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

Chapter 890:

Before leaving, Hackett handed Richard a list of the gathering’s attendees.

“Richard, my friend, here’s the list of companies attending the gathering. Have a look, and if there’s anyone else you’d like to bring, just say the word—I’ll handle the details.”

With a smile that didn’t falter, Hackett made his departure. Richard escorted him to the door.

As Hackett got into the car, Richard’s face contorted with disdain. He spat in the direction of the car, ensuring the sound was loud and clear. Hackett turned, still smiling, and gave Richard a parting wave before sliding into the car.

Richard stood there, wondering if Hackett had failed to hear him or if the man was just impossibly composed. How was Hackett managing to remain so unfazed?

Behind him, a secretary hesitated before voicing her concerns. “Mr. Bennett, isn’t it unwise to antagonize Mr. Perry in such a manner?”

Richard responded with a sneer. “What’s the risk?” He glanced nonchalantly at the list Hackett had passed him earlier. “Granted, the names here represent some of the giants in the industry, but that’s simply the nature of the business world. When you’re on the rise, everyone is your ally. They’re only showing up now to cling to my success and beg for Daniela’s mercy. Otherwise, do you really think they’d spare me a second glance? I haven’t lost touch with reality. In this arena, friendships are fleeting, interests are eternal. As long as I’m an asset to…”noveldrama

“Earning money is difficult, but swallowing one’s pride is even harder,” Richard remarked, his voice laced with a mixture of amusement and disdain. “All those high-flying big shots you see are nothing more than puppets dancing in the shadows.”

The secretary raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his words. “Yet, I’ve never seen Ms. Harper bow to anyone.”

Richard’s expression softened at the mention of Daniela. “That’s because Daniela is one of a kind. She has an innate gift. Ever perceptive, just like her mother, with that sharp intellect. The Bennett family has weathered countless storms, all thanks to her resilience. In terms of business acumen, she outshines even Alexander. Were she not a woman, suitors from all over the world would be clamoring for her attention.”

He chuckled, a playful gleam in his eyes. “Fortunately for Alexander, she is a woman—his perfect match. Initially, Alexander didn’t recognize her worth, but given a second chance, they are destined for a blissful union.”

However, the secretary furrowed his brow in skepticism. “Considering Ms. Harper is already married, is it plausible she would leave Cedric for Alexander?”

Richard responded with certainty. “Without a doubt, she will. How long has Daniela been with Cedric? She’s known Alexander for ten years. Of course, Alexander is the better match for her.”

The secretary had a different opinion. He believed that relationships weren’t measured by time, but by the depth of understanding between people. Yet, he didn’t have the courage to voice his disagreement.

Instead, he subtly inquired, “Mr. Bennett, do you plan to attend the upcoming gathering?”

Richard casually tossed the association’s badge into a drawer. “Naturally, I’ll be there. Why would I miss out? It will be quite the spectacle, watching those once-arrogant giants get put in their place by Daniela’s success. Just thinking about it brings a smirk to my face.”

The National Commerce Association was a treasure trove of market trends. Being involved was clearly advantageous.
