?Chapter 357:


    “First, we’ll head to the bank and grab the money. Once it’s all settled, I’ll help you coax her.”


    However, he knew no matter what, Dani wouldn’t budge! Her icy demeanor was imprable! His true agenda was to get the funds at all costs.


    Yet Cedric remained rooted to the spot, unmoving.


    The rain cascaded down in torrents, punctuated by the stark shes of lightning and the rumble of thunder.


    Initially, Caiden had left the door open, but the wind was fierce. Josie, thinking quickly, handed Cedric an umbre and closed the door against the storm.


    Caiden was settled on the living room couch, his eyes glued to Dani as she engrossed herself in her game. Her intensity was unyielding. He couldn’t fathom what Cedric found so appealing about her. Outside, a storm unleashed its fury, but Dani remained indifferent.


    “If you’re that concerned about him, why not join him outside?” Dani stated in a frigid tone.


    Caiden hesitated briefly before resigning himself to thefort of the sofa, not daring to counter her suggestion.


    As the rain relentlessly pounded against the windows throughout dinner, Caiden grew visibly anxious. He leaned towards Katrina and confessed in a low voice, “You know, Dani actually intimidates me a bit.”


    Katrina stole a nce at the raging storm outside, then turned her gaze to Dani. She instinctively pulled her feet back, feeling a twinge of fear towards Dani as well.


    By the time midnight rolled around, exhaustion had overtaken everyone, and they made their way upstairs to bed.

    Before Lillian disappeared into her room, she paused by Dani and remarked, “Cedric is still outside.”


    Ryan added, “The rain’s reallying down hard. Shouldn’t we bring him inside and let him leave tomorrow?”


    Dani didn’t look up from her game. Her face gave nothing away as she continued to tap at her phone.


    Throughout the night, the storm raged on, a symphony of relentless rain, brilliant shes of lightning, and deep rumbles of thunder, only subsiding as dawn approached.


    The living room was empty.


    Caiden was deeply concerned about Cedric’s well-being, more than anyone else in the family. He had spent a sleepless night, tormented by the fear of losing his three hundred million. At dawn, he picked up an umbre and went outside.


    Cedric was still out there, enduring the torrential downpour. The stormy weather felt harsh, with the wind driving the rain like needles against his skin.


    Caiden tried to persuade Cedric earnestly.


    “Cedric, listen to my advice. Don’t be so stubborn. The world is full of wonderful women. Why are you so fixated on Dani?”


    Cedric remained silent, his stance unyielding in the rain, his suitpletely drenched.


    “How about this, Cedric?” Caiden yelled over the roar of the rain.


    “You give me the three hundred million, and I’ll introduce you to a woman even more beautiful than Dani, someone who shares her charm. How about that?”


    Cedric did not reply.
