NovelEnglishChapter 789: She knew Linden had been coveting Daniela for quite stime.
Elyse approached with a smile that hid her true intentions. “Daniela, Nina isn't here, but perhaps I can speak with you instead." Daniela looked surprised. "Oh? What brings you here, Aunt Elyse?" As her smile slowly disappeared, Elyse let out a sigh. “I've been going through a hard tlately, Daniela. Are you available tonight? I used to talk to your mother when I felt this way. Now that she's no longer here, maybe we could talk. Would that be alright?" Elyse was aware of Daniela's deep commitment to her family.
She knew bringing up anything else wouldn't help.
Daniela was typically distant, but mentioning Brylee might change her mind.

"Good girl, I'm so pleased. Con, hop in the car.” Elyse kindly swung open the car door for Daniela.
Without warning, the villa's door burst open and Cedric walked out.
Elyse's heart raced, and she quickly helped Daniela into the car.
Before Cedric could get to them, Elyse quickly told the driver, "Drive! Quickly!" Cedric closed the gap in a few long strides.
He pulled at the door handle, finding it locked. His eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to command the driver to open it, Daniela's hand covered his.
From inside the car, Daniela looked up at him with a smile. "Aunt Elyse said she's been feeling down. I'll stay with her. Please wait forat home, okay?" How could Cedric be at ease? Naturally, he was unwilling to be alone with Elyse.
Daniela tightened her hold on Cedric's hand. "Don't worry. I'll return soon." Then, she straightened up and instructed the driver, "Drive." Elyse noticed the confusion on Cedric's face, a brief and snobbish smile passing across hers.
Had Cedric known that he was unknowingly sending Daniela into another man's bedroom, he might have regretted it deeply later.
The thought brought Elyse a rush of excitement.

Elyse looked down, quickly sending texts to Linden and Natalie, letting them know Daniela would be at the hotel in thirty minutes. Upon receiving the text, Linden hurriedly took another shower.
Natalie quickly reached out to all the media outlets in Olisvine. The news of Elite Lux's CEO entangled in am disgraceful affair with a disgraceful man would severely damage the company's image. She aimed for Daniela to lose everything by dawn, including Cedric's love.
Inside the car, Elyse grinned at Daniela. "Cedric is a high-powered CEO, yet he's quite clingy, don't you m think? Daniela, is it true that he handles all your finances? That's not ideal. We're family, so here's ssincere advice. You should control your own money. If you're too busy to manage your assets, I could help. I managed your mother's finances, after all." That was indeed true. Elyse had gained a considerable profit after Brylee's death.
Daniela looked out the window, her expression unreadable. "Really? Aunt Elyse, what do you think was going through my mother's mind before she jumped from that building? Did she leave any desires unfulfilled? Any resentments unresolved?" Elyse was caught off guard by Daniela's sudden change of subject. Her face tensed up. "Well, your mother was quite ill before her death. Perhaps, in a way, her passing was a form of freedom."
