?Chapter 210:


    Richard’s tireless efforts to win over Dani were falling t, despite all the time, money, and energy he’d poured into the attempt. Theck of progress gnawed at Alexander, leaving him with an uneasy restlessness he couldn’t shake.


    He remained there until the first light of dawn crept over the city, then finally got back into his car and drove off to check out the plots ofnd in the South and East Districts. Richard hadn’t been exaggerating—these plotsbined were massive, easily over five times the size of the North District. Securing them woulde with an astronomical price tag, running into tens of billions.


    Alexander couldn’t help but admit that Dani’s wealth and influence were nothing short of extraordinary. As Alexander stared at the vastnd before him, his phone suddenly buzzed.


    It was his secretary calling.


    “Mr. Bet, you’re trending online.”


    Alexander’s brow furrowed.


    “Is this about my father being taken to the hospital yesterday?”


    “Actually, no. It’s about you standing outside Elite Luxst night. Someone caught it on camera, and it’s gone viral his morning.


    “Do you want us to have it removed?” After a brief pause, Alexander replied evenly, “No, leave it. There’s no need.”


    Ending the call, he nced at his watch. Dani should be up by now. Had shee across the viral post yet? Would it stir something in her heart?


    The first light of morning found Dani face-to-face with Lillian.

    She stood by the door, tablet in hand, peering at Dani with a curious look.


    Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Dani greeted her,


    “Good morning.”


    “Did you catch the trending topic this morning?”


    Dani stretched out, leisurely taking in the morning air.


    “No, I haven’t.”


    Between juggling major deals and the recent acquisitions in the South and East Districts, she hadn’t had a moment to check her phone.


    “You’re such a rebel against modern habits! Most people grab their phones the moment they wake up,” Lillian teased.


    Dani chuckled, continuing to stretch her limbs.


    “Anything interesting going on?”


    “Yes, there is. The number one trending topic is Alexander standing outside Elite Luxst night, smoking away the entire night!”


    Dani replied nonchntly, “Is he eyeing the building? We can move out and let him bid for it.”


    “Dani! He’s interested in you!” Lillian eximed, her voice filled with concern.


    Even though nearly six months had passed, Lillian couldn’t shake her worries about the possibility of Dani and Alexander reigniting their old me.


    They had shared ten years together.


    After all, how many decades did one have in a lifetime?


    It was hard for most people to let go of a rtionship that hadsted that long, and Lillian wasn’t sure if either of them could truly move on.


    Dani gave a rxed smile, ready to head to the dining room for breakfast, when Lillian suddenly gasped, “Wait, why did they take down the trending topic?”


    Lillian looked at Dani’s radiant expression and mused, “Could someone be interested in you and not like seeing you and Alexander trending? Maybe they had it removed first thing this morning?”
