Chapter 452:
He would wait until Bennett Group was running smoothly again and securing a significant project. Then, he could
approach Daniela and ask for another chance, a fresh start.
Only then would he feel like he could truly stand on equal ground with Cedric.
He knew he hadn't been the best husband in the past, but if he could have another opportunity, he was
determined to build a better future with Daniela. To truly cherish her this time, never again exploiting her
loneliness or allowing himself to take her for granted. With those thoughts, Alexander felt a surge of purpose, a
renewed determination to make things right.
Meanwhile, Joyce returned to Caiden’s villa again. She waited for a quiet moment when no one was around and
trapped Cedric in the garden.

His physique was exactly her type—thin in clothes, yet toned and muscular underneath.
His eyes, always indifferent, fascinated her. She was eager to see just how wild and uncontrollable someone like
him could be in bed.
“Don’t worry. As long as the money is right, | won't spill your secret.” She edged closer, her voice low and
tempting.
Cedric’s lips curled into a sneer as he smoothly sidestepped her approach, causing Joyce to stumble and crash to
the ground.
“What's that supposed to mean?” she snapped, glaring up at him.
Cedric’s expression remained icy.

“You're giving yourself too much credit. Do you honestly think you're in any position to be connected with
someone like me?” Without a second glance, he turned and walked away, leaving her seething with anger.
Joyce slammed her fist into the ground, frustration boiling over.
Cedric had no idea what was good for him.
If that was how he wanted to play it, she’d make sure to use her own methods.
It wasn’t long before rumors started circulating throughout Olisvine that Cedric had a preference for men. The
rumors escalated, growing wilder and more exaggerated with each passing day.
Daniela, attending a banquet without much concern, overheard people gossiping about it. Their faces were filled
with sincere regret.
“How could Cedric... What a shame!”
“My dad even toldto try harder to win his heart. After hearing that, he couldn't eat for three days.”
“Who wouldn't be disappointed? | always said I'd compete with you fairly, but now, what's the point?”
“There are so few decent men left in the world, and now the good ones are being snatched away from us! Is

“I once saw Daniela as a rival, but now | see | completely misjudged her.”
Daniela held her glass of wine, listening to every word of the conversation.
Now it made sense why the other women at the banquet had been so friendly towards her.
But she couldn’t wrap her head around how these rumors had even begun.
She glanced at Cedric, who stood not far off, mingling with a drink in hand.
