?Chapter 292:


    “Oh, and just so you know, I’ve been feeling a bit homesicktely. I’ll be moving back tomorrow.” Katrina’s expression changed drastically at her words. Joyce scowled, her voiceced with indignation.


    “What right do you think you have? Dad already severed ties with you!”


    “Do you even think? If not, you might want to consider getting yourself a brain.”


    Dani leaned back,pletely at ease.


    “Yes, Caiden cut ties with me. But the vi was my mother’s. Under inheritancew, I still have a stake in it. I can move back whenever I choose, and not even Caiden can stop me—certainly not you.”


    Dani stood, stretchingzily, her eyes sweeping over Katrina and Joyce with clear contempt.


    “You two should probably start praying that Caiden doesn’t die anytime soon. Otherwise, the portion of the vi left to you might be smaller than a bathroom.”


    Her wordsnded like a heavy blow. Katrina’s eyes widened in disbelief. The doctor, misreading her response, murmured, “I’ll be more gentle.”


    Katrina’s face remained torn, her mind swirling with confusion. Then, Dani added the final blow.


    “I’ll be on my way now. I have a feeling Caiden will wake soon. Don’t you think so, Katrina?”


    Katrina was stunned into silence, her thoughts scattered.


    Joyce stormed over to Alexander, slipping her arm through his with a sense of urgency.


    Your storytelling destination is gα?ησν????s


    “Alexander! Did you hear the way Dani was talking? So sarcastic, so cold! Anyone who heard her would think we were the ones who killed Brylee! It’s a blessing you didn’t stay with her; she’s totally out of her mind!”


    Alexander wasn’t so easily fooled. Joyce might have missed the meaning of Dani’s words, but he didn’t. What did she mean by Caiden waking up soon? How could she possibly know? Alexander narrowed his eyes, a growing suspicion forming as his gaze turned to Katrina.


    Meanwhile, Katrina, getting ready for surgery on her fractured finger, stepped out of the ward to make a call before signing the necessary forms.


    In the quiet hospital garden, she whispered into the phone, “Mom, do you think Dani has figured something out? Why would she suddenly want to move back? She has a prime spot in the Elite Lux building with a city view. Why would she want to move back?”


    On the other end, her mother was ying cards.


    “You’re overthinking it. Dani was just a kid back then. She was only five. Who remembers things from that age?”


    Katrina’s unease persisted.


    “Then why did she snap so suddenly? She’s always been so calm, never argumentative. But today, she waspletely different.”


    Her mother let out a softugh.


    “Maybe it’s because of Alexander. She’s probably just holding a grudge. Think about it — she loved him for so long. What’s the term? Oh, right, sunk cost. Alexander’s her sunk cost. She’s upset she lost him and can’t do anything about it, so now she’s taking it out on you.”


    Katrina muttered quietly, “Is that really what it is?”


    But something didn’t sit right. Dani didn’t appear bitter. In fact, she seemed to have grown quite close to Cedric. She had even entrusted him with the sales of the vi.


    Didn’t that imply Cedric was now more significant to Dani than Alexander?
