Chapter 128:
Daniela stood there, cradling a wine glass. For the briefest of moments, a subtle shadow of sadness flickered
across her features, almost as if a forgotten memory had surfaced. But in the blink of an eye, it vanished,
replaced by a smile that was as smooth and practiced as ever.
“Oh really? Well, Mr. Bennett is clearly out of my league. | wouldn't dare aim so high.”
With that, she spun on her heel and walked off.
Watching her leave, Joyce felt triumphant. She slipped into the seat Keith had left and started ranting to
Alexander, whining about how Daniela had mistreated her by making her the toilet director.
As Joyce continued her chatter, Alexander's expression grew colder. His frosty demeanor made her hesitate.
After a moment, she excused herself and left.
Keith returned to his seat beside Alexander and let out a deep sigh.

you. The world has already used her feelings against her. But for you, someone she once cared about, to pile on?
That's low. And she’s a woman—women tend to be more sensitive. Maybe you should think about apologizing to
her.”
Alexander clenched his wine glass, his eyes locked on Daniela, who was now across the room laughing with
Cedric.
“Apologize? For what? | just spoke the truth. No matter how successful she gets, she can’t stop people from
saying what's true, can she?”
Keith's sigh was heavy with exasperation as he shook his head.

“Stay stubborn if that’s what you want. Let's see how long that pride of yours lasts when reality hits.”
As the gala drew to a close, Alexander couldnt help but monitor Daniela’s every move. His car followed hers,
maintaining a distance.
Inside Daniela’s vehicle, her driver peered into the rearview mirror and noted, “Ms. Harper, there's a car that’s
been tailing us since you got in.”
Daniela turned her head slightly, her piercing eyes quickly recognizing the familiar car—it was Alexander's.
Relaxing into her seat, she instructed in a steady voice, “Just ignore it.”
The two cars wove through the city streets in a quiet pursuit, finally coming to a halt outside the imposing Luxor
Tower. Just as Daniela stepped out, Alexander intercepted her.
She raised her weary eyes to meet his gaze. Despite the fatigue weighing on her, she remained poised.
“Mr. Bennett, do you need something from me?”
He tailed her car relentlessly, shadowing her all the way to the office building.
“You and Cedric are not right for each other,” he declared bluntly. Raising an eyebrow, Daniela responded, “Don’t
you have more important things to attend to?”
His lips pressed into a thin line as his eyes widened slightly, struggling to mask his disbelief.
Daniela pressed on, her tone dripping with challenge.

heard the saying, ‘The best kind of ex is one you never hear from again?”
Alexander's face grew stern, his jaw clenching with quiet intensity. The thought of her laughter mingling with
Cedric’s ignited a sharp, unbidden irritation within him.
“Alright then. If you insist on being stubborn, just remember not to ccrying towhen things go wrong.
Don’t say | didn’t warn you.”
