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

Chapter 941:

Anger surged through Alexander, his hands balling into fists so tightly that his nails nearly pierced the skin. He wanted nothing more than for Cedric to be gone—permanently.

Once Cedric was out of the picture, there would be no one else—just him!

He was even prepared to sacrifice everything for Daniela—if only she would return his feelings.

At dusk, Alexander’s face bore an expression of grim determination.

The next morning, Alexander arrived at the designated meeting spot for his appointment with the eight members of the commerce association.

A partition separated them—Alexander on one side, and the group of eight on the other.

Hackett peeked over repeatedly, puzzled by Alexander’s behavior.

Weren’t they here to discuss matters?

How could any meaningful conversation happen with such a barrier in place? The group exchanged confused glances, shrugging at Alexander’s strange conduct.

With Daniela, at least they had been able to see her face. Was Alexander trying to outdo her in aloofness?

“Forgive me. I’ve been feeling unwell recently and prefer not to be seen. Please, just speak freely,” Alexander said firmly.

Hackett and the others weren’t concerned with his lack of visibility; the business at hand was what mattered.

They settled into their chairs.

Winslow glanced at the partition, a familiar sensation returning. “Alexander, we propose to nominate you as the president of our association.”

Alexander’s response was cold. “And what do I gain from accepting?”

Just as Hackett opened his mouth to speak, Alexander preempted him, his voice dripping with disdain. “Merely a title? And you expect me to lead your battles? Do you truly think I’m that naive?”noveldrama

Bruno’s expression darkened, his forehead creased with a mixture of anger and disbelief. “Alexander, how can you speak like this? Have you forgotten that your rise was made possible only because of the doors we unlocked for you? How can you be so blatantly ungrateful?”

A sardonic laugh escaped Alexander’s lips. “Oh, really? Doors you claim to have opened? Let’s be clear—wasn’t it because you failed to stand up to Daniela, ended up financially shackled, and couldn’t pursue other interests that I was able to seize the opportunities you missed?”

Bruno’s response caught in his throat, his cheeks flushing with suppressed fury as he struggled to articulate his frustration.

Huey narrowed his eyes slightly. “Alexander, do you remember when you were eager to join our association? I brought you in. Despite the unfavorable outcome, I always treated you fairly, didn’t I?”

Alexander nodded. “Indeed, you did. But let’s not forget the outrageous fifty million you charged for that introduction, promising me a lucrative position within the association. And what happened? My money evaporated, and the promised membership turned to dust. I was excluded during the profitable times, and now I certainly have no intention of sharing in the losses.”

As Alexander’s words hung in the air, the tension in the room became palpable. One by one, everyone stood, their bodies rigid with indignation.

“Alexander, curb your arrogance!” Marcus exploded, his voice resonating with fury.
