Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 27:

“It must be! Didn’t you catch the location in the background? That’s the iconic tower in Olisvine! Who else but the CEO of Elite Lux could be involved with such a landmark?”

“Daniela certainly moves in impressive circles if she’s acquainted with someone like the CEO of Elite Lux!”

“Daniela looks breathtaking today. Did anyone else see her ensemble? It’s the newest limited edition from Elite Lux. Absolutely stunning, though the price tag is astronomical.”

“Indeed, does anyone know how much it costs? I’m tempted myself!”

“I do! The whole outfit runs over a million—not even counting the heels Daniela was sporting. But let’s be honest, the exquisite craftsmanship and design of Elite Lux are worth every penny.”

“They’re entering the domestic market soon. With some luck, the prices will become far more accessible. I’m thrilled at the thought of finally wearing a luxury label myself!”

The conversation shifted away from Joyce’s allegations, centering instead on Daniela’s stunning beauty and grace.

Fuming with frustration as her conspiracy crumbled, Joyce barked at the camera, “Listen—don’t be swayed by such twisted values! Daniela’s just a climber, hanging on the coattails of the influential! She’s even been forsaken by her own father!”

Meanwhile, Daniela remained beside the expansive window, her demeanor composed. A beam of sunlight sliced through the gloom, spotlighting her and casting an ethereal glow.

A torrent of eager, heartfelt comments overflowed across the screen.

“Wow! She looks simply divine!”

Joyce’s gaze landed on Daniela, and for a moment, she was transfixed by her luminous presence. Regaining her composure, she marched up and spat out accusatorily, “Daniela! What filthy schemes did you pull to sink your claws into the CEO of Elite Lux? You’re just a gutter rat dressed in stolen silk!”

Daniela’s laughter was light but resonant. Gazing into Joyce’s twisted, angry face, she replied with a calm, mocking smile, “Why not gaze into a mirror and see who truly resembles an ugly gutter rat?”

She accentuated “ugly” in a biting tone, her words slicing through the tension.

Joyce’s face flushed a fiery red. From the moment Katrina introduced her into the Harper family, endless comparisons to Daniela shadowed her every move. Over and over, they deemed her no match for Daniela’s charm. It was intolerable for her.noveldrama

et the stark truth was unavoidable. Her protests only underscored her desperation.

Her appearance, a tender sore spot that haunted her endlessly, became Daniela’s cruel weapon, viciously twisted to publicly disgrace her and deepen the wounds she already carried.

Engulfed by fury, Joyce was on the brink of exploding. Right when she was about to retaliate, the elevator doors parted with a whoosh.

Spotting someone through the opening, Joyce turned to Alexander, her voice filled with anticipation.

“Alexander, 100k! There’s Joshua Dennis—the one I’ve been talking about. He’s connected to the CEO of Elite Lux. He’s about to uncover Daniela as the imposter she truly is.” Joyce then confidently pointed her livestream camera towards Joshua, waving at him with a radiant smile.

“Joshua…”

However, Joshua blatantly ignored her and walked straight to Daniela. Flashing a polite smile, he gave a slight bow.
