Chapter 140:
Alexander shot her a cold, hard stare, taking in her stunned, unmoving face before turning away without a word.
Daniela stood frozen, fighting to hold herself together. But Alexander's words kept ringing in her ears, shattering
her composure. Her body started to shake. Ten years. How many decades did a person truly get in a lifetime?
For ten long years, she had loved Alexander completely, admired him, stood by him, and given up so much for
him. And now, he wanted her to hand over the North District project as a mere trade.
Was this really about the project?
To Alexander, their childhood bond was nothing more than another deal.
Daniela felt empty, the weight of it all crashing down. What had she been clinging to all this time?
Her love, her loyalty, all the compromises she’d made—they meant nothing.

Lillian paused, uncertain, but then nodded for the security guards to go. She stayed at the building's entrance,
her gaze remaining locked on Daniela.
It was the usual morning rush, with employees coming and going. As they spotted Daniela, many of them
instinctively slowed, ready to offer a greeting. But before they could speak, Lillian subtly shook her head,
signaling them to move on.
In an instant, the usually lively entrance fell into an unexpected silence. Only when Daniela finally managed to
straighten up did Lillian hurry over. She took Daniela’s arm, her voice low and filled with concern.
“Are you okay?”
Just as Daniela was about to nod, beads of sweat clung to her pale face, finally slipping down her skin. She spun
around and hurried towards the restroom, barely making it before she was seized by a violent wave of nausea.

face. She leaned casually against the doorframe, listening to the sounds of retching from the stall.
“Daniela, throwing up this much so early? Don’t tellyou're pregnant.”
