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

Chapter 1224:

The atmosphere suddenly intensified.

Nikolas stared at the beef before him, a chill creeping over him.

“Daniela! What’s the meaning of this? I invited you for a meal, and this is what you’re trying to do?” Nikolas was so enraged that veins popped on his forehead, his face flushing red.

“I mean nothing,” Daniela replied with a slight smile. “What? Is the beef inedible? Or why else would you be so upset?”

Nikolas clenched his jaw again.

Daniela met his gaze and asked, “So, is this beef edible?”

She had backed Nikolas into a corner. If he didn’t eat the beef, he’d look guilty. But if he did…

There was a laxative in that dish, and if he dared to eat more than a few bites, he’d be stuck in the bathroom all night.

Nikolas took a deep breath, annoyed and relieved at the same time. Well, at least it was just a laxative.

Nikolas forced himself to eat the beef.

Daniela smirked and turned to Richard, who calmly followed suit, taking a bite of beef as well.

Nikolas, struggling to keep his cool, cleared his throat. “Alright, Daniela, we’ve eaten. Now you…”

Daniela nodded with a smile. “Of course we’ll eat! You’ve been such a generous host, and we wouldn’t want to disappoint you.”

Nikolas was overjoyed. Fortunately, he had secretly brought antidiarrheal pills with him.

He felt lucky to have come prepared. Otherwise, Daniela would have outsmarted him.

“Then, feel free to eat whatever you like,” Nikolas said before stepping out to make a call.

“Kohen, everything’s going smoothly. Once the laxative kicks in, we’ll move them to the rooftop and toss them off. We’ll say they jumped off the building.”

That way, they wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.

Kohen replied, “Okay. In thirty minutes, Charles and I will storm in with a team. Cedric and Daniela must die.”

Nikolas narrowed his eyes, a grin tugging at his lips. “Alright.”noveldrama

After finishing his call, Nikolas returned to the room, feeling quite pleased with himself.

But the moment he stepped inside, he noticed Richard’s grim face.

Nikolas glanced at the table and noticed a few new dishes, while the food he had ordered had been pushed aside.

Carol was digging into a plate of stir-fried lobster.

Nikolas was surprised.

Daniela wasn’t playing by the usual rules.

Nikolas demanded, “What do you mean, Daniela? Do you think the dishes I ordered aren’t good?”
