Chapter 364
Chapter 364:
Alexander felt both irritated and bitter. He watched Cedric follow her upstairs, then turned his head away. He
scoffed internally, dismissing the thought of pursuing a woman like her, convinced that only a man lacking
ambition would do such a thing.
Daniela took a shower and, unusually, didn’t go downstairs afterward.
Exhausted from her flight, she sprawled on the sofa, absorbed in the documents from the recently acquired Al
development company.
Daniela had dreamed since her childhood of building a smart hwhere everything responded to voice
commands.
The curtains would open with a blink.
A mere glance at the food would cook it.

By lifting a foot, the room would clean itself.
Robots were to adjust the indoor lighting and display work on the TV screen through brainwave signals.
The entire hwould operate fully automated, needing no manual inputs and being completely intelligent.
Daniela was captivated by this idea and had even bought a research lab to develop this technology, aiming to
introduce it in wealthy neighborhoods.
She was deeply engrossed in these materials and didn’t notice Lillian walking past her door, her voice floating in.

Opening the door, Daniela found Cedric standing there, his head bowed. She was unsure of how long he had

Daniela, puzzled, opened them.
At that moment, Caiden, Katrina, and Joyce came. Katrina exclaimed, “Wow! These are the items from tonight's
auction, valued at two billion! So the mysterious affluent buyer was you, Cedric! You intend to give these to
Daniela?”
Stunned by such lavishness, Katrina felt a surge of envy. Two billion just for a bracelet and a brooch! Katrina's
eyes turned green with envy.
Cedric, wealthy and magnanimous, contrasted sharply with Alexander, who had once given half a million and
later demanded it back. Cedric truly shone like a star.
No wonder everyone regarded Cedric as the genuine article, a truly eligible bachelor! It was no overstatement.
Katrina gazed at Cedric intensely, her desire evident, wishing she could be the one to marry him.
“Cedric, you are indeed generous.” Joyce was mesmerized by the sparkling green stones, feeling her worldview

Joyce was clearly impressed. Who wouldn't admire such dazzling objects?
Without a moment's hesitation, Daniela snapped the boxes shut, shielding them from covetous eyes, and
handed them back to Cedric.

Cedric had yet to speak when Joyce's voice cut through the air.
