?Chapter 128:


    Dani stood there, cradling a wine ss. For the briefest of moments, a subtle shadow of sadness flickered across her features, almost as if a forgotten memory had surfaced. But in the blink of an eye, it vanished, reced by a smile that was as smooth and practiced as ever.


    “Oh really? Well, Mr. Bet is clearly out of my league. I wouldn’t dare aim so high.”


    With that, she spun on her heel and walked off.


    Watching her leave, Joyce felt triumphant. She slipped into the seat Keith had left and started ranting to Alexander, whining about how Dani had mistreated her by making her the toilet director.


    As Joyce continued her chatter, Alexander’s expression grew colder. His frosty demeanor made her hesitate. After a moment, she excused herself and left.


    Keith returned to his seat beside Alexander and let out a deep sigh.


    “You know, Alexander, that was a bit harsh. No matter what Dani did before, it was because she cared about you. The world has already used her feelings against her. But for you, someone she once cared about, to pile on? That’s low. And she’s a woman—women tend to be more sensitive. Maybe you should think about apologizing to her.”


    Alexander clenched his wine ss, his eyes locked on Dani, who was now across the roomughing with Cedric.


    “Apologize? For what? I just spoke the truth. No matter how sessful she gets, she can’t stop people from saying what’s true, can she?”


    Keith’s sigh was heavy with exasperation as he shook his head.

    “Stay stubborn if that’s what you want. Let’s see how long that pride of yourssts when reality hits.”


    As the g drew to a close, Alexander couldn’t help but monitor Dani’s every move. His car followed hers, maintaining a distance.


    Inside Dani’s vehicle, her driver peered into the rearview mirror and noted, “Ms. Harper, there’s a car that’s been tailing us since you got in.”


    Dani turned her head slightly, her piercing eyes quickly recognizing the familiar car—it was Alexander’s. Rxing into her seat, she instructed in a steady voice, “Just ignore it.”


    The two cars wove through the city streets in a quiet pursuit, finallying to a halt outside the imposing Luxor Tower. Just as Dani stepped out, Alexander intercepted her.


    She raised her weary eyes to meet his gaze. Despite the fatigue weighing on her, she remained poised.


    “Mr. Bet, do you need something from me?”


    He tailed her car relentlessly, shadowing her all the way to the office building.


    “You and Cedric are not right for each other,” he dered bluntly. Raising an eyebrow, Dani responded, “Don’t you have more important things to attend to?”


    His lips pressed into a thin line as his eyes widened slightly, struggling to mask his disbelief.


    Dani pressed on, her tone dripping with challenge.


    “Or have you really be so unupied that you stoop to meddling in your ex-wife’s affairs? Haven’t you ever heard the saying, ‘The best kind of ex is one you never hear from again’?”


    Alexander’s face grew stern, his jaw clenching with quiet intensity. The thought of herughter mingling with Cedric’s ignited a sharp, unbidden irritation within him.


    “Alright then. If you insist on being stubborn, just remember not toe crying to me when things go wrong. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
