?Chapter 15:


    “It’s truly sad. After her mother’s passing, Dani has lost her father too. And let’s be honest, would Joyce have dared such boldness if Caiden hadn’t spoiled her?”


    “Don’t forget Alexander! His own wife was unjustly med, yet he sided with the one who lit the fire. What’s happening between Joyce and Alexander, anyway?”


    “Despicable man!”


    As the torrent of online vitriol continued, someone abruptly shared an image.


    Disyed was the divorce certificate of Alexander and Dani. Underneath the photo, the consensus in thements was clear.


    “Justice is served!”


    Alexander perused the trending topics on his smartphone, his expression turning thunderous.


    With a forceful thud, he hurled the phone onto the table and barked at his secretary, “What is the PR team even up to? Why wasn’t I alerted before this scandal broke? These headlines have just sshed across the globe, and no one intervened?”


    The secretary, with a lowered gaze, responded tentatively, “Mr. Bet, these topics surged unexpectedly. Our team is actively addressing it. It appears hackers instigated this, and we’ve yet to neutralize it. The tech team is on it, and we anticipate a resolution shortly.”


    Alexander scoffed bitterly.


    “It would be resolved shortly? Not instantly, not immediately, but shortly? By that time, the whole nation had witnessed it.”


    “Dani, you’ve truly cornered me this time,” he sneered under his breath, his anger barely contained.

    Since she dared to cross the line like this, forgiveness would be a luxury she’d never see from him.


    As for rejoining the Bet family? She’d better forget it—that door was mmed shut for good.


    His rage simmered to a boil.


    He positioned himself by the panoramic window, his stare icy and piercing. His brows knit tightly together, his whole presence exuding a forbidding, frosty aura.


    He was on the verge of telling his secretary to call Dani when his phone buzzed insistently in his pocket.


    It was his father.


    With a sense of foreboding, Alexander answered the call, only to be greeted by a barrage of anger.


    “Alexander! Has Dani gone absolutely insane? Everyone is badgering me about whether you’ve dumped Dani to fool around with her stepsister! Where the hell is Dani? I don’t give a damn what you have to do—get those damn posts deleted now!”


    Alexander’s voice remainedposed.


    “I understand.”


    His father, Richard Bet, was far from pacified.


    “Tell Dani she’s out of her goddamn mind if she thinks I’ll ever forgive her for this!” The call terminated with an abrupt click, leaving a heavier frown on Alexander’s face. Now Dani had truly incited Richard’s wrath. It seemed she was courting disaster.


    Alexander resolved then and there that she was on her own. No more would he be her protector—not now, not ever.


    Today, Dani had truly stirred up a storm.
