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

Chapter 1212:

Could she die?

Yes!

The very next day, Nikolas visited Richard.

“What?” Richard’s eyes grew wide, his body jerking upright in disbelief. “Kill Daniela?”

Nikolas took a sip of his coffee and asked, “Are you afraid?”

Richard nodded slowly, his voice edged with hesitation. “I am.”

Nikolas almost choked on his coffee, his voice laced with disdain. “Coward!”

“The Bennett family is known for its integrity. We don’t resort to murder,” Richard shot back, his pride flaring.

Nikolas sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Really? Is it that you don’t engage in such acts, or is it because the benefits involved are not enough? Richard, as long as Daniela draws breath, Alexander will remain nothing more than a laughingstock. You know this, don’t you? You must also realize that she will never marry Alexander. If she remembers the past and aligns herself with Cedric, do you honestly think you’ll be able to live the good life in Olisvine?”

Nikolas watched as Richard lowered his head.noveldrama

A deep satisfaction bloomed in Nikolas, like a flower thriving in dark soil.

He adjusted his clothes, smirking as he spoke. “Even when Alexander had surgery to resemble Cedric, Daniela never loved him. Do you think she’ll suddenly fall for him now, when he’s so ordinary?”

Richard hastily replied, “But Cedric’s leg…”

Nikolas let out a hearty laugh. “It’s just his leg, not his dick.”

Richard’s face drained of color, his resolve weakening.

“Richard, if I could handle this alone, I wouldn’t need your help. You’ve got connections with Daniela. She’ll sit down for a meal with you. If you kill her, you free Alexander from his miserable unrequited love, and he’ll rise to unmatched success.”

Richard’s resistance wavered, the temptation sinking in like a hook in his flesh. “What’s in it for me?”

Nikolas smiled knowingly, as if he had foreseen this very question coming.

No one could resist the pull of profit, except for that naive fool Cedric! Nikolas almost choked once more. He fixed his gaze on Richard and said, “If you kill Daniela, I’ll make Bennett Group the nation’s top company.”

Richard gritted his teeth, the urge to agree gnawing at him. Yet after a long pause, he murmured, “I need to think it over.”

Nikolas didn’t linger any longer. He stood, eyes sharp. “Is that so? Think it over. Opportunities like this don’t come often.”

Richard nodded, escorting Nikolas out the door.

In the car, Kohen, his eyes focused on the road ahead, asked, “Do you think it will work? Will Richard agree?”

Nikolas exuded confidence. “While I was discussing how to make Bennett Group the nation’s top company, Richard was already plotting to remove Daniela and take her place. When wealth this massive is on the line, who wouldn’t be tempted?”

Kohen, his hands steady on the wheel, responded with calm certainty, “Cedric wouldn’t!”
