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

Chapter 778:

Natalie rolled her eyes dismissively. “You might as well sleep on the couch, and we’ll use your room,” she said without any embarrassment.

Nina, overwhelmed by anger, quickly moved closer and struck Natalie sharply across the face.

The abruptness of the slap left both Elyse and Natalie dumbfounded. “Out! Both of you, get out!” Nina yelled, her voice quivering with fury. “You’re just freeloaders! Worthless!”

As Elyse attempted to fight back, Josie intervened, wielding her knife, which caused Elyse to back down immediately.

“Daniela, would you really allow me and Natalie to be without a home? I’m your aunt. It would look terrible for you and Elite Lux if you turned us away,” Elyse said, her tone sweet, yet underlying it was a clear threat.

Cedric, ready to step in, paused as Daniela offered a tranquil smile. “It wouldn’t be right to leave my aunt without a place to stay. Marco.” Turning to the driver, she added, “Please take my aunt to the Grand Splendor Hotel and make sure she has everything she needs.”

With Daniela’s instructions clear, Elyse’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Known as the city’s most extravagant hotel, the Grand Splendor Hotel boasted only the most luxurious presidential suites.

Staying there, even for a night, cost fifty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars.

With a smile, Daniela inquired, “Aunt, does this arrangement meet your approval?”

Elyse responded with multiple nods, expressing her satisfaction. “Daniela, your management is impeccable.”

As they departed with Marco, Elyse cheerfully waved farewell to Daniela.

Once out of sight, Elyse asked in a dialect unfamiliar to the driver,

“When will the assassin kill Daniela?”

The driver caught a glimpse of this exchange in the rearview mirror. Elyse’s face was marked by a chilling blend of coldness and malice, her features twisted in hatred.

Turning his attention back to the road, the driver remained silent.

At the hotel, the receptionist announced, “Welcome! Your reservation is for one month. We’ll need a one million dollar deposit to proceed.”noveldrama

Shock flashed across Elyse’s and Natalie’s faces. “Deposit? For what exactly?”

Maintaining her composure, the receptionist explained, “It’s required for your stay.”

Elyse retorted, “But it was Daniela who sent us here!”

The receptionist’s smile faltered as she replied, “Regardless of who made the reservation, the payment remains your responsibility.”

“Hold on,” Natalie interjected. “Daniela directed us here, so why are we being asked to pay?”

The receptionist almost lost her professional demeanor. “The bill is yours to settle, not Ms. Harper’s. Shouldn’t you be able to cover your own expenses?”

At a loss for words, Elyse stepped outside to call Daniela.

“Isn’t the Grand Splendor Hotel owned by you, Daniela? Why are we being charged for our stay?” Elyse asked, her frustration evident after a taxing day.

“Actually, I pay for my stays too, so you’re not an exception, Aunt.”

Elyse exhaled slowly.
