?Chapter 333:


    “Marrying into the Bet family is now your best course. Alexander is astute and capable.


    Your future is secure. He may seem distant, but your father and I are here to support you. Remember, men are straightforward beings. Don’t emte Dani’s stubbornness. There’s a time to concede. Men inherently want to dominate in rtionships, craving that control. It’s essential to distinguish between being merely someone’s partner and truly integrating into their life. Don’t hesitate to fulfill his needs.”


    “Otherwise, he might seek them elsewhere. Men operate this way.


    You must learn how to appeal to him, how to captivate his heart. Dani’s inability to grasp this led to her failure. Take this as a lesson, okay?”


    Alexander headed home and started throwing his belongings into a suitcase.


    Richard asked, “So, it’s decided, then?”


    Alexander, his anger still simmering, forcefully zipped up the suitcase.


    “Yes! I’ll be there to witness Cedric’s downfall myself. When it happens, Dani’s real face will be exposed.”


    Without another word, he grabbed the suitcase and stormed out.


    Richard stayed where he was, releasing a long, exhausted sigh. Questions swirled in his mind, ones he wished he could throw at Alexander. Was it really worth it?


    Hadn’t Alexander himself imed he never even liked Dani? So why on earth would he take things so far as to marry Joyce—a woman with another man’s child?

    The Harper family’s wealth was securely under Dani’s control. Richard couldn’te up with any logical exnation for Alexander’s choice to marry Joyce.


    Was it for power? Or wealth? Neither seemed like a prize worth such a costly trade.


    For a man like Alexander, renowned for his shrewdness and relentless pursuit of profit, this was the most irrational and loss-ridden decision he’d ever made.


    Richard’s weary sigh reverberated through the vast emptiness of the vi, a sound swallowed by the cold silence.


    Meanwhile, after Alexander left, Dani sat down on the sofa with an air of calm.


    Without sparing Caiden a nce, she stated in an indifferent tone, “The full audit reveals that three hundred million in assets have been transferred out. Caiden, I’ll need the remaining two hundred fifty-two million, three hundred ny thousand dors returned to thepany at once.”


    Caiden’s face darkened immediately at her words. A flicker of panic shed in his eyes, and he nearly stammered, “How could you possibly know?”


    He had diverted the money through a web ofpanies, paying heftymissions to middlemen who swore the transfers were untraceable, even to the sharpest auditors.


    And yet Dani had uncovered it. How could she have known? The audit had just started a day earlier, so how had she uncovered not just the missing funds but the precise amount?


    “You…” Caiden began, but before he could continue, Katrina quickly grabbed his arm.


    Turning toward her, a bit confused, he caught her nce, and she smiled gently at Dani, her voice soothing.


    “Dani, you’ve got it all wrong.


    Your father didn’t take thepany’s assets. It was just an investment.


    You’ve heard the saying, right? Don’t put all your eggs in one basket? Joyce is going to marry Alexander. One day, you’ll marry too. All your father ever wanted was to make sure there would be enough wealth for everyone. Sadly, the investments didn’t turn out as hoped, and this is all that remains. Let’s not make this a bigger issue than it is.”


    While speaking, Katrina’s hand slid behind her back and pinched Caiden sharply on the thigh.
