?Chapter 120:


    Feeling cornered, Caiden bit back his growing irritation. He had no choice but to proceed.


    “Joyce is your sister.


    You’re the CEO of Elite Lux, with numerous positions at your disposal. Surely, it wouldn’t be hard to find her a ce—a director’s role, nothing too extreme.”


    Dani locked eyes with the man in front of her. Once, she had seen him as her father, the one person closest to her, the one she had trusted without question.


    But now, as she looked at him, anger had faded, leaving behind something much deeper.


    When disappointment cuts that deep, it consumes all other feelings. Dani spoke quietly, as if offering Caiden, and herself, onest chance to hold on to whatever was left of their family bond.


    “I can set up a position for Joyce within thepany. In her department, she’ll have full authority. Once I make a promise, I always keep it.


    You don’t have to worry.”


    As she finished, her secretary moved forward, but Dani raised her hand, signaling that she had everything handled.


    The secretary hesitated, ncing quickly at Cedric, who was still sitting nearby. His calm eyes were fixed on Dani, his face showing quiet trust and solid support.


    Across from her, both Katrina and Caiden wore expressions of visible excitement.


    The idea of Joyce, once just a shopkeeper, now rising to a position of power within Elite Lux, was something they had never even dared to imagine. It was a win they were eager to celebrate. Moreover, with Joyce under Dani’s wing, if anything went wrong with her down the line, they’d have someone to answer for it.

    Maybe Joyce could pick up some useful skills, or even better, “borrow” some of Elite Lux’s trade secrets. Perhaps starting her ownpany one day wouldn’t be such an unrealistic goal after all. At the very least, she would have some stability, and if any problems arose, they could always point the finger at Dani.


    Caiden’s grin stretched even wider, his relief clear as day. He couldn’t hide his satisfaction.


    “But I do have one condition,” Dani said slowly, her tone calm and even as she locked eyes with the three greedy smiles staring back at her.


    Caiden and Katrina were absolutely thrilled.


    “Of course, go ahead and tell us what it is,” Caiden said, practically bouncing with excitement.


    Katrina quickly added, “As long as it’s not too much to ask, we’ll agree to it. Dani, atst, you’re doing something that truly matters for this family!”


    Dani spoke slowly, making sure each word hit with precision.


    “I want to officially cut ties with Caiden.”


    Caiden froze, his smile faltering as his face hardened with disbelief. Dani pressed on, “And not just in name. I want aplete, legally binding termination of this rtionship.”


    As she said this, she raised her hand, signaling for her legal team to take action. One of them stepped forward, holding out a set of documents that had clearly been prepared in advance.


    “Sign these, and then have Joyce deliver them to me. Once everything’s in order, her position at Elite Lux will be confirmed without dy.”


    Caiden received the documents, his expression unreadable as he took hold of them. He thumbed through the papers. Dani’s request was simple: she sought to sever all ties with the Harper family. Beyond that, she demanded nothing.


    It wasn’t exactly a shock. Considering the robust financial stability of Elite Lux, Dani likely had little interest in the modest Harper Group.


    Yet, Caiden fell into a brief silence. He looked at Dani, then at the lobby around them.
