?Chapter 191:


    The family had five children to consider.


    A fund of seventy to eighty million wouldn’t be amiss—it took a fortune to provide the finest for one’s children. Ronald’s thoughts drifted towards the ambitious future he envisioned.


    Peyton, steadfast in her resolve, proimed, “Yes, that will do!” She then turned to Ronald’s wife, adding, “You’re fortunate to have Dani’s support. With such great opportunities, don’t hold back. Expand the Harper family—Dani can handle it!”


    Peyton’s authoritative tone rang out, causing Ronald and Wyatt to grin like fools as she piled on ridiculous demands for Dani.


    Inside, Ronald’s child was practically leaping with excitement.


    “I’m going abroad!”


    Katrina observed from a distance.


    Dani stood poised at the doorway, waiting for Caiden’s return with the sketchbook.


    Noticing Dani’s quiet demeanor, Peyton frowned slightly and pressed her lips together in mild annoyance.


    “Dani, you’re awfully quiet. What’s the matter? You’re not having second thoughts, are you? Remember, you’re a Harper. A little expense shouldn’t make you bat an eyelid.”


    But Dani remained silent, her expression unchanged.


    Peyton’s frustration grew, and she bit her lip, feeling a twinge of guilt for her past harshness toward Dani.

    “Alexander is willing to remarry you. Can’t you manage a smile for that?”


    At these words, Dani struggled to contain her emotions.


    “To begin with, I never sought your intervention. Furthermore, I’ve severed all ties with the Bet family, so kindly refrain from involving yourself.”


    Katrina, who had been listening, nearly burst intoughter.


    Irritated by the exchange, Peyton’s face darkened, and she abruptly pped Dani’s hand.


    The p was sharp enough to leave Dani’s hand visibly reddened.


    Dani barely flinched, her eyes remaining locked on the staircase, ignoring the sting on her hand.


    Caiden had yet to make an appearance.


    From the corridor, his voice resounded, calling out, “Josie! Could you help me look for Dani’s sketchbook? It seems to have vanished.”


    To everyone in the family, it was clear that the sketchbook was Dani’s most treasured item.


    The absence of it sent a wave of anxiety crashing over Caiden.


    Josie hastened upstairs and began an extended search.


    Peyton craned her neck, her voiceced with concern.


    “What’s happening? Why is this taking so long?”


    Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Dani stormed inside.


    A throng of curious onlookers trailed behind her, all crowding into her tiny room.


    A mere ten minutester, every corner of Dani’s room had been upended.


    “Where could it be?” Dani demanded, her tone icy and her expression steely.


    Caiden, not giving up, turned to Josie once more.


    “Any idea where it is?”
