?Chapter 350:


    “Would you like to have a meal with me?”


    Cedric could never say no to Dani. He gave a slight nod.


    “Sure.”


    Dani raised her chin towards the living room.


    “Come on.” Without a second thought, Cedric left the room and followed her.


    Caiden followed closely behind them.


    Dani knew how to indulge. Rather than ordering takeout, she always arranged for private chefs to create extravagant meals at home.


    Tonight’s menu featured king crab, fish, tendermb chops, and more.


    The living room table was covered with an array of gourmet dishes, filling the room with tempting aromas.


    This extravagant setup was nothing new; Caiden and Katrina often indulged without hesitation. Dani never said no to them. She wasn’t the type to care much about food.


    But tonight, as soon as Caiden tried to sit down, Dani’s sharp gaze rose to meet his.


    “Hey.”


    Caiden reflexively looked up.


    “Are you calling me?”


    Dani’s face remained unchanged.


    “Did I invite you to eat?” The room went still. Every pair of eyes turned to Caiden, including Joyce’s.


    Caiden felt a rush of humiliation wash over him. Even the servant got to sit at the table, but he was not allowed? His face flushed with anger. He stood up sharply, his voiceced with irritation.

    “Fine! I don’t care!”


    He stormed upstairs, muttering under his breath, “Once the three hundred million arrives, I can eat whatever I want.” Despite his angry outburst, Caiden didn’t head to his room. Instead, he lingered on the second-floor balcony, watching the living room below, waiting for Cedric to finish his meal so he could confront him again about the money.


    The tantalizing aroma of the food wafted upstairs, irresistible to even the most hardened hearts. Enticed by the scent, Joyce couldn’t resist and made her way downstairs.


    A few momentster, she came running back upstairs, tears streaming down her face. She rushed to Caiden, eximing, “Dad! Can you believe how petty Dani is? It’s just food. Why does it matter so much?”


    Caiden’s face darkened as he listened to her tearfulints.


    Joyce wiped her eyes.


    “Dad, did you upset Dani somehow? She’s never told me not to join her for meals before. Seriously, Dad, you and Mom shouldn’t be pushing her like this.


    You’re not going to win.”


    Caiden, who had been holding his temper all day, finally snapped.


    “Upset her? What did I do to upset her? Dani’s the one being unreasonable. What’s that got to do with me? Look at yourself and then look at her! She’s achieved more than you’ll ever manage. Instead of facing your own shorings, you’re here ming me? If you had even a fraction of her skills, I wouldn’t be stuck living like this every day!”


    He kicked a vase in the hallway in frustration, sending shards flying across the floor.
