?Chapter 155:


    Lillian replied, “Dani said Alexander could go to hell!” In an instant, Cedric’s face lit up with a broad grin.


    He leapt to his feet, his mood visibly lifting. Marco, who had been observing him closely, caught the sudden shift. Just moments ago, Cedric had been restless. Now, he radiated a surge of determination and vitality.


    Marco raised an eyebrow, puzzled.


    “What’s up?”


    Cedric stretched, his joints popping satisfyingly.


    “Time to take on the world for my princess!”


    Marco couldn’t help but smile at Cedric’s enthusiasm, which was downright contagious.


    As Cedric dashed toward the construction site, Marco shouted after him, “Don’t forget to send me an invite to your wedding with her!” Cedric’sughter boomed across the bustling site, full of life and promise.


    “Deal!”


    In the midst of the chaos, Cedric’s assistant maneuvered around heaps of steel and concrete, his armsden with documents.


    He was baffled at how Cedric seemed so much more content here, amid the disarray of the construction site, than in the tranquility of his plush office.


    At Elite Lux,

    Lillian copsed onto Dani’s desk with a dramatic ir, her chin propped on her folded arms.


    “Are you seriously going to just brush off Alexander like that?”


    Dani nced up from the paperwork in her hand, one eyebrow arching in skepticism.


    “Do you honestly think I’ve lost my senses?” Dani had zero interest in rehashing old grievances with Alexander or considering the North District project as some sort ofpensation for bygone favors.


    What could he possibly do if she refused? Take legal action?


    Lillian asked, “So, what about the past? The sketches and all that… Are you really ready to dismiss it all?”


    During Dani’s previous, infatuationden phase, Lillian had been genuinely rmed, dreading that Dani might surrender the North District project to Alexander out of some residual affection. Such a decision would crush Cedric.


    To Lillian’s relief, Dani seemed more rational and detached than ever.


    With a nonchnt shrug, Dani dismissed the concerns.


    “Forget about it. Anyway, we’ve got to visit the North District site this afternoon. I need to oversee the progress myself. It’s going to be Elite Lux’s gship domestic branch, so it has to be wless.”


    Lillian opened her mouth to reply when suddenly, the sharp ring of the secretary’s call interrupted them.


    “Miss Harper, two gentlemen asserting they’re your uncles have arrived. One calls himself Ronald, the other Wyatt. In the brief ten minutes since their arrival, they’ve managed to clear out the snack tray in the lounge. Actually, they’ve shoved snacks into their pockets.”


    Dani’s brow furrowed in annoyance.


    “Inform them I’m tied up in a meeting. I’m unavable today.”
