?Chapter 224:


    “It seems so.”


    Keith couldn’t hide the envy creeping into his voice. Had he known then, he would’ve made a move on Dani. Marrying her would have meant bing the master of Olisvine.


    Regret gnawed at Keith for not acting sooner.


    A man behind them handed Alexander a business card with respect, saying, “Mr. Bet, I’ve heard a great deal about you. Let’s get to know each other.”


    Soon, business cards were passed to him one after another. Alexander couldn’t help but feel as if both Dani and her projects were now in his grasp.


    A growing sense of satisfaction washed over him.


    Meanwhile, another man handed Alexander a valuable antique, and Keith noticed the man subtly signal a number to him.


    Eight million dors.


    While Alexander was basking in the attention as people eagerly handed him their business cards, Cedric quietly slipped into a seat in the veryst row, keeping a low profile.


    Lillian, ever observant, caught sight of him and waved, signaling for him toe forward to the front row. Realizing there were no open seats avable, she quickly arranged a ce for him among the staff.


    The subtle gesture sparked envy among the men in the room.


    Keith leaned towards Alexander and quipped, “See? That’s what having the right connections gets you.”


    Dive into fiction with gα?ησν????s


    Alexander’s smug demeanor instantly darkened at those words, and he snapped sharply, “It’s just a way to show off.”


    Keith chuckled and teased, “Feeling any regrets about divorcing Dani now? Cedric looks like someone you should keep an eye on!”


    Alexander scoffed dismissively.


    “That guy? Cedric and Dani have known each other for ages. If there was ever anything between them, it would’ve happened by now.”


    But beneath his confident words, a flicker of unease crept in. Alexander couldn’t shake the worry that Dani might find out Cedric was the boy from her past. He knew this secret needed to stay buried—no one could ever find out.


    Noticing Alexander’s unease, Keith smirked.


    “Rx, I won’t spill anything. But you owe me one. When you seal the deal, throw me a bone, okay?”


    Keith’s family specialized in hardware and interior design, after all.


    Alexander nodded.


    “Fine. Once I secure the project, the interior design is all yours.”


    Keith’s face lit up with excitement.


    Alexander leaned closer, his voice sharp.


    “And remember—keep that secret buried.”


    Keith nodded with a satisfied smile, feeling confident and victorious. He was certain that he could return home with promising news to share.


    Soon, the bidding meeting began right on time.


    While everyone had anticipated Dani’s presence, only the Elite Lux bidding team showed up.


    They proceeded with an overview of the project and outlined the bidding schedule.
