?Chapter 304:


    “I see you haven’t lost your touch.


    Your words glide as smoothly as ever, and your skin seems thicker than stone.”


    Her words were piercing, sharp enough to cut through the air.


    Katrina’s hand, resting lightly on herp, curled into a tight fist. Her face held a serene, amiable smile, but underneath, a storm of fury raged within her. She had always known handling Dani was a challenge. Looking back, she regretted not having killed Dani.


    Joyce began to voice her objections, but Dani’s frosty re instantly silenced her. With her head bowed, she meekly withdrew to stand behind Katrina, her resolvepletely evaporating.


    An hourter, Ryan and Lillian pulled up with a moving van in tow. A flurry of movers bustled in and out, hauling an assortment of furniture and boxes into the house. Katrina watched the procession with a growing sense of annoyance churning in her stomach.


    “Really, is all this necessary? Just look at all these things! Caiden, is Dani nning to stay here for good?”


    Caiden watched, his face clouding over as he saw movers hauling in a bed, a desk, a piano, and various other pieces ofvish furniture. A wave of irritation squeezed his chest, yet he felt powerless to intervene. With a frustrated snort, he spun around and retreated into the house.


    Joyce, on the other hand, gaped in astonishment as the movers hauled a brand-new bed upstairs. Unable to contain her frustration any longer, she called out to Dani, “Dani, this is absurd! The bed in my room is almost new. Was there really a need to rece it with another?”


    Dani, leisurely peeling an orange that Cedric had given her, didn’t even bother to nce her way.


    ???€$? ?н?t??я? 1π ?alиoνε??.???


    “I’m a bit obsessive when ites to keeping things clean.”


    Just then, Josie arrived, apanied by a squad of professional cleaners. She addressed Dani with deference before ushering the cleaners upstairs.


    Joyce stared in disbelief at the unfolding chaos. She turned sharply, her eyes zing with fury as her voice exploded.


    “What the hell is this supposed to mean? They’ve got disinfectant tools! Are you implying that I’m filthy?”


    Dani didn’t even nce up from her task.


    “No,” she responded tly.


    A wave of relief washed over Joyce, but it was short-lived.


    “I’m merely concerned that you might be carrying some contagious illness,” Dani continued, her tone indifferent.


    “Dani, that is beyond inappropriate!” Joyce exploded in outrage.


    For the first time, Dani met her gaze squarely.


    “Yes, I am being inappropriate. So, what are you going to do about it?” It was a question that cut straight to the core.


    Joyce stood rooted to the spot, her thoughts scrambling for aeback. Eventually, she had to ept the harsh reality—she was powerless to change Dani’s course of action.


    Once the upstairs room was arranged, Caiden and the others thought the chaos was finally over. Suddenly, Dani’s crew burst into the kitchen,mencing a ruthless dismantling of the space.


    Caiden and the others were shocked, their disbelief written all over their faces.
