?Chapter 366:


    Although Caiden was cursing in his head, he forced a smile.


    “Dani, the news today mentioned your massive investment in that robotics venture. Billions, right? It’s a bold stroke that even paints me in a good light.”


    Dani took a slow sip of water, her eyes locking with his, awaiting the inevitable twist.


    Caidencked subtlety; his intentions were in for anyone to see.


    But Dani chose to feign ignorance, remaining silent for a few moments longer.


    Caiden blurted out, “If you’re pouring money into some spective AI project, why not redirect some into Harper Group? It’s our ownpany.”


    “I’m swamped,” Dani replied, her voice cold as she took another sip.


    Caiden struggled to mask his irritation, his jaw tight as he tried to keep his smile.


    “I get you’re swamped. But consider this: you invest, and I’ll run the ship. What do you say?”


    His eyes gleamed with hopeful anticipation, hoping she would say okay.


    Instead, Dani’s response was cutting.

    Turning towards the stairs, she spotted two elongated shadows. Her smirk was frosty.


    “Very well. If that’s your wish, I have no objections.”


    Caiden was taken aback by her swift acquiescence. After a pause, he asked in disbelief, “You agree?”


    Dani nodded.


    “I just said so.”


    At that moment, the front door swung open, and Cedric entered, bringing a chill with him. His tense expression softened upon seeing Dani.


    “Dani.”


    Caiden’s unease intensified with Cedric’s arrival, fearing a disruption to his ns. He rushed to continue, “So, how much are you thinking of investing in Harper Group?”


    Caiden noted Cedric positioning himself beside Dani.


    Cedric’s gaze fixed on her as if deciphering a puzzle.


    Her tone remainedposed.


    “Whatever you deem necessary,
