?Chapter 80:


    Joyce’s face turned bright red with fury. She put her hands on her hips and shot back, “What’s it to you? Get out of here!” Her voice was cutting, and she red at Keith like she could tear him apart.


    Keith rolled his eyes and stood up, shaking his head in disbelief. Before walking away, he leaned down close to Alexander and muttered, “Alexander, your taste in women is awful.


    You gave up Dani for this? You’ve really made a huge mistake.”


    With that, he turned and walked off, leaving Alexander sitting there, his expression dark and full of frustration.


    “Alexander,” Joyce said, her voice softening as she put on a pleading look.


    “I know Dani can’t stand me, but I really need this space. Can you talk to her? She always listens to you. If you ask, she’ll definitely say yes. Please!”


    Alexander’s eyes drifted to Dani, standing off to the side, surrounded by admirers. After a long moment of hesitation, he said coldly, “Fine.”


    Just as the g was wrapping up and Dani was about to leave, a voice suddenly called out to her.


    She turned around to see Alexander and Joyce approaching her.


    Alexander wore a serious expression, while Joyce walked with her head held high. To anyone watching, it would almost look like Dani owed them everything.


    Without a word, Alexander led Joyce forward.

    Dani stayed calm, saying nothing as she locked her eyes on them. For some reason, the cold indifference in her expression sparked immediate irritation in Alexander.


    There was a time when Dani had followed him around, hanging on every word, always eager to please. But now, the roles had reversed, and she couldn’t even be bothered to mask her impatience with him. Joyce, unable to stay quiet any longer, spoke up.


    “Dani, Alexander wants to talk to you.”


    Dani stood tall with an air of grace. Even with her aloof expression, her beauty was impossible to ignore.


    She raised her hand, signaling him.


    “Go ahead.” Alexander’s face grew even more tense.


    This was the new Dani—distant and unreachable. Her attitude was beginning to wear on him.


    If she was going to act like this, he wasn’t about to make things easier for her.


    He definitely wasn’t going to put himself out to help her with the city redevelopment project his father had spoken about.


    No constructionpany in Olisvine could rival the Bet family’s level of expertise.


    Without their involvement, thend Dani had recently acquired would remain unused.


    These thoughts only added to his irritation, and his voice became more pointed.


    “I need to talk to you.


    You choose the location.” Dani almost burst outughing at his words.


    Was this really how he approached someone for a conversation?


    Without saying a word, she turned and walked away, leaving Alexander and Joyce standing there,pletely stunned.


    “You…” Joyce couldn’t hold back her frustration as Dani’s car pulled away, the exhaust fumes sweeping over them. Turning to Alexander, she demanded, “Alexander, did I just see that right? Did I hear you correctly? You literally told Dani you wanted to talk, and that’s how she responded? She just walked away without even looking back. How could she be so rude?”


    The initial shock on Alexander’s face quickly morphed into simmering rage as he pulled himself together.
