Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 817:

Natalie fought back with all her strength, urging Elyse to step in and help her.noveldrama

Suddenly, the CEO’s office door swung open, and Daniela appeared at the far end of the corridor, watching the scene.

As she felt Daniela’s gaze on her, Elyse’s grip on Natalie’s hand loosened.

A wave of fear washed over Natalie. She tightened her hold on Elyse’s hand.

Daniela looked on in silence, a subtle smile curving her lips.

Natalie shook her head at Elyse, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Mom, please don’t let him take me. You know what he’ll do. I can’t go with Linden. Please help me!”

Natalie’s voice was thick with despair as she cried.

Elyse’s eyes welled with tears. However, she quickly pulled her hand away from Natalie’s.

Linden laughed as he pulled Natalie toward the elevator, making their movement obvious to everyone in the secretarial department.

Just as the elevator doors began to close, he lifted Natalie’s shirt. As Natalie screamed in terror, Linden kissed her forcefully, fully aware of the eyes watching them.

Elyse watched everything, shutting her eyes in surrender.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Linden’s hand moved lower, and Natalie, overwhelmed by the situation, closed her eyes in defeat.

The bystanders gasped, their disdain for Elyse and Natalie intensifying. Elyse had the power to rescue her daughter. Had she intervened, Daniela would have commanded Linden to stop.

Was there no escape for Natalie?

Actually, there was.

If she had dialed the police right then, Linden would have given up without a fight, but Natalie chose not to.

Her act of closing her eyes signified surrender to her fate, overwhelmed by financial burdens.

Daniela watched everything, her lips curling into a faint smile.

It was far from enough.

Nowhere near enough.

Only the complete ruin of those involved could ever make up for the loss of her mother.

Her mother had been taken too soon, and those responsible would not be easily let off.

Elyse wiped at the tears near her lips, turning to Daniela with a wide grin. “Daniela, you see? They’re a perfect match. Daniela, all those previous issues were just misunderstandings. Now, about the retirement home you promised, when will I get it?”

She was sacrificing Natalie’s future for wealth.

Daniela was mildly entertained. “What I promised, I’ll certainly fulfill. Aunt Elyse, since Natalie and Linden seem so taken with each other, when are they planning to get married?”

Elyse’s face shifted to one of disbelief.

Getting married?

A fling was something that held no real importance.

When Natalie rose to power, who would still recall her past mistakes?

But marriage was a different matter entirely.
