?Chapter 79:


    Keith, full of excitement, nudged Alexander’s elbow and whispered with enthusiasm, “Here shees! See? I told you she still has feelings for you. Alexander, your charm is unmatched.”


    Alexander kept his expression unreadable, but inside, his heart was racing in a way he hadn’t felt in years.


    He had already thought it over. If Dani showed even a hint of remorse, he’d consider forgiving her.


    But then, Dani spoke.


    “Lillian.”


    “That one word shattered all the hope Alexander had been clinging to.


    Keith froze, momentarily taken aback, before ncing at Alexander. His face had darkened so intensely that it seemed like a storm was on the verge of erupting.


    Keith couldn’t hold back hisughter.


    “Alexander, don’t tell me you thought she wasing over here for you? This is too funny!” Keith was practically shaking with amusement.


    Alexander, who was usually soposed and confident, was now beingpletely disregarded by the same woman who had once chased after him.


    When Dani had been obsessed with him, constantly amodating his every whim, people mocked her for being desperate. But secretly, many envied Alexander.


    He had soaked in that admiration, his confidence reaching new heights.


    Your escape begins at g?lnσν???s


    Now, watching him be so tantly ignored, Keith felt a sense of smug satisfaction.


    Alexander, however, paid no attention to Keith’sughter. He rxed in his chair, grabbed his phone, and started scrolling, his face nk and hard to read.


    The night went on, but Dani never once nced in his direction, let alone made an effort to approach him. Alexander, on his part, wasn’t about to go to her either.


    As the g neared its end, his pent-up anger reached a breaking point. But with no way to release it, he simply sat there in silence until the event finally came to an end.


    Joyce couldn’t keep her frustration in check any longer.


    The g was almost over, and Alexander still hadn’t made a move to talk to Dani.


    Although she didn’t care much for Dani, she was very interested in the building Dani owned.


    She sat next to Alexander, her voice filled with jealousy.


    “Alexander, look at Dani acting so superior, just because she has money, strutting around like she’s the queen of the world with all those people around her.”


    Joyce meant to mock Dani, but her words sounded incredibly bitter instead.


    Even Keith, who was nearby, couldn’t hold back augh.


    “If you had the talent, you could act just as confident.”


    Joyce pouted, her face flushed with anger, but the truth of his words left her momentarily speechless. Swallowing her irritation, she silently directed all the me at Dani for the embarrassment she felt.


    Ignoring Keith, she turned to Alexander and pleaded, “When are you going to talk to Dani? My boutique’s been shut down for weeks now. The stock’s going bad in storage! I’m losing a fortune. I need that prime spot to open up again.”


    Keith stared at Joyce in disbelief.


    “Are you serious? You’ve got the audacity to ask her for that? Forget everything else for a moment—didn’t you already ruin Dani and Alexander’s wedding? And now, you’re asking her for a shop space? I never realized you could be this shameless.”
