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

Chapter 739:

With a laugh, Elyse responded, “Natalie, you worry too much. How could Daniela possibly connect us to Brylee’s death? Unless Katrina comes back to life, your fears are unfounded. Daniela is just a young woman. What secrets could she possibly uncover? If she had discovered anything, could she have remained so cordial with us all this time?”

Natalie’s unease lingered, and she asked, “But what if she has found out something?”

Elyse’s look turned even more scornful.

“So what? Brylee has been dead for so long. What could Daniela do to us now? Caiden is involved as well. Now that he’s sick, she still has to ensure he receives medical care. Would Daniela really alienate us over something that happened to Brylee? If she cuts ties, she’ll end up isolated. Plus, does she have any proof linking us to Brylee’s death?”

Elyse shook her head, smiling confidently at Natalie.

“Dear, you give Daniela too much credit. She might be a competent CEO, but she’s just a woman. She’s not capable of causing us any serious trouble.”

These words somewhat calmed Natalie.

In any case, if it came down to Brylee’s death, Caiden was mainly at fault.

Caiden was Daniela’s father. Even if she was upset, would she really take extreme measures against him for someone who had passed away so long ago?

Unless she wanted the Harper family to break up completely.

As the workday drew to a close, Elyse arrived at Elite Lux.

Before she went upstairs to see Daniela, she turned to Natalie with a reassuring smile.

“Don’t worry. Daniela may be tough, but she’s not tougher than Brylee was. Remember, Brylee was once the wealthiest woman in the country, and yet, she still met her end.”

Right after Elyse spoke, the elevator doors slid open in front of them.

Daniela was inside.

The smile instantly vanished from Elyse’s face, and her thoughts scrambled.

Had Daniela overheard her?

The assurance Elyse felt just seconds before drained away. She asked tentatively, “Daniela, what brings you down here?”

Daniela responded simply, “We’re going to see Caiden.”

Elyse trailed behind her and entered the car.

She took a seat in the back with Daniela, while Natalie sat up front. Throughout the drive, Elyse stole glances at Daniela, searching her expression for any sign of emotion.

However, Daniela’s face was so composed that Elyse couldn’t determine if she had caught any of their earlier conversation by the elevator.

Natalie, noticing Elyse’s nervous movements in the rearview mirror, looked over at Daniela.

After a moment’s hesitation, she smiled and said, “Daniela, how is Caiden doing? Mom and I are quite concerned about him. Even though your mother is gone, Mom and I still feel like we’re family with Caiden.”

Daniela turned her gaze to the window.

The orange streetlights outside bathed her face in a cold, detached light.

After Natalie finished her statement, she shared a quick look with Elyse, then continued with a smile, “Daniela, you know, just before we got on the elevator, Mom and I were discussing the mother of a classmate of mine. She was a lot like Aunt Brylee, such a capable woman.”
