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

Chapter 528:

With a slight tremor in her voice, she asked, “Why are you smiling?”

Daniela leaned back into the sofa with a casual air.

“It must’ve been tough, huh? Not many people in this city can come up with that kind of money.”

Caiden glanced up at her words, his curiosity piqued.

Joyce straightened her posture and shot back, “What’s the matter? Jealous that I’ve got someone who’s got my back?”

As Joyce spoke, Cedric silently reached for Daniela’s hand, ensuring it stayed out of Joyce’s line of sight. Daniela’s smile grew wider.

“Oh, absolutely. I’m a little envious of how resourceful your mom is. She must’ve put in a lot of effort, don’t you think?”

Caiden had been quietly observing Cedric and Daniela’s secretive hand-holding, but the moment he heard Daniela speak, he turned away. Daniela continued, “Even for married couples, it’s not easy to come up with that amount of money so quickly, especially to cover an endless debt.

Your mom must’ve gone through a lot.”

Her words left both Joyce and Caiden visibly pale. While Joyce appeared uneasy, Caiden’s expression shifted to genuine fear, as if terrified that Katrina had cheated on him. Daniela watched their reactions with quiet amusement, her eyes glinting with satisfaction.

Without another word, she leaned back casually and continued scrolling through her phone, clearly entertained by the drama she’d just sparked.

Caiden shot up from his seat, his voice thunderous.

“Joyce! Tell me exactly how you managed to come up with the money to pay off your debt!” Joyce’s heart raced in panic. A hundred million was an enormous amount. She had no clue how to come up with a believable story to explain it.

The weight of the situation hit her, and she couldn’t help but regret her earlier arrogance. She should have kept her head down and stayed out of trouble.

“You’re nothing to each other anymore,” Caiden snarled.

“If I don’t want you here, you’re gone. And if Katrina has betrayed me, I’ll make sure you both pay for it!”

Caiden’s obsession with his reputation consumed him. The mere thought of his wife betraying him was intolerable. He wouldn’t stand for it—ever. The more the idea festered, the hotter his anger burned. Furious, he stormed upstairs, grabbed Joyce’s luggage, hurled it outside the villa, and tossed down a divorce agreement he’d already signed.

“Get Katrina to sign this! She leaves with nothing. This house belonged to my late wife, and it’s got nothing to do with her! Both of you, out!”

The thought of Katrina stooping so low for money only fueled Caiden’s rage further. It was well past ten o’clock, and no cabs ran through this villa district.

Joyce stood at the gates of the villa, her tears falling silently down her cheeks. The night stretched on, growing colder and darker. Shivering in the cold night air, Joyce heard the sound of the villa door opening. She turned around to find Daniela standing under the porch light, her expression unreadable.

Daniela offered, “Come inside.”

Joyce sniffled, her voice trembling.

“Are you really that nice?”

Daniela smirked. She wasn’t being kind—she simply relished the drama. Kicking Joyce out would’ve been too easy, too boring. With nowhere else to turn, Joyce reluctantly hauled her suitcase back inside the house.noveldrama

Caiden shot Joyce a furious glare before turning to Daniela.
