Chapter 360:
“After becoming the richest in Olisvine, Richard grew too confident and faced a liquidity crisis the following year.
Who persuaded the bank to extend a substantial loan to the Bennett family? Bennett Group stabilized, but during
the year you married Daniela, Richard's careless remarks nearly caused your downfall. Who crafted the PR
strategy that not only salvaged your reputation but turned a crisis into a triumph? That move is still celebrated
as a masterstroke by PR experts.”
Cedric’s gaze on Alexander was unyielding. He concluded, “Everyone sees you, Alexander, as the savvy CEO
who steered Bennett Group through troubled waters. But is that the reality? Alexander, Daniela might not bother
keeping tabs on these favors with you, but I'm someone who remembers every detail. If you continue to be
ungrateful and spread falsehoods, then rest assured, I'll account for everything, including the grievances you
aired during your divorce from her!”
Alexander lingered in the courtyard for what felt like an eternity. It was only Joyce's voice, calling his name, that
snapped him out of his reverie. Thad slipped by unnoticed.
Daniela had always been a vault when it cto the past. If Cedric hadn't unearthed those details today,

Alexander recognized that he had been the primary beneficiary throughout their relationship.
For years, he had deluded himself into thinking that Daniela had married into the Bennett family out of avarice,
using their wealth and influence as stepping stones to cement her status within the Harper family. Now,
reflecting on those thoughts, he realized how naive and absurd they had been.
Even after their separation, Daniela had kept her silence about her contributions. Was she protecting his fragile
ego? The realization stirred a maelstrom of shame, regret, and vexation within Alexander.
Then it dawned on him—when Bennett Group teetered on the brink of another crisis post-divorce, and he found
himself floundering for solutions, it was because Daniela was no longer his hidden ace.

Disoriented, Alexander shuffled back into the villa. As he passed through the living room, Joyce's voice echoed a
few times, but it fell on deaf ears.
Lillian questioned Daniela, “What's gotten into Alexander?”
Alexander deliberately slowed his steps, straining to hear Daniela’s reply.
Yet, there was only silence. When he turned back, he saw Daniela seated serenely on the sofa, engrossed in her
game, utterly aloof.
In that instant, Alexander understood. Daniela had completely severed ties with him—just as she had with
Cedric.
Cedric, who had never been daunted by anything, now stood frozen in fear. He lingered silently in front of
Daniela’s door, paralyzed. Words failed him. The divide between them wasn’t merely physical—it felt as though
he had been relegated to the outskirts of her universe. Despite living under the sroof and crossing paths
daily, an invisible barrier seemed to isolate him from her.
During this period, Cedric left on a two-day business trip and found himself embroiled in a trivial yet annoying
scandal. It was an unfounded rumor—utter drivel. Normally, Cedric would have shrugged off such nonsense. But
this time, he panicked. He dialed his team, demanding they quash the trending topic at once.
Upon his return to the villa, Cedric was slightly breathless from hastening back. In the living room, Caiden waved
his phone, making snide remarks.
“Cedric’s still quite the heartthrob. Even in a meeting, he sparks a romance.”
“Exactly! Cedric’s got the looks, the clout, and the cash. Who in Olisvine even comes close? And check this out—
he’s practically glued to that actress in this picture!”
“Oh, I've seen her! She's starring in that buzzed-about . It’s no surprise she’s climbed the ranks so quickly
with these kinds of connections. Guess Cedric’s her benefactor, huh?” Katrina chimed in.
