Chapter 158:
And now, here they were, claiming to be “family.”
Ronald, noticing her silence, decided to play tough. He scowled and said, “Daniela, letmake this clear—we're
not here to beg. If Joyce gets something, we expect the same. If not, we'll make sure everyone knows how you
turned your back on your family. Elite Lux just made its big return, and you wouldn't want bad press, would you?
| know how much people like you value their image.”
Ronald was always full of big talk. He'd spent a few years as a midlevel manager before running his mouth and
getting fired. In his mind, his argument made perfect sense.
Wyatt, as usual, just nodded in agreement.
Ronald's fists were balled up, his eyes burning with fury. Every muscle in his body was coiled tight, as though he
was seconds away from charging at anyone who dared provoke him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniela stood poised and unbothered, a soft smile playing on her lips. She was dressed in a stunning white gown
from Elite Lux’s collection. The dress hugged her tall, elegant frame, the tailoring emphasizing her every curve,
while pearls dangled from her ears, highlighting her glowing complexion with understated elegance.
Ronald and Wyatt gritted their teeth, doing everything they could to force Daniela into a corner.
At the sight of approaching security, Ronald's gaze turned cold as he leaned closer to Daniela, his voice low and
menacing.
“We're at rock bottom, Daniela, and we've got nothing to fear from someone with so much to lose. My debts are
stacking up, my family’s out of work, and we're barely scraping by. If you don’t givean answer today, it's
simple: either you'll be six feet under, or I'll climb to the top of the building and end it all! Blood will spill in front
of your precious tower, and then let's see how well your business runs after that!” He knew how to make a threat
feel real.

Daniela nearly applauded his tic performance.
Lillian, who had just entered, shot them a disapproving look.
She was about to snap when Daniela held up a hand to stop her. Turning slightly, Daniela winked at her and said
in a teasing, yet firm tone, “These are my uncles, Lillian. Show a little respect.”
Lillian blinked, momentarily taken aback, but quickly understood the cue. With a quiet “okay,” she stepped back,
folding her arms across her chest.
When Daniela faced Ronald and Wyatt again, her demeanor becmore sincere.
Ronald and Wyatt were momentarily caught off guard, but their smirks quickly resurfaced.
Internally, Ronald couldn't contain his satisfaction. No matter how successful Daniela was, he knew she was still
beneath him. His chest swelled with pride, certain that he had the upper hand. Wyatt watched Ronald with
admiration, clearly impressed by what he thought were top-tier negotiation tactics.
“I always knew you were sharp. Smarter than Katrina and Joyce, for sure. Now, let's cut to the chase. What role
can you get us?”
Ronald misread Daniela’s calmness as a sign of defeat, his confidence growing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis whole attitude screamed victory, as if the battle was already over.
Behind Daniela, Lillian couldn't hide her contempt. She rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. They were the ones
begging. How could they be so clueless about their own situation?
Daniela stayed as composed as always, her voice polite yet unwavering.
“I've always recognized your potential.
You just need to find the right opportunities. Otherwise, you would have been in roles like manager, president, or
even chairman by now.”
