Chapter 584:
Even with the promise of repaying double, not a single person agreed.
“Look, it’s not that | don’t want to lend you the money, but my father has made it clear.
You married Daniela, then started something with Joyce. People already questioned your integrity. Then, you
divorced Daniela and married Joyce. Now you're still chasing after Daniela. A man like you isn’t someone we
want to be connected with.”
“I kept in touch with you quietly before, but after your visit to Daniela’s office was exposed, everyone started
saying you have no morals when it comes to money. My family warnedthat if | kept dealing with you, they'd
break my legs.”
“I'm just being honest with you now. All the big families have received similar warnings.
Your reputation is shot, and you're not going to get the money. Just let it go, man.”
Alexander stood there, frozen, a cold chill creeping down his spine. He hadn't realized just how badly his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreputation had taken a hit.
With a slow, defeated nod, he turned and walked out into the pouring rain, feeling utterly lost and empty. Once
again, Alexander found himself at Daniela’s doorstep, asking for a million.
“Even if you seeas a beggar, you still wouldn't givethat much, would you?”
Physically drained and mentally worn, Alexander had cface-to-face with the worst of human nature in recent
days, and now, facing Daniela, he was no longer the confident man he once was.
Daniela was busy, and when her secretary cto call her for a meeting, she dismissed him with, “I can’t lend

However, Alexander didn’t give up. He waited downstairs at Elite Lux, his pride hanging by a thread. Even
though it was hard, he preferred swallowing his pride in front of Daniela rather than begging Joyce for the million.
When Daniela cout of the building, Cedric was by her side. They were chatting, exchanging light smiles—the
kind she used to give him.
A wave of jealousy and regret washed over Alexander.
“Daniela, do you have a moment?”
Daniela raised an eyebrow in surprise. Alexander seemed more humble than she’d ever seen him.
“I've already said everything | needed to,” she replied, curious about why Alexander was coming to her now. She
was aware that the upper-class circles had turned their backs on him, and she had no intention of making things
worse, nor did she plan to offer any assistance. In fact, she was intrigued. Why did Alexander believe she would
lend him money and continue to cto her? If he thought she still cared for him, it was downright absurd.
“I know, but I really need to talk to you,” Alexander said, his urgency clear. A new partnership was in the works,
and any delay could disrupt everything. If that happened, the Bennett family would be on the brink of
bankruptcy.
In moments like this, pride and arrogance could be set aside.
“Just five minutes. Givefive minutes, please. It's too crowded here. Let's step aside for a moment. | promise,
after this, | won't trouble you again. Is that alright, Daniela?” His voice was soft, his eyes pleading.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Just five minutes, or | won't feel at peace. | know you're frustrated, but please, just five minutes to wrap this up,
alright?”
Alexander wasn’t sure why he was saying any of it. His thoughts were jumbled, his words lacking logic.
Just as he moved to reach her, Daniela stepped back. She walked a few steps to the side with Alexander, Cedric
trailing behind them.
Alexander, no longer caring, blurted out, “I know you won't just givethe money. How about we make a
deal?”
