Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Charles arrived at Daniela's villa. Daniela sat reading beneath the pavilion. Cedric was nearby, tending to the flowers.
Charles stepped closer. "Daniela." She looked up from her book. "You again?" He gave her a small smile. "That move you made was something else. Buying that building across from McCoy Group must've cost a fortune. You made it look easy." "It must feel nice to have that kind of money." Daniela smiled lightly. "Did you chere for something?" Charles hesitated. "Are you really planning to keep Cedric out of the McCoy inheritance?" Her voice was calm. “Isn't that already clear? He doesn't need the burden.” Charles shook his head, still stunned by Cedric's luck. "In that case, please helpout. If I get what I want, I'll make sure Cedric ends up with half of McCoy Group." Half of it. Worth more than a hundred billion.
Charles was surprisingly generous.
He looked a little uneasy as he faced Daniela. “So, what's your take on it?" She didn't bother softening her response. "Why not? Free money's not something people turn down." Charles lit up like a kid at Christmas. "Perfect! We're all set, then." Daniela gave a small nod. "Yes. But don't rush anything. Wait for my company to build up first. Step in when the timing's right. And keep your distance in public. Don't get too friendly withor Cedric." Uncover new tales on gVlnovalsCharles gave a sly grin. "Understood." Cedric, who had been tending the flowers nearby, turned just in tto catch Charles looking way too pleased with himself. His face darkened.
Charles waved as he walked off, humming like nothing was wrong.
Cedric ground his teeth. "Why is he even here?" Daniela turned to look at his puffed-up face and let out a quiet chuckle. That small smile from her wiped Cedric's mind clean of whatever complaint he had.
"You're actually smiling? I haven't seen you smile like that in ages." His gaze locked onto her. "You look just as stunning as ever." Daniela let out a long breath and gave him a look. "What an ass-licker." Cedric shook his head. "That's Charles."
Not too far off, Carol was sunbathing like she didn't have a care in the om world. She glanced over and sent a quick message to Ryan and Lillian. "We don't need to do anything. They're already drawn to each other." Ryan replied, "Daniela does have unmatched charm."
Lillian added, "Tell Cedric to pick up the pace. We're showing up next week at the latest!"
When Carol shared that with Cedric, his eyes stayed glued to Danielam That look in them-possessive, loyal, full of heat-said everything. He clenched his fists and bit down hard, ready to act.
