?Chapter 27:


    “It must be! Didn’t you catch the location in the background? That’s the iconic tower in Olisvine! Who else but the CEO of Elite Lux could be involved with such andmark?”


    “Dani certainly moves in impressive circles if she’s acquainted with someone like the CEO of Elite Lux!”


    “Dani looks breathtaking today. Did anyone else see her ensemble? It’s the newest limited edition from Elite Lux. Absolutely stunning, though the price tag is astronomical.”


    “Indeed, does anyone know how much it costs? I’m tempted myself!”


    “I do! The whole outfit runs over a million—not even counting the heels Dani was sporting. But let’s be honest, the exquisite craftsmanship and design of Elite Lux are worth every penny.”


    “They’re entering the domestic market soon. With some luck, the prices will be far more essible. I’m thrilled at the thought of finally wearing a luxurybel myself!”


    The conversation shifted away from Joyce’s allegations, centering instead on Dani’s stunning beauty and grace.


    Fuming with frustration as her conspiracy crumbled, Joyce barked at the camera, “Listen—don’t be swayed by such twisted values! Dani’s just a climber, hanging on the coattails of the influential! She’s even been forsaken by her own father!”


    Meanwhile, Dani remained beside the expansive window, her demeanorposed. A beam of sunlight sliced through the gloom, spotlighting her and casting an ethereal glow.


    A torrent of eager, heartfeltments overflowed across the screen.

    “Wow! She looks simply divine!”


    Joyce’s gazended on Dani, and for a moment, she was transfixed by her luminous presence. Regaining herposure, she marched up and spat out usatorily, “Dani! What filthy schemes did you pull to sink your ws into the CEO of Elite Lux? You’re just a gutter rat dressed in stolen silk!”


    Dani’sughter was light but resonant. Gazing into Joyce’s twisted, angry face, she replied with a calm, mocking smile, “Why not gaze into a mirror and see who truly resembles an ugly gutter rat?”


    She entuated “ugly” in a biting tone, her words slicing through the tension.


    Joyce’s face flushed a fiery red. From the moment Katrina introduced her into the Harper family, endlessparisons to Dani shadowed her every move. Over and over, they deemed her no match for Dani’s charm. It was intolerable for her.


    et the stark truth was unavoidable. Her protests only underscored her desperation.


    Her appearance, a tender sore spot that haunted her endlessly, became Dani’s cruel weapon, viciously twisted to publicly disgrace her and deepen the wounds she already carried.


    Engulfed by fury, Joyce was on the brink of exploding. Right when she was about to retaliate, the elevator doors parted with a whoosh.


    Spotting someone through the opening, Joyce turned to Alexander, her voice filled with anticipation.


    “Alexander, 100k! There’s Joshua Dennis—the one I’ve been talking about. He’s connected to the CEO of Elite Lux. He’s about to uncover Dani as the imposter she truly is.” Joyce then confidently pointed her livestream camera towards Joshua, waving at him with a radiant smile.


    “Joshua…”


    However, Joshua tantly ignored her and walked straight to Dani. shing a polite smile, he gave a slight bow.
