Chapter 427:
Daniela looked radiant and extremely competent, her successes now out of Alexander's league.
Daniela had lost all interest in Alexander.
Reflecting on this, Joyce let out a soft laugh. She had once felt superior to Daniela because she had stolen
Alexander from her.
Yet Daniela had moved on to Cedric, who clearly surpassed Alexander in every way.
It appeared she was the one who had truly lost.
With a calm expression, Joyce brought her glass to her lips.
Following Daniela’s speech, the crowd burst into applause.
Joyce's eyes returned to Cedric, his face bright with happiness and pride.
It might have been her imagination, but Joyce felt that tonight, Daniela seemed closer to Cedric than ever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Daniela stepped down from the stage, she even extended her hand to Cedric.
This was different from her usual self. Daniela had always been as independent as a lone wolf, always detached
and unapproachable.
Joyce glanced at the person next to her, a smile tinged with sarcasm on her face.
“Don’t bother watching. | bet they'll end up together soon, if they aren't already.”
Alexander remained silent, finishing his wine in a single, heavy swallow.
Joyce observed Alexander's aloof behavior, her expression growing darker with each passing moment. She was
puzzled by the facade he presented, acting superior and detached.
Previously, when he was with Daniela, he had been kind to her.
Yet now, despite their marriage, he remained distant, never once showing affection.
It seemed the household staff had been whispering, for the entire circle of socialites was abuzz with talk that
Alexander’s marriage to her was devoid of love. They cruelly suggested he scorned her for her past. Such vicious
comments circulated, yet not a single member of the Bennett family rose to her defense.
Determined, Joyce resolved to sleep with Alexander that evening. After all, initiating contact had simplified
matters for Katrina in her relationship with Caiden.
Alexander was off to the side, silently nursing his drink. Keith approached, smirking, and taunted, “Having
regrets now?”
Alexander responded only with silence, continuing to sip his drink.
Keith continued, “I told you Joyce is no match for Daniela.
You didn’t believe me. Now, Daniela seems to have moved on with Cedric, leaving you in the dust.”
Upon hearing this, Alexander raised his head, his gaze sharp and cold.
“Has Daniela herself confirmed she’s with Cedric?”
Keith answered confidently, “Is it even necessary to ask? | may not know business, but | understand people.
Daniela has always been cautious with her feelings. She might have pursued you, yet she kept her distance
emotionally. Was she ever truly intimate with you? Did she express any real desire? Have you ever actually been
together physically? It's simple, Alexander. When a woman is truly interested in a man, she shows it, naturally

Alexander's expression darkened further.
“What's your point?”
Keith concluded, “My point is, whatever Daniela felt for you before was superficial. Now with Cedric, it’s different.
They share a chemistry that’s palpable, and even if they haven't openly admitted it, it's obvious they share a
connection.”
At these words, Alexander's grip on his glass tightened. Keith, sensing the rising tension, patted Alexander's
shoulder regretfully.
