Chapter 745:
Elyse studied Natalie's resolute expression and sighed.
“This time, it won't be so simple.”
Daniela got hlate that night and found Cedric already waiting for her.
“Where were you? You took so long.” He knelt down and changed her shoes.
Nina walked downstairs and froze in shock. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
As strong as Cedric was, he was always so humble around Daniela. But Daniela wasn’t surprised—she was
already used to it.
The moment he straightened up, Daniela threw herself into his arms.

Cedric chuckled, and she leaned in, aiming for a kiss.
But he playfully dodged, making her stretch onto her tiptoes. He laughed and turned his head away just in time.
Refusing to give up, Daniela chased after him, but this time, Cedric suddenly leaned down and gave her a deep,
silent kiss.
Standing at the staircase, Nina saw everything.
After their playful moment, Cedric wrapped his arms around Daniela’s waist and asked with a smile, “Are you
tired now?” Daniela gave a small nod.
“Yeah.”
Without hesitation, he scooped her into his arms and carried her upstairs. As they passed Nina, he didn’t spare
her a glance—it was as if Daniela was the only person in his world.
The door clicked shut, and only then did Nina shift her gaze away.
The following morning, when Daniela arrived at the office, Natalie was already there. She saw Daniela and called
out, “Daniela.”
Daniela raised her head, her voice steady and clear.
“This is the office.
You should addressas Ms. Harper.”
Natalie, clearly reluctant, pursed her lips and complied.
“Ms. Harper.” Daniela didn’t say a word or even glance at Natalie.
Natalie, full of pride, was furious and spent the entire morning fuming with anger.
Linden walked up to Natalie, his voice affectionate as he called her “honey” and reached out for her hand.
Despite the wave of disgust she felt, Natalie allowed him to hold her hand for the first time. With a cold, piercing
gaze aimed at Daniela’s office, Natalie turned to Linden and asked bluntly, “When can you get rid of Daniela?”

“How about givingmore?”
Natalie quickly brushed off his hand, glaring at him with clear disgust.
“That's enough. I've already slept with you twice, but what have you done for me? Daniela is still safe and
sound!”
Linden rushed to comfort her, trying to close the gap.
Natalie pulled her hand away coldly.
“If you're not willing to do anything for me, then we should end this. We're nothing but strangers.”
Linden’s face fell, his voice desperate.
“Giveone more chance. | swear I'll make a move!”
Fuming, Natalie snapped, “Enough! Don’t waste my time. If you can truly handle Daniela, then maybe I'll be with
you more, but if you're just fooling me, I'll be disgusted by even being near you!”
