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

Chapter 943:

The eight of them exited the cafe.

Bruno frowned, completely perplexed. “What’s Alexander playing at? Helping us without asking for anything in return?”

Winslow spoke, arms crossed. “No way. He wants us to take down Cedric for him. He’s just making it sound like he’s doing us a favor.”

Huey turned to Hackett. “Hackett, what’s the move?”

Hackett’s expression remained cold and unreadable. “We don’t have a choice. Either we go along with this, or we wait to go bankrupt.”

A heavy silence settled over them.

Hackett’s voice hardened. “Starting tomorrow, we attack Phillips Group from all sides.”

Just before leaving, Winslow glanced back at the cafe, a nagging feeling creeping in.

That voice inside didn’t sound like Alexander. Who else could it have been? He couldn’t place it just yet.

The eight of them spent the night strategizing.

By the time the stock market opened the next morning, Phillips Group’s shares took a sharp dive.

By the day’s end, they had plunged to a historic low.

Rumors spread like wildfire.

Cedric returned to Phillips Group, working to contain the fallout.noveldrama

Daniela studied the stock chart, her gaze darkening with every dip. Lillian stood behind her, arms crossed. “They’re smarter than I gave them credit for—targeting Cedric instead.”

A heavy tension radiated from Daniela, sharper than ever before.

Even Nina, after a quick glance at her, instinctively took a step back.

Nina whispered to Lillian, “What’s wrong with Daniela?”

Lillian smirked, casting a knowing look at Daniela. “She’s pissed.” Nina rarely saw Daniela lose her temper.

In fact, she was indifferent to most things, except Cedric.

This was the first time Nina had seen her truly upset.

“So what happens now?” Nina asked, barely above a whisper.

Lillian let out a low chuckle. “Someone’s about to regret their choices.”

Nina turned to her, wide-eyed.

Traditional industries moved at a slower pace than Daniela’s company, which thrived on rapid profits. They relied on raw materials, labor, fluctuating markets, and customer demand. In short, too many variables.

The eight members of the commerce association had deep-rooted connections within the country. They leaned heavily on those ties, which kept them afloat.

For Phillips Group, the pressure mounted from every direction, with crises piling up one after another.

The association members, watching Cedric struggle, finally exhaled in relief, applauding Alexander’s cunning strategy.

That day, Hackett sent Richard a rare antique. Richard beamed with satisfaction.

Alexander was just as pleased. Once Phillips Group collapsed, Cedric would have nothing. Then, he could take Cedric’s place.

Daniela wanted to step in and help Cedric, but he insisted he could handle it. So, for the next few days, she stayed on the sidelines, watching. And just as he promised, Cedric pulled through.
