Chapter 238:
If he walked away now, it would make him seem like he was only after her wealth, and that would be humiliating.
So he decided to keep his cool with Daniela. But it felt like she was toying with him, knowing he wouldn't dare
agree, yet she still bombarded him with three messages a day asking about it.
Now, he was completely at a loss. Responding felt like a problem, but staying silent was just as tricky. He found
himself stuck in an unresolvable dilemma. With Elite Lux’s upcoming bidding looming, Alexander's anxiety
reached a peak.
His stress was so overwhelming that it caused painful mouth ulcers, making it hard for him to speak properly.
“Dad, what do you think we should do? Should we go for the bidding?”
Attending the bidding would mean abandoning the commitment he had made earlier. But if they skipped it, how
could he live with missing out on a project worth billions?

Daniela leave any opening for negotiation in what she said?”
Alexander paused for a moment, then shook his head.
“No, she was pretty clear. She said what she needed to, then walked out, tellingto think it over on my own.
She also mentioned how she admired the way her parents balanced things—her dad taking care of the home
while her mom ran the business.”
Richard's grip tightened even further. His gaze cut through Alexander like a sharp knife.
“So, she’s really forcing you to choose, huh? Do you care more about the money or her?”

Richard narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t hold back. Just be straight with me.”
Life with Daniela promised a future dripping with opulence and wealth, but it also demanded a sacrifice of his
moral compass.
“Go down this road, and you'll becjust another spineless lapdog, like those pathetic losers drooling over
Daniela—gutless and the butt of everyone's jokes.
Yet, behind the facade of derision, life would be sweet. And when she’s gone, even a tiny slice of her fortune
would ensure you live in luxury, much like Caiden did,” Richard muttered.
“But if you're the one to die first, everything you've done will be meaningless.”
He fixed his gaze on Alexander, his expression serious.
“This one’s on you. Only you can decide. If you want to be with Daniela, remember, Bennett Group will be
relegated to a life of modesty.”
Society often viewed a man dependent on a woman's wealth as lacking independence and drive.
Richard muttered a string of curses under his breath, seething at Daniela’s heartless, manipulative games.
Yet, the allure of inheriting tens of billions was no trivial matter. It was the kind of temptation that could break
even the strongest resolve.
With a troubled frown, Richard rubbed his hands together and turned away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis chance encounter with Daniela while shopping was unexpected.
In days gone by, Richard would have haughtily awaited Daniela’s lavish praises. Now, the sight of Daniela— a
vision of sophistication in her designer clothes and shimmering pearl earrings— made his heart skip a beat,
debating whether to approach and offer flattering words.
Whispers swirled that Daniela’s unassuming pearl earrings alone boasted a value exceeding eighty million.
Richard mustered a smile, preparing to exchange pleasantries with Daniela.
