Chapter 197:
He stood there, watching her retreat upstairs, her movements deliberate and final. The door closed behind her,
and Alexander remained, standing in place, lost in thought. He couldn't understand it.
But in that moment, an unsettling sense of cold dread washed over him. Was this really Daniela?
Alexander stepped out of Daniela’s residence to find Richard waiting expectantly by the car. Richard had taken it
upon himself to drive Alexander today, his intentions clear. Given Daniela’s growing influence, Richard was eager
to secure her favor. The thought of anyone else gaining her trust was unbearable to him.
“How did things go?” Richard pressed, flashing a sly grin.
“Was it a candlelit dinner or a lavish meal? Did Daniela invite you to stay overnight? Remember my advice,
Alexander. Don’t be too quick to please her.
You need to keep her intrigued. First, secure the lucrative North District project, then aim for the company

Lux will be firmly in your hands.
You're playing your cards right; you really are my son!” Richard's voice swelled with pride.
“Dad, | didn’t have dinner,” Alexander interjected, his tone flat. Richard's smile vanished, replaced by a look of

Richard, flustered, waved his hand in dismissal.
“That can’t be right! Daniela would starve herself before neglecting you like that. Have you done something to
upset her?”
Alexander shook his head slowly, deliberately. He recalled how Daniela had disdainfully tossed his sketchbook
into the trash. Her expression had been cold, calculating, distant—eerily so.
“I suspect Daniela doesn’t likeanymore,” Alexander murmured, releasing a weary sigh.
Richard, however, remained unconvinced.
“How can you say that? Why did she invite you to dinner if she didn’t even like you? If she truly didn’t care, she
wouldn't even take your calls. And let's face it, you wouldn't have lingered up there if she didn’t show some
interest. Sometimes, you need to coax a woman.”
He pointed to the grand sign adorning the building and continued, “With all this wealth at stake, even if Daniela
doesn’t harbor feelings for you now, you must sway her to marry you. Don’t worry. | know charming women isn’t
your strong suit, so I've assembled stools to help you win her heart!”
With that, he took Alexander back to the company.
The moment they emerged from the car, Alexander's eyes widened at the sight of a dozen employees lined up
at the entrance. They chimed together in a well-rehearsed chorus, “Good evening!” Once inside, Richard ushered
Alexander toward the CEO's office.
With a gentle push, he swung open the door to an office adorned with an array of photos featuring Daniela.

preferences, personality, and the traits she found appealing in a partner.
“I've brought in a relationship strategist specifically for your pursuit. They've dissected every facet of Daniela’s
life to maximize your chances of captivating her heart.”
As Richard elaborated on the strategy, his phone buzzed—Katrina was calling. He excused himself with a
reassuring pat on Alexander's shoulder, whispering, “The Bennett family’s future rests on your shoulders now.”
