?Chapter 190:


    “Would it be too much trouble for you to retrieve it for me?” Dani asked Caiden, her voice carrying a frosty note.


    Caiden’s response came quickly, apanied by a fervent nod.


    “Certainly. I’ll go fetch it right away.”


    Katrina, who had been observing from a short distance, squinted her eyes in suspicion, scrutinizing Caiden’s apparent zeal. Something about his demeanor seemed decidedly peculiar.


    With a purposeful stride, Caiden ascended the stairs.


    Meanwhile, Peyton, unfazed by the slight rejection, offered Dani a reassuring smile.


    “Dani, don’t hesitate. Remember, you’ll always belong with the Harper family. One day, all of this will be yours.”


    Dani remained indifferent to the allure of the Harper family’s fortune.


    Elite Lux’s three-month revenue was so staggering that they could have bought the Harper family outright.


    Disinterested in their trivial disputes, she stood at the doorway, waiting for Caiden to return with her sketchbook.


    Peyton chuckled.


    “You’ve really taken after your mother—stubborn to the core. However, a young woman like yourself can’t afford to be this way forever. Therees a time when you must learn to lean on others. Believe me, life gets a lot easier when you’re not trying to juggle everything on your own. I recently met Alexander. He’s quite tall, strikingly handsome, and moves with an air of confidence. Word is, their family business is flourishing. Should you choose to join their family, they might even lend their expertise in managing yourpany. Here’s a bit of advice—there’s no need for a woman to prove she’s overly capable. At times, it’s wiser to let others take the lead. Consider your mother—she toiled relentlessly, but to what end? After her passing, all her hard-earned gains simply lined the pockets of those who hardly deserved it.

    You should delegate more. Let the men in the family handle some things. Speaking of which, your uncles are not only skilled but they’re family too. Cutting ties with Caiden doesn’t change who you are—you’re still family. So, about helping your uncles with their jobs—you’ll do it, won’t you? With your sess, it’s the perfect time to step up and help. Ronald’s managed to buy a new home, though he’s still struggling with the mortgage.”


    Ronald’s eyes sparkled with a mix of gratitude and urgency.


    “Exactly, Mom! We’re still stuck with over two million in debt to deal with!”


    “And Wyatt.


    You haven’t purchased a car yet, have you?”


    Wyatt quickly responded, “That’s correct, Mom. But I’ve set my sights on a limited-edition supercar—priced just a bit over ten million!” Ronald beamed with anticipation, eximing, “Mom, I’d like one too! My car’s practically falling apart. And you know, our little house just isn’t big enough for us anymore. Dani, if you could get us another one, that’d be absolutely incredible!”


    Peyton nodded with approval.


    “Absolutely. With Dani raking in the cash these days, it’s only fair she lends a hand to her family. Dani, you really should take care of your nieces’ and nephews’ school fees as well.”


    Ronald chimed in, “Mom, the kids have been dreaming of studying at an international school.”


    Peyton quickly concurred, “Yes, definitely!”


    Ronald cast a cautious nce towards Dani and whispered, “But keep in mind, it’s costly—millions per year. And if they go overseas for college, we’re talking over ten million for each child.”
