NovelUpdateChapter 1033: Hackett's smirk turned into a grimace of contempt. "Daniela? Even with her wealth, she's vulnerable?" "Everyone has a weakness,” Alexander countered, his tone cold and deliberate.
Hackett fixed his intense gaze on Alexander. "Why are you revealing this now? Haven't you always been Daniela's defender? What has changed that you're aidingtoday?" Alexander's eyes drifted towards the window, watching the steady drizzle of rain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe used to think there was plenty of time. He had harbored dreams that Daniela would eventually recognize his devotion, that she would see the lengths he went to win back her affection.
However, a harsh realization struck him-his efforts were in vain. Daniela continued to move forward in her life, her bond with Cedric growing stronger, so perfectly attuned it seemed as though they were meant for each other for a lifetime.
She remained oblivious to his yearnings.
Frustration gnawed at him. What more could he try? Desperation clouded his thoughts.
He resolved that if he couldn't elevate himself to her level, he would have to pull her down to his. Perhaps then, she would notice him, recognizing the lengths he was willing to go, even risking his own life for just a moment of her attention.
Alexander, however, kept these thoughts concealed from Hackett.

Hackett's eyes met Alexander's, and there he saw a chilling, lethal resolve. Reluctantly, he conceded, "Fine, let's hear it." He was indeed cornered; his company teetered on the brink of financial collapse.
Alexander leaned in, his voice low. "Daniela is strong, yet she harbors a profound fear that none of you have noticed. Once you grasp this fear, she's within your control." A spark of hope flickered in Hackett's eyes. "And what terrifies her?" Alexander smirked and said, "She has a fear of heights." The revelation linked back to a haunting memory-Daniela was only five when she witnessed her mother leap from a building. The horror of that moment had deeply ingrained itself in her, leaving her vehemently averse to heights. Despite the decade she spent harboring feelings for him, she had never managed to overcthis deep-seated phobia.
Many people never manage to break through such psychological barriers in their entire lives.
Hearing this, Hackett smacked his forehead in realization. “I should have seen it coming! Remember when Huey leapt from the building?? couldn't figure out why Daniela stayed inside the entire time. It wasn't until Cedric safely pulled Huey back that she dashed outside, only to hurry back in once Cedric was out of danger!"
Alexander responded, "By exploiting Daniela's vulnerability, you could tarnish Elite Lux's public image. With their sales in decline, your company will thrive, and you could even secure the presidency of the association." At Alexander's suggestion, Hackett's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
