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

Chapter 795:

Many of the reporters hadn’t paid much attention to Linden before. But now, seeing the photo, they were all taken aback, their expressions filled with shock. “Is this Linden?”

Everyone turned to Elyse, their eyes sharp with doubt. “Ms. Dury, could you have made a mistake? Maybe they’re just conducting business upstairs. Surely, Daniela wouldn’t choose a man like that.”

Fury burned in Elyse’s eyes, her face contorted as she struggled to contain her anger. With a deep sigh, she sought to calm her voice. “Well, people have different tastes, don’t they? Daniela might favor men who are strikingly handsome or perhaps those who are quite the opposite. It’s hard to say.”

Noticing the reporter gearing up to ask another question, Elyse rose and offered a fleeting smile. “Could we perhaps discuss this privately?”

She discreetly slid the last ten thousand dollars she had into his pocket, prompting a compliant grin from the reporter. The reporters, sharp as ever, quickly caught on to Elyse’s intentions. They shared knowing smiles and continued to order dish after dish without restraint.

By morning, when Natalie and her mother saw the bill, they almost gasped in shock. The bill totaled a staggering five million dollars.

“This is outrageous!” Natalie scowled, poised to confront them.

However, Elyse held her back. “Let it go. Once Daniela is out of the picture, this will be just a small expense for Elite Lux. These journalists have influence, and we’ll need their support to shape our image after she’s gone.”

Exhaling sharply, Natalie rolled her eyes. “They act like parasites! I’ll reclaim every dime once I take over.”

Elyse brushed off the concern with a wave of her hand and said, “It’s time. Let’s make our move.”noveldrama

They used their card to unlock the hotel room door. Upon entering, they found the room in complete chaos. A sense of relief washed over Natalie while Elyse smirked in satisfaction.

The room’s dim lighting barely revealed Daniela under the quilt. Elyse scanned the room and flashed a suggestive grin at Linden. “Had a good time?”

Linden sprawled casually in an armchair near the curtains. “Not too shabby.”

With a sly laugh, Elyse laid out the plan. “I’m about to storm in with the press. We’ll strip down, grab Daniela, and ensure she’s alone when she exits the hotel. Then, we’ll find an opportunity to end her life.”

Elyse was as devious as ever. Her plan was to rise to power at Elite Lux after Daniela’s demise, which would leave Cedric shattered by the perceived betrayal. Claiming the role of Daniela’s aunt had been a long-conceived strategy to enable her takeover.

With a confident grin, Elyse was ready to implement her master strategy. “Wait!”

Turning with a puzzled expression, Elyse faced Linden. “What’s the matter?”

“There’s something I don’t understand. Did you have a hand in Brylee’s death?” Linden asked, eyeing the figure in the bed.

The smile vanished from Elyse’s face. “Why would you bring that up?”

Nonchalantly, Linden responded, “Out of curiosity. I’m on your payroll, after all. It’s puzzling how you could target her daughter, considering Brylee’s past kindness to you. Could you shed some light on that?”

Elyse’s face hardened, her tone cold. “What’s there to clarify? I was after their wealth, and they were too affluent for their own good. I ended Brylee’s life, and Daniela’s end will be by my hands as well—her fate will mirror her mother’s.”

With that, Elyse exited without another word.
