Chapter 144:
Her quick response made Cedric pause, considering the potential impulsiveness of her answer. Gathering his
thoughts, he proposed, “Doa favor. Check on that. If she truly wishes to end things with him, I'll handle it.”
Lillian looked at him, bewildered.
“What are you suggesting? You mean to say you'd let go of the North District contract? Cedric, | might not know
every detail, but | do know the enormous effort you've invested in that project. Over 500 design revisions! Are
you really considering giving it up to Alexander?”
“No,” Cedric stated resolutely.
“I won't hand it over. There's another way to handle this. Alexander is only after profit, right? I've just secured a
deal for a new international airline route. I'll offer that to him instead.”
Lillian was visibly shocked. An international airline route was a major asset, a lucrative investment that could
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgenerate immense profits over decades.
“That's far too generous for Alexander!” she protested, her voice tight with disbelief.
Cedric looked down at the calluses on his hands, his face composed, masking the storm of emotions within. In a
steady voice, he affirmed, “I believe it's worth it.”
He was prepared to sacrifice anything to extricate Alexander from Daniela’s life. He needed the construction
rights for the North District building. Articulating this, Cedric felt the full weight of his resolve. He simply wanted
Daniela, the girl from his childhood memories, to have a joyful, serene life.
He envisioned her living in a space he crafted, a place where her laughter would echo, free from any burdens.
For that dream, he was ready to relinquish anything.

Observing Cedric’s determined gaze, Lillian gave a resigned nod.
“Okay, I'll talk to her.”
But Cedric had more instructions.
“Just find out if she truly wants to sever ties. If she does, I'll take care of the details. And don’t let her know.”
Lillian looked puzzled.
“You're going to all this trouble and you don’t want her to know? What do you gain from this?”
Cedric dismissed her concerns with a wave and went back to the construction site. What did he stand to gain?
For Cedric, it was all about securing Daniela’s happiness and peace. He was resolute, prepared to do whatever it
took.
As he headed back, his mind churned with anxiety. He was plagued by the fear that Daniela might not truly wish
to cut ties, and the possibility that Alexander might reject the proposal.
His secretary, riding alongside him, voiced his disbelief bitterly.
“Alexander won't turn this down. Do you realize the value of this deal? It could set the Bennett family up for
generations! You've invested so much into this airline—think of the contacts you've used, the countless meetings
over drinks to secure it. And you're just going to give it away?”
Cedric’s eyes stayed glued to the landscape fleeting past the car window. To him, the airline route was more than
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmjust a business venture. He had conceived it amidst learning of Daniela’s divorce, even naming it “Daniela Line.”
It was intended for her—a way to offer escape and discovery if she ever felt adrift post-divorce. He dreamed of
showing her the world, a gesture to help her shed her sorrows. Unbeknownst to Daniela, Cedric had meticulously
crafted countless plans for her, detailed and carefully laid out, yet he had always hesitated to reveal them.
It wasn’t solely insecurity. It was also fear. Daniela was so admirable, so impeccable, that he often felt unworthy
of her. Cedric chuckled mirthlessly. In the presence of the woman he loved, he felt like a coward.
