Chapter 139:
Already frustrated by his recent business setback, Alexander grew more irritated.
“What are you implying? Do you believe | deceived you? Do you seeas someone who would lie about
something so insignificant?” he retorted sharply.
His eyes narrowed, his voice sharpening defensively.
“Daniela, I've always wondered—if | hadn't been that boy, would your treatment ofhave been the same? Is
your kindness just because of a few childhood drawings and three months of memories? Are you saying that all
our shared experiences, all these years together, mean less than those brief moments?”
Alexander's gaze was piercing, challenging her to respond.
“Tell me! Without those three months, would you have cared as much? Would you have been so patient? Would

“No.” Daniela’s answer was prompt, her tone resolute and clear.
The word hit Alexander like a physical blow.
“Without those three months, | wouldn't have endured, wouldn't have cared as deeply as | did all these years.”
She understood her own suffering and the neglect she’d felt. Only a profound reason could have sustained her
through such hardship.
For Daniela, it was the belief that the boy from her past was the kind, gentle soul she had once connected with.
Alexander scoffed bitterly, stepping back with a wild, nearly deranged smile.

“Incredible, Daniela! You really exceed yourself! Now, you say whatever you please, huh?”
Daniela remained composed, her demeanor untouched by his sarcasm. Alexander's tone bectaunting.
“So, what now? Continue being kind to me! Hand over the North District project! What happened to all those
sentiments from your childhood? Have you forgotten them?” He glared at her, his eyes aflwith intensity.
“Didn’t you claim | pulled you from your darkest days as a child? Didn't you vow to repay that debt? Very well,
secure the North District project contract for me! Hand it over, and we'll call it square from here on out!”
Daniela remained motionless, a chill enveloping her heart, ice spreading through her veins. She gazed at
Alexander, her eyes wide with disbelief.
This marked the second tshe had been overwhelmed by her emotions since her return—her earlier turmoil

And now, this moment.
She locked eyes with Alexander and demanded, “What did you just say?”
Alexander, now visibly more composed, suppressed the surge of irritation and turmoil within.
“If you truly want us to settle all debts, then bringthe contract for the North District project. Otherwise,
Daniela, you will forever be in my debt.”

effort and care she had shown him over the years. So all her affection had been directed at the boy she believed
he was. All this time, she had been striving to please someone who wasn’t truly him.
Alexander squeezed his eyes shut, attempting to push away the irritation swelling inside him. But it was
pointless. The fear tightened around his chest, choking him, making it almost impossible to think clearly.
“Daniela! You've got two days. Think it over. When you're ready, cto Bennett Group with your answer.”
