?Chapter 89:
Finally satisfied, she let out a deep breath and smiled.
“Nope.”
Dani had wrapped up her tasks for the day. Fresh from the shower, she reached for her phone on the nightstand and nced at the screen. There was still no response from Caiden.
With a subtle frown, she opened her news app, only to find the same trending topic dominating the headlines. Curious, she tapped on the link, and a video loaded almost instantly.
The scene unfolded. Joyce, perched on a table at a bar, danced with wild abandon to the pulsing beat of the music. Behind her hung a banner.
“Congrattions to Joyce Holt for Obtaining Floors 18th-20th of Luxor Tower!”
Dani stared at the video, momentarily speechless. After a deep breath, she forwarded the video to Caiden, intending to remind him once again.
But just as she hit send, a small notification appeared on her screen, reminding her that she had been blocked.
Dani froze for a moment, her gaze fixed on the notification. Then, she ced the phone back on the bedside table, turned off the light, and slipped into bed.
A party was in full swing at the bar. The booming music vibrated through the walls.
A crowd encircled Joyce,vishing her with praise.
“Joyce, you’re incredible! Please, look out for me in the future! If you could just let me use a little corner of your studio to sell essential oils, I’d be set for life!”

“Hey, who said you could call dibs first? Joyce, we’re friends. Don’t forget about me! You’ve got three whole floors. Let me open a shop on one! When I hit it big, I’ll split the profits with you!”
“Truly, Joyce is something else! Just her presence outshines girls from half the wealthy families here!”
“Exactly! You guys don’t even know how much Caiden cares for her. He spoils her rotten!”
“Yeah, so what if she disrupted Dani’s wedding and snagged her man? Even though Dani heads Elite Lux now, she still has to cede those floors to you. And we’re not talking about just any floors—these are premium, top-tier spots! Joyce, you’re living the dream!”
With that, Joyce shed a smug grin.
“Of course. My family adores me the most. And Dani? She’s irrelevant. All of the Harper family’s assets will end up with me eventually. Even the projects Dani’s pouring her heart into now—those will be mine, too. Dad always says that meeting me and my mom was the best thing in his life. We brought a joy to his world that he never knew before. He even says that every time he sees Dani, he’s reminded of her mother and feels utterly repulsed. So what if Dani puts on a tough front? She’s nothingpared to me!”
The crowd erupted in cheers, raising their sses in a toast.
“A toast to Joyce! The future head of the Harper family!”
Joyce raised her ss high, herughter booming through the room.
“Cheers!”
This raucous moment was caught on video and quickly went viral online.
That night, Joyce racked up over four million dors in charges at the bar.
When Caiden saw the credit card alert, he was astounded, leaping from his bed in disbelief.
Convinced the card had been stolen, he immediately phoned the police. Meanwhile, Joyce was slowlying to, groggily trying to sit up from the couch.
