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

Chapter 1230:

Richard nearly cried out in alarm. “Alexander! Daniela’s trying to kill us!”

Alexander’s face grew grim.

Richard’s eyes burned red with exhaustion and pain. “I’m an old man now. Maybe I made mistakes, but did she really have to be that cold? Daniela doesn’t care about you or the Bennett family. And you’re still planning to spare her? All we did was invite her for a simple meal, and she laced the food with drugs. Alexander, a woman that ruthless has no place in our family. She doesn’t belong with us…”

Richard’s voice quivered, his face drained of color.

Nikolas, frail and weak, slowly opened his eyes. After a long silence, he said weakly, “Alexander, she hurt your father, and you’re just standing by? All we wanted was a calm, honest conversation with Daniela. How could she be so heartless as to drug us? I just don’t get it. Weren’t you two close for years? How could she treat your father like this?”

Alexander, I feel sorry for you. Daniela doesn’t care about you at all, yet you’re still considering her? It’s ridiculous!”

Richard grabbed Alexander’s sleeve, his voice thick with emotion. “Alexander, are you really going to wait until I’m gone? Daniela is heartless!”

Nikolas nodded quickly, his tone sharp. “Alexander, if you’re a man, you’ll defend your father’s honor!”

Alexander clenched his teeth in anger. He shot a furious glare at Nikolas. “If it weren’t for you, my father would never have crossed Daniela! You knew she was dangerous, so why didn’t you think twice before pushing her?”

Kohen, overhearing this, couldn’t hide his displeasure. He propped himself up with effort, his voice laced with frustration. “Alexander, that’s not fair. Your family has gained so much from us lately. You’ve become the richest in the country. Don’t you think you owe us something in return? We’re not obligated to make you our ally. Our family’s resources aren’t just for you. You can’t expect benefits without offering anything in return!”

Kohen’s voice turned icy. “We can make you the wealthiest, or we could elevate someone else to that position. Do you believe that?”

The tension in the hospital room grew unbearable.

Sensing the escalating conflict, Richard quickly intervened. “Come on now! What are we doing? Let’s not get worked up.”

Richard turned his gaze to Alexander, his tone bitter. “Alexander, whether we provoked Daniela or not, she never planned on sparing me. She doesn’t care about the Bennett family. How much more are you willing to lose for her?”

Richard’s eyes were bloodshot, his voice trembling. “Alexander, you can’t keep letting your past with Daniela hold you back. She’s long moved on, leaving you behind. Are you really going to stay where you are?”

Richard’s words clung to Alexander’s thoughts like a haunting refrain.

Without saying a word, he turned and marched out, purpose in his step.

Richard called after him, raising his voice. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“I’m going to talk to Daniela!” Alexander replied.

Nikolas scoffed. “Richard, your son’s a hopeless romantic. Even now, he can’t seem to let go.”

Kohen chimed in, “He’s lost it. If it doesn’t work, let’s just work with someone else.”
