander spat, his voice shaking with both fury and heartbreak.
“Call the police! Do it! Go ahead!”
The attorney turned to Daniela, awaiting her instruction. Without lifting her gaze, Daniela opened her drawer,
took out her phone, and dialed it right in front of Alexander.
The moment the call connected, Alexander's resolve shattered. His fists clenched, his voice trembling as he
muttered, “Fine! You win!”
Daniela hung up the phone.
Alexander gasped for air, his hand pressing against his chest as he staggered back.
“Daniela, they always say when a woman stops loving a man, there’s no going back. | used to believe you were
different. | thought you weren't like those cold, shallow women. But | was wrong.
You're just like them. No.
You're worse. It’s not you walking away from me, Daniela. It'swalking away from you!”

who had been betrayed.
Alexander finished his outburst, his anger spent, but he didn’t move. He remained rooted to the spot, staring at
Daniela as if silently daring her to respond, giving them both one final chance.
Daniela slowly raised her gaze, her tone steady.
“Alexander, | never really blamed you.”
