?Chapter 363:


    The grueling Elite Lux project that had extended over half a month was finally wrapping up.


    After a conversation with Lillian, Cedric ryed the news to his boss.


    At Phillips Group’s subsequent summary meeting, the finance department concluded their presentation, all eyes on Cedric for further directives.


    Cedric stared vacantly at the tabletop.


    The finance director held his breath.


    The marketing and HR staff exchanged nervous nces.


    The manufacturing and production teams mirrored their anxiety.


    All eyes inevitablynded on the unlucky secretary.


    Bracing himself, the secretary ventured, “Mr. Phillips…”


    Cedric asked, “Isn’t there an auction tonight?”


    The room was puzzled.


    Cedric pressed on, “I recall there’s a bracelet called Blue Sea Mystery up for grabs, right?”


    The secretary confirmed, “Yes. It features eight diamonds, with a starting bid of three hundred million.”


    At this, Cedric’s expression clouded momentarily.


    He seemed particrly averse to the number three at that moment.

    Cedric inquired further, “Isn’t there also a brooch adorned with sixteen sapphires?”


    The secretary nodded affirmatively.


    “Yes, the opening bid is eight hundred million.”


    Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. Altogether, securing it would cost around two billion.


    He surveyed the astonished faces around the room, raised his hand decisively, and dered, “Meeting adjourned.” Everyone was visibly relieved.


    They all silently thanked Dani’s favor!


    It was evening when Dani arrived in Olisvine.


    The Harper family residence was aglow, seemingly in anticipation of her return.


    From her vantage point on the ne, she noticed two figures below.


    The nended.


    Before Cedric could utter a word, the secretary was already in tears.


    “Ms. Harper, wee back! On behalf of all Phillips Group employees, we wee you!”


    Dani was overwhelmed by such an unexpected reception. With a look of genuine concern, Cedric asked, “Are you tired?” She shook her head.


    The rare joy of reunion lit up his dark eyes after such a prolonged separation.


    Dani felt slightly ufortable with the intensity of his stare. Once Dani was inside the house, Caiden and the others let out a collective sigh of relief.


    “Why did it take you so long?” Caiden voiced his impatience.


    ncing upward, Dani caught sight of Alexander, who was bandaged from head to toe and resting on the sofa.


    She then looked away and headed straight upstairs to unpack. Dani headed upstairs without bothering to ask about his condition, which made Alexander irritated.


    What was going on? Didn’t she see him? Didn’t she notice the thick bandages on him? He was disappointed by herck of a simple greeting despite the fact that they were sharing the same space.
