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

Chapter 25:

Her tone grew increasingly jealous, though she seemed unaware of it.

Alexander’s features grew even more somber.

Next to him, Joyce’s jaw tightened in frustration.

“Alexander, did you see that? Daniela completely ignored you—acted like you were invisible! Remember how she used to pursue you relentlessly? Now, with her newfound status, she parades around, full of arrogance. I’d bet she hasn’t even told the CEO of Elite Lux about her divorce. The moment the CEO arrives, I’ll expose Daniela for the manipulative liar she’s always been!”

Joyce was still haunted by the humiliation from the audio and surveillance footage. Seeing Daniela not only escape the consequences but also cozy up to someone as influential as the CEO of Elite Lux was unbearable.

Her fury simmered, growing with each passing second. Daniela’s luck couldn’t last forever.

There was no way she would let this slide. This was her chance to expose Daniela’s deceit, rip away her mask, and revel in her downfall. Daniela’s fall would be her opportunity to rise, using it as a stepping stone for her own ascent.

Alexander stood there, his face a mask of neutrality, eyes fixed on some distant point.

After waiting for an hour, Joyce could no longer endure the cold silence. She shuddered, wrapping her arms around herself and huffing warm breath into her hands for warmth. Turning to Alexander with a tremor, her voice tinged with impatience, she spoke.

“Alexander, do you think the CEO of Elite Lux will actually show up? Renovating a building is no small feat. Surely, he wouldn’t entrust such an important task to Daniela. What does she even know about it?”

While speaking, Joyce took her phone out of her coat pocket and dialed a number. The call connected almost immediately, and her friend’s voice came through, laced with surprise and disbelief.

“What are you talking about? You’ve got to be kidding me. My friend in security just confirmed that the CEO of Elite Lux is in the building. Why are you still waiting out there?”

Joyce grabbed Alexander’s hand and hurried him inside. They were stopped by a vigilant security guard, but she quickly adapted, finding a hidden path through a cramped corridor used for discarding kitchen waste from the cafeteria. The pungent scent of her perfume mixed with the acrid smell of rotting garbage, creating a nauseating combination that was almost overwhelming.

With clenched fists and gritted teeth, she muttered bitterly to Alexander, “Get through this, and you’ll outshine them all!” She was fiercely determined to expose Daniela’s manipulations before the CEO of Elite Lux.

The sting of humiliation still burned brightly in her memory—the ridicule she faced when the audio and surveillance footage had been made public. But today, she was set to turn the tables.

Daniela had sold her dignity to become the CEO of Elite Lux’s mistress! Joyce was prepared to broadcast this scandal to all of Olisvine, solidifying her position as the true heiress of the Harper family.noveldrama

Driven by her vengeful plan, Joyce logged into her livestream account. As the elevator ascended to the top floor, she activated the live feed. Turning to the camera, she flashed a sweet, disarming smile.

“Hello, everyone! This is Joyce speaking. Today, something unbelievable happened—I received a call to meet up with my sister, who’s been out of touch for three months. These months without her were unbearable for my parents and me. Despite the silence from her end, our affection for her only grew. Now, hearing that she’s back in the country, I’m bursting with curiosity to find out what she’s been up to. Join me on this journey as we catch up with my beloved sister!”

Joyce expertly angled her phone to capture the intensity of her emotions.
