?Chapter 214:
Richard stood frozen for a moment, his mind reeling.
Then, a spark of realization shed in his eyes.
“Is Dreamscapeunching its new heart medication?” he asked, his voice bubbling with excitement.
“Yes,” Alexander answered in a t tone.
Richard’s face brightened, his voice nearly trembling with joy.
“This is it! Dreamscape and Bet Group should team up! What a golden opportunity!”
Alexander was drained of energy, while Richard practically burned with fervor.
“And Dani marrying into our family—isn’t that the best thing ever?” Richard continued, his excitement almost contagious.
Alexander had never heard him so animated before.
“Dani’s brilliant at making money, you know! And who knows, she might even have hidden identities. Do you realize how lucky you are? She’s cut ties with her family. It means she has no backing now, no one to protect her. Everything she owns could be yours. Wait, no, ours! Go speak to her about the medical deal,” Richard urged.
Standing in the biting wind, Alexander remained unnervinglyposed.
As Richard’s enthusiasm grew, Alexander allowed a faint smile to tug at his lips, but his eyes spoke of nothing but irony.
“Dad, think for a second. If you were Dani, would you even consider working with the Bet family?”
Your next journey starts at g?lnσν???s???o??
Do you know why Iughed just now? Do you remember what you said about Dani when she was after me? You said Dani was just some unwanted daughter her family didn’t care about and was shamelessly clinging to me because she was after our wealth and power.
You said with her poor background, marrying her would ruin the Bet family. And what use was a woman like that if she was not obedient and submissive? And at our wedding, you openly pointed at Dani and used her of marrying me for my money.”
He could still picture Dani’s unshaken calmness that day.
She smiled slightly, her eyes showing quiet strength. Behind her, a sea of whispering guests pointed fingers and threw usations. Through it all, she remained by his side, her resolve unwavering.
Alexanderughed bitterly at himself. He had been given a rare treasure but hadn’t recognized its value.
He was, without question, the most foolish man to ever walk the earth.
Dani had no time to waste on fools.
She didn’t bother with people who weren’t on her level. asionally, out of boredom, she might entertain their nonsense, but she didn’t waste much energy on it. After finishing her work, she moved on to inspect another property.
Later, she stopped by a barbecue restaurant and rented out the entire ce.
She ced an order for hundreds of skewers and had them delivered to the construction site in the North District. Lillian, holding a megaphone, shouted, “Cedric has ordered barbecue for us! Everyone, take a break!”
Cedric spun around in surprise and found Dani standing behind him, her smile warm and genuine.
“What are you doing here?” Cedric asked, his brow furrowing.
“It’s cold and windy, you’ll catch a cold.” Dani, dressed in Elite Lux haute couture, looked like she had stepped out of a luxury advertisement.
Yet there she was, casually sitting on the sidewalk as if it were the most natural thing to do.
