?Chapter 291:


    Joyce stood, fury shing in her eyes as she red at Dani.


    “You’re just here to make our lives hell, aren’t you?”


    Dani didn’t flinch. She gave a simple nod.


    “Yes. Isn’t that clear? I’d say you’re not exactly known for your intellect if you have to ask.”


    Joyce seethed at Dani’s cold attitude.


    “How did you turn into this, Dani? Just because you have money doesn’t give you the right to do whatever you please!”


    Dani let out a dryugh, her fingers still tapping at her game.


    “Maybe you should work your way up to my level before you start lecturing me about what’s possible or not. But I doubt that’ll ever happen. With yourck of initiative, you’ll never know what it’s like to actually hold power.”


    Dani tilted her head, pretending to sympathize.


    “Even if you did marry Alexander, I highly doubt you’d ever really control his family’s fortune.”


    Joyce’s anger red. But, unfortunately, Dani’s words hit home. She had never been quick on her feet. The only time she’d ever gotten the upper hand over Dani was when Alexander left Dani for her. Now that it was obvious Dani had no interest in Alexander anymore, Joyce had no way to im another victory.


    Her fury made her voice shake, but it was clear she couldn’tnd a hit on Dani. She couldn’t even get close to Dani, with Cedric standing guard near her, rxed yet protective, like a warning to anyone who thought to approach.


    Joyce balled her fists, her voice rising in a sharp, high-pitched tone.

    “Just wait! The police are on their way!” she yelled, her finger stabbing the air, aimed at Dani.


    At the mention of the police, Dani paused her game. She raised her eyes slowly, her calm gaze settling on the finger Joyce had pointed at her.


    Joyce’s confident stance faltered the moment Dani’s piercing gaze fixed on the finger she had raised. Dani gave a faint, knowing smirk before lowering her head, resuming her game.


    When the police finally arrived, representatives from both Phillips Group and Elite Lux had already shown up. Joyce,cking the wit to keep up, found herself tangled in the barrage of legal arguments. Meanwhile, Dani’s words were clear and precise.


    “It was an unfortunate ident. I’m more than willing to make amends and settle this fairly.”


    Joyce stood stunned, watching Dani effortlessly y the same pity game Katrina often used. Dani told the police, “My stepmother has always harbored resentment towards me. After my mother passed, she convinced my father to sever our rtionship. She married him just days after my mother’s death. Now that my father is critically ill, she’s barred me from visiting him. Naturally, I became emotional…”


    This strategy quickly made the legalplications fade away, and the matter was resolved swiftly.


    Still reeling, Joyce watched as Dani transferred $20,000 into the hospital ount. Then, with a sweet smile, Dani addressed Katrina, who was pale from the pain of her fractured finger.


    “This money is for you. Get some medicine and take better care of that brain of yours.”


    Katrina tried to respond, but before she could utter a word, Dani’s voice grew colder.
