Chapter 361:
At that moment, Joyce looked up at Cedric, who had just entered, and blurted out, “Cedric, is it true? Are you
really that actress's benefactor?”
The room fell silent, the question hanging in the air like a storm cloud. All eyes turned to Cedric, all except
Daniela’s.
Cedric stood still, his gaze lingering on Daniela as he eventually muttered, “I can explain.”
“What does that mean?” Caiden jumped in, eager to fan the flames.
“So, you're his sugar daddy?”
Alexander glanced briefly at Cedric, then redirected his gaze to Daniela. She remained composed, her focus
glued to her phone. She continued playing the beta version of the game, occasionally issuing debugging
instructions into her headset.

“Let's go.”
Only then did Cedric notice the luggage near the door. His confusion intensified.

Lillian and Ryan lifted the luggage and followed her. Outside, the sound of an airplane engine revving up filled
the air, the rumble resembling thunder. Panic gripped Cedric’s heart. He sensed that if he didn’t clarify things
now, he could lose her forever.
He hurried after Daniela, desperate to join her on the plane. But she halted him. She removed her earbuds and
faced him.
“I have to go abroad for work. It’s not convenient for you to come. Besides, you wouldn't be comfortable staying
here alone while we're away. Just return to your own home.”
Cedric’s eyes reddened instantly, his voice cracking as he pleaded, “You're not lettingcwith you
anymore?”
Daniela offered a faint smile, her expression gentle yet distant.
“Why would you want to cwith me, Cedric? You have your own company, and | have my responsibilities.
You were never obligated to stay by my side.”
“No, that's not it!” Cedric’s voice was frantic, his composure shattered. He was overwhelmed, his words tumbling
out in a desperate scramble.
“There's no scandal. That actress is my cousin—I’m not backing anyone! And the money | transferred to Caiden
—I didn’t mean to deceive you. | just didn’t want you to be hurt.”
He took a shaky breath, struggling to articulate his plea.
“Daniela, I'll heed your advice from now on. | swear—this is the first and last time. I'll never keep anything from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou again.” In a last-ditch effort, Cedric reached out and clutched the hem of Daniela’s coat, his hands
trembling.
“Please don’t leave me.”
The roar of the airplane reverberated across the heavens.
Cedric remained rooted to the spot.
Alexander sauntered over, hands tucked in his pockets, eyes tracing the ascent of the plane.
He was about to unleash a snarky comment when Cedric cut him off sharply.
