?Chapter 87:


    “Tonight is my night, and from now on, those two floors will be our exclusive gathering spot! To celebrate, the entire bar’s drinks are on me! Everything’s on me tonight!”


    The music surged louder as the crowd erupted into a frenzy of celebration.


    That night, Joyce’s extravagant gesture cleared out the bar’s entire stock of alcohol.


    By morning, word of her wild promation had spread like wildfire across Olisvine.


    By morning, everyone was buzzing about Joyce, who was supposedly opening her boutique on the 18th floor of the Luxor Tower.


    The news spread so quickly that it even hit the trending headlines.


    At that moment, Lillian and Josie were lounging on the couch, engrossed in a mobile game.


    When the article popped up on Lillian’s phone, sheughed so hard she nearly rolled off the cushions.


    Just then, Dani entered the room. She paused, noticing Josie rubbing Lillian’s stomach, trying to help her catch her breath fromughing too much.


    Dani tilted her head, smiling with curiosity.


    “What’s so funny?”


    Lillian, still gasping for air, waved her phone at Dani, motioning for her to take a look.


    L?t?st ?h??pt?rs ιn g??lnovе???.??????


    Dani took the phone and skimmed the screen, her expression shifting to one of incredulity.


    Lillian asked, “Has Joycepletely lost her mind? Didn’t you tell her the only avable space was the basement by the restroom? How on earth did it turn into the 18th to 20th floors? And the space wasn’t even renovated. Now she’s out there announcing the grand opening is tomorrow! What’s she nning to do? Host guests in the storage room? Or better yet—the restroom? I have to share this with the Elite Lux group chat. They’re going to dieughing!”


    She grabbed her phone, typing rapidly between giggles.


    Meanwhile, Josie walked over to Dani, gesturing towards the table where some food had been set out for her. Dani nodded and sat down, picking up her fork.


    As Josie passed behind her, she caught a glimpse of Dani typing out a message on her phone.


    Dani was drafting a text to Caiden, reminding him to inform Joyce of the truth—that the space was the basement restroom, hadn’t been renovated, and required a deposit to secure.


    Dani hit send, setting her phone down as she began eating. When she nced up, she noticed Josie staring at her with a concerned expression.


    Dani asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”


    Josie’s heart ached as she watched Dani. Here was a young woman who had grown up without anyone truly caring for her, yet she had emerged so strong, sopassionate.


    Caiden had forced his own daughter to fend for herself, whilevishing affection on a spoiled, self-centered brat like Joyce. It was beyondprehension.


    “Here, eat this,” Josie said gently, pushing a dish closer to Dani.


    “You’re so young, yet you’ve had to bear so much already.


    You’re remarkable. If your mother were here, she would be incredibly proud of you. But, my dear, a girl can’t rely on herself all the time. Being strong is admirable, but it’s also exhausting. I can’t do much to ease your burdens, but I can cook. If there’s ever anything you want to eat, just tell me.


    You’ve been staying up sote recently; you should go to bed early.


    Young women need to take care of their health, especially if they want a happy future and to find the right partner someday.”


    Dani’s lips curved into a faint smile.
