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

Chapter 944:

She decided to leave it be for now. A man’s pride had to be respected.

Since Cedric didn’t want her interfering in Phillips Group’s affairs, she continued to target the association. Hackett was next.

That night, Hackett and his group sat drinking, basking in their supposed victory. Soon, Cedric would surrender, and they could negotiate with Daniela on their terms.

Bruno exhaled in relief. “For a second, I thought we were actually done for.”

Huey wiped the sweat from his forehead. “No kidding. That was brutal. If there’s one lesson here, it’s that Daniela is not someone to cross.”

Marcus gave a knowing nod. “True, but luckily, Cedric is her Achilles’ heel. Without him, she’d never back down.”

Tripp scowled, swirling his glass. “Even so, we took a massive hit. Next time, the membership threshold needs to be raised. We need to recover those losses.”

Bruno sneered. “Daniela should be the one paying for it! Who does she think she is, acting so high and mighty? At the end of the day, she’s just a woman. If I get the chance, I’ll make her regret ever challenging me.”

Huey nodded, his voice dripping with disdain. “She thinks she can avenge her mother’s death? She should’ve died with her! The moment we get the chance, we’ll make sure she’s out of the picture for good!”

Hackett’s expression darkened at those words. “You’re underestimating her. Daniela has some serious connections. Plenty of people want her gone, yet she’s still standing. That should tell you she’s not as easy to take down as you think.”

Huey scoffed, rolling his eyes. “Connections? So what? At the end of the day, she’s just one person. No matter how powerful she is, when it’s her turn to die, she’ll beg for mercy like everyone else.”

Laughter erupted around the table, their voices brimming with arrogance.

Just then, Hackett’s phone rang. Still smirking, he answered, leaning back in his chair. “What is it?”

The others watched as his confident grin slowly stiffened. Then, in an instant, it vanished, replaced by pure terror. “Did you just say…?”

As Hackett’s shaking voice filled the air, the rest of their phones started buzzing with notifications. One after another.

The breaking news alert flashed across their screens, the headlines bold and damning:

“Scandal of Women Abuse at Graves Group!”

“Hackett’s Three Daughters Are Adopted!”

“Graves Group’s Charity for Poor Girls Was a Front for Grooming Them for Future Gains.”

“Shocking! The Collapse of Graves Group’s Public Image!”

Hackett’s fingers shook as he clicked on the first article, dread tightening in his chest.

A recording of Hackett’s conversation with Cedric in the study had gone viral.

In the audio, his voice rang out clearly. “As part of the deal, my three daughters will be at your disposal.”

“Women are worthless by nature—you can’t let them think they’re special. Keep them locked away, cut off from the world, make them need you for everything. That way…”noveldrama

“You can do whatever you please.” Hackett’s words played from the phone, his tone cold and calculated.

The other seven people present stared at Hackett in shock.
