?Chapter 166:


    This was how things had always gone.


    No matter how ridiculous Alexander’s requests were, Dani would always cave in.


    This time, it was just a contract—hardly a challenge for Dani to refuse.


    The idea of Dani bing his daughter-inw again brought Richard a great sense of satisfaction.


    Once Dani remarried Alexander, Elite Lux would bepletely under his control. She would stay at home, raising kids and supporting her husband, while Alexander would take over Elite Lux gradually. By the time she noticed, Elite Lux would already be entirely in the hands of the Bet family.


    At that point, who couldpete with Bet Group in the entire country?


    Richard had been eagerly awaiting this moment for so long.


    He chuckled to himself, but hisughter was cut short when the front door suddenly swung open, and Alexander stepped inside.


    Still smiling, Richard looked at him and asked, “When are you heading to Elite Lux to sign the contract?”


    Alexander, frustrated, yanked at his tie as he exined what had happened.


    Richard’s brow furrowed as he quickly asked, “After you yelled all that, how did Dani react?”


    Alexander’s eyes dropped, his mind still racing with confusion and panic.


    Every chapter lives on g a lno vels ;m


    “She ignored me. I’m not even sure if she heard me.” Dani had changed so much.


    In the past, her emotions were always clear, easy for him to read. Now, he couldn’t even tell what she was feeling, let alone her thoughts.


    Richard squinted, his voice low.


    “Then she’s still unsure. I’ll figure something out.”


    Alexander’s grip tightened as he reyed the image of Dani in the corridor over and over, feeling helpless to change anything.


    She must have seen right through him. Otherwise, why would she be so distant and cold?


    Richard took a long drag from his cigarette before turning to Alexander.


    “The secret spot in the tree Dani talked about… Was it at the Harper family’s vi?”


    Alexander gave a brief nod.


    Richard fell silent for a moment, then spoke.


    “Since that’s where everything happened, there might still be clues there. Dani’s room could have some traces left. No one else ispeting for the role of the boy from that year, so if you say the right things, you can win her over!” Even if Alexander couldn’t convince her, at least she wouldn’tpletely reject him.


    Alexander needed to act quickly and remarry her before Dani realized everything.


    After remarriage, everything would be much simpler. Her assets would be Alexander’s, and the Bet family could take control. Having made up his mind, Richard quickly reached out to Katrina, telling her that he wanted to pay them a visit.


    Katrina, excited by the unexpected news, assumed Richard wasing to talk about the marriage between Alexander and Joyce. She was thrilled by the thought of it and eagerly opened the door, ready to wee the Bet family with open arms.


    Joyce shifted ufortably on the couch.
