Chapter 1258:
But Daniela had left.
With a sigh, Joyce looked in Cedric’s direction. He was hunched over, hands on his knees; he appeared
overwhelmed by fatigue. Perhaps he had finally accepted Daniela’s absence.
In the days that followed, Cedric didn’t move out of the villa as Joyce had imagined. He didn’t even transfer
ownership of the villa. Without asking anyone to clear out Daniela’s belongings, Cedric quietly moved into her
room and placed his own clothes alongside hers, filling in the empty spaces she had left behind.

Breaking the silence that had lingered since Daniela’s absence, the woman was the first to mention Daniela’s
name.
Nearby, Cedric’s secretary remained motionless, holding his breath.
Batting her lashes with practiced sweetness, the woman leaned closer and said, “I'm every bit as attractive as
Daniela, if not more. My father’s a well-known tycoon in this country. Maybe | don’t have as much money as she
does, but I'm still wealthy in my own right. She chose to walk away. Why keep waiting for someone who won't
