?Chapter 288:


    Her voice wasposed, but inside, Katrina was seething with fury. Dani! This scheming woman!


    “But the vi is a huge property, and as a young woman, you might find it difficult to manage the sale. Alexander is here today, and you trust him, don’t you? Why not let him take care of it for you? Doesn’t that sound better?”


    Katrina’s n was straightforward. If Alexander took charge, she could control the timing. He could drag things out long enough for her to sell the vi and move the money before Dani even noticed.


    Alexander had remained silently in the corner, observing. Katrina turned to him, shing a sweet smile.


    “Alexander, I’m afraid this will be a bit of a burden for you. Dani trusts you implicitly, and if I handled it, she wouldn’t feelfortable.”


    Alexander nodded slightly, his tone collected and professional.


    “Of course, leave it to me. Bet Group specializes in real estate, so selling a vi is no problem. Since both you and Dani trust me, I’ll…”


    Before he could finish, a voice as cold and sharp as a de interrupted him.


    “I don’t trust him.”


    Alexander froze, his unfinished sentence hanging in the air. Slowly, he turned to face Dani.


    “What did you just say?”

    Dani repeated her words, emphasizing each one.


    “I said, I don’t trust Alexander to handle this.”


    Alexander stood motionless, his eyes locked on Dani, unable to believe what he was hearing. Her face remained impassive, and her gaze never once met his. Her profile was serene yet cold, a detachment that sent a jolt of unease through him.


    “Dani…” Alexander inhaled deeply, trying to steady his racing heart.


    “You don’t trust me?”


    Katrina, thrilled by the drama, pretended to be stunned, covering her mouth dramatically.


    “Dani! What did you just say? You don’t trust Alexander? The man you loved for ten years! The man you married! And now you’re saying you don’t trust him to take care of this for you? You…”


    She paused deliberately, her words suspended in the air, intensifying Alexander’s difort.


    Alexander’s fists clenched at his sides, his pride stinging from the blow.


    “Dani, what are you implying?” he demanded, his tone sharp as his gaze bore into her.


    “Do you think I’ll try to pocket the money? Or do you think I’d side with someone else?”


    Recently, Alexander had been reflecting on the past. The memories resurfaced in quiet, unassuming moments, and with each passing thought, he realized how much Dani had sacrificed for him. She had bent her own rules for him time after time, yet he had never truly appreciated it.


    These revtions stirred something deep within him. He hade today hoping for a chance to repair their broken bond. He hade with honest intentions. And what did he receive in return?


    Alexander was stunned to find that his rare disy of goodwill was met with this. He felt a deep sting of insult. He couldn’t believe Dani would turn on him like this.


    Locking eyes with her, he pressed on, “Dani, do you really think so little of me? That I can’t tell right from wrong?”
