?Chapter 300:


    Dani’s tone grew firm.


    “Third, no questions asked.”


    Cedric was momentarily at a loss for words.


    Without waiting for him to respond, Dani slid into the car.


    “If you agree, get in.


    You’ve got five minutes to make up your mind.”


    Before she could finish her sentence, the door was already open, and Cedric slipped in.


    The familiar scent of Cedric’s cologne filled the air, recing the cold tension between them.


    As Dani arrived at the Harper family’s residence, she found Joyce and Katrina already waiting for her.


    With a forced smile, Katrina greeted her.


    “Dani, I’ve got good news.


    Your father is awake. I told him you were moving back, and he insisted on being discharged. He’s waiting for you inside now.”


    Dani wasn’t surprised in the least. She curved her lips into a faint smile and replied, “Really? The hospital must be quite something. Someone who couldn’t wake up yesterday is discharged today. I’m curious if it’s due to the doctors’ skill or something else.”


    Katrina’s smile stiffened, but Joyce, oblivious as usual, furrowed her brow.


    “Dani, what are you getting at? Shouldn’t you be happy that Dad’s awake? Or do you secretly wish something had happened to him, so you could take control of the Harper family’s fortune?”


    Lаτ??τ ch?ρτ?rs ιn g??l??ov?ls.??????


    “Shouldn’t I?” Dani asked with a faint smile.


    “Harper Group was entirely built by my mother. Thisnd you’re standing on? It was my mother’s vi, purchased with her own money. Joyce, you should be thankful I’m showing any kindness at all. If not, you’d have been out of here ages ago.”


    Joyce stood frozen, taken aback. In her memory, Dani rarely spoke out, let alone argued, except for that one outburst at the hospital.


    “Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?” Joyce muttered under her breath.


    Dani didn’t even bother to respond. She reached for her luggage, only to find Cedric already carrying it for her. Katrina figured Cedric was only there to drop Dani off. Dani moved ahead with Cedric right behind her, while Katrina and Joyce followed, their heads bowed.


    Once inside, Dani instructed the servants to ce Cedric’s luggage in the guest room before heading upstairs.


    Fresh out of the hospital, Caiden was so furious at Dani’s coldness that he almost needed emergency assistance.


    A short timeter, Dani descended the stairs and, with icy calm, addressed the trio seated in the living room.


    “Why did my room be a nursery?”


    Before anyone could respond, Caiden exploded, breathless with anger.


    “Dani, why did you bring Cedric here to stay in the guest room? Are you trying to use him as a weapon against me?”


    “You’re overreacting. Do I really need Cedric to handle you? He’s just a friend, visiting for a few days. What’s wrong with that?” Without giving anyone a chance to reply, Dani continued, “Since my room has turned into a nursery, I won’t take it back from the baby. Joyce, your bedroom has the best light, so I’ll take that room instead.”


    Hearing that, Katrina sprang to her feet.
