Chapter 338:
He thought Cedric was fooled by Daniela’s tricks. He himself wouldn't be duped so easily. Nor did he have any
interest.
Yet, he lingered in the doorway, tightly gripping his glass, hanging on to their every word.
When Lillian returned upstairs later, she noticed Cedric’s ears still bore a flush of red. With a smirk, she leaned
on Daniela’s door, took a deep drink of water, and asked, “Daniela, can | ask something?”
Daniela, stretched out on the floor working on the puzzle, seemed as peaceful and unfazed as ever.
Lillian watched her closely, searching for any hint of emotion. But there was nothing.
“Hmm?” Daniela murmured without looking up.
“What is it?” In the spacious, quiet room, her voice took on an almost surreal echo.
Pausing briefly, Lillian finally said, “Did you ever treat Alexander the way you did Cedric just now?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniela stopped, a puzzle piece pinched between her fingers. She straightened up and turned to Lillian, her face
full of confusion.
“How exactly?”
Lillian covered her ears.
With a shake of her head, Daniela responded, “No.”

Lillian pressed further.
“Why not?”
Pondering for a moment, Daniela tilted her head, her brow creased in contemplation.
“Why would I? Alexander didn’t require that from me.”
“Is it really that he didn’t need it, or you didn’t want to provide it?” Lillian asked.
“Consider this. Had Alexander been in Cedric’s situation just now, would you have offered him the same
comfort?”
Daniela paused to think, then said again, “No. That's not how Alexander operates.”
“Why then, did you comfort Cedric?”
“Because he looked sad just now,” she admitted.
“It was as if something precious to him had been hurt. In his eyes, | noticed a momentary, hidden hint of sorrow.”
Lillian went on.
“And concerning Alexander...”
“Lillian, you constantly mention Alexander,” Daniela retorted sharply, crossing her legs.
“He’s not suitable for you. He's cold, manipulative, and obsessed with profit. He's involved with Joyce. Although
we're financially stable and could manipulate him with money, | would never recommend someone like him as a
partner.”
Her attempts had taught her well. Alexander was simply too distant, too gloomy, and too inconsistent. He was
not a viable candidate for marriage.
Stunned, Lillian blinked in silence. Ryan, who had been casually leaning against the railing, looked equally

Breaking the silence, Lillian exclaimed, throwing her hands up, “When will you apply that brilliant business
acumen to other areas of life? You're always so logical and strategic at work.
Yet, with personal matters... all your skills vanish completely?”
Daniela stayed up until after one in the morning working on the puzzle, then finally headed to bed. She had
always found sleep elusive. The puzzle Cedric gave her helped burn off senergy, letting her fall asleep
somewhat earlier than usual.
