Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 771:

At the elevator, he asked Ryan, “Explain what happened.”

With his usual honesty, Ryan answered, “There was a malfunction. The elevator stalled on the 25th floor. During the fix, it dropped. Daniela had to act fast to avoid worse harm and ended up injuring her hand.”

Cedric wasted no time and made an urgent call. “Summon our elevator safety team, the manufacturers, and the designers to Elite Lux immediately!”

Within minutes, the designers, manufacturers, repair crew, and safety team all gathered in the same place.

They carefully examined every part of the elevator, both inside and out, until a glinting silver screw was finally handed to Cedric. His gaze intensified, and his presence became more daunting.

Stepping outside, he made another decisive call. “No matter the expense, I want to know who compromised my wife’s company’s safety.”

Natalie approached, hoping to console Cedric.

Yet, she remained unnoticed, her presence overshadowed by his stern demeanor. He seemed so fierce that one might think he harbored violent intentions.

Previously, Natalie suspected Cedric’s affection was motivated by Daniela’s wealth and prestige.

However, witnessing his profound concern today, she reconsidered; perhaps Elyse had been correct.

Cedric’s love for Daniela was genuine.

Following the incident, the Elite Lux building saw a significant security overhaul.

Cedric set aside all his tasks. Monitoring the comings and goings at the building was his only concern.

Lillian expressed her concern. “Daniela, isn’t Cedric taking this too far? You’ve dealt with far worse before.”

Daniela, sharing her frustration, gently pulled Cedric to one side.

As she adjusted his tousled collar, she said, “Cedric, this might be nothing more than an accident. Please, can you try not to worry so much?”

Cedric’s anger erupted suddenly. “You’re not being truthful with me! Daniela, do you think I’m naive? You used yourself as bait, and you expect me not to notice? Do you really believe I’m that ignorant?”

Daniela sighed. “I assure you, I won’t endanger myself again.”

Cedric stood in disbelief, unable to accept the thought of watching Daniela suffer once more.

It was too much for him to endure.

Daniela knew convincing Cedric during his stubborn moments was useless; it would only escalate to more disputes.

Left with no alternative, Daniela agreed.

As Daniela ascended the stairs, Natalie approached with a coffee in hand. “Daniela doesn’t see how much you care. It’s sad, really. She’s ungrateful, and you deserve better. You…”

Natalie’s sentence was cut short by Cedric’s cold stare. His voice low and filled with barely contained fury, he asked sharply, “Whom are you calling ungrateful?”

Natalie was taken aback by his response.noveldrama
