Chapter 400:


    “Call Dani. Now!” she whispered urgently. What should have been a joyous celebration was quickly turning into a public spectacle, all due to Katrina’s insatiable greed.


    Meanwhile, Alexander and his father sat with nk expressions, clearly humiliated. They had never felt so ashamed. The Bet family’s rtives around them kept their heads down, whispering quietly.


    “Alexander was meant to be the pride of the Bet family. How did he end up marrying someone like her?” one of them muttered.


    “Who knows? She’s nowhere near as impressive as Dani. Joyce looks like trouble—mark my words, the Bet family will regret this in the future.”


    “This is a disgrace. Should we leave now? We’re all businesspeople. Imagine the fallout if word gets out that the Bet family used deceit to collect expensive gifts. Who would trust us then?”


    The rtives shared looks of agreement before quietly slipping out through the back door.


    Watching this, the Harper family’s rtives did the same, quickly leaving the wedding inrge numbers. By the time two-thirds of the event had passed, the majority of both the Harper and Bet families’ rtives had already left. The tables in front of the stage now stood eerily empty. Caiden hadn’t expected things to spiral so badly. Even reporters had arrived to cover the unfolding chaos.


    In his panic, he rushed to the hallway, desperate to reach Dani. But his calls were met with silence—his number had been blocked. Growing more desperate, he gged down a passing waiter and borrowed his phone. Dialing again, he held his breath as the phone rang.


    After a few rings, the call finally connected. Dani’s voice came through the line, sharp and clear.


    “Hello?”


    Your source for updates g?lnσν??ls


    For a moment, Caiden couldn’t find the words. The silence stretched on until he felt Dani’s growing impatience. He swallowed his hesitation, forcing a stiff “Hello” from his lips.


    “What do you want?” Dani replied, her tone cold and distant.


    Caiden finally managed to ask, “Can youe to your sister’s wedding?”


    Dani was sitting at the dinner table, surrounded by a crowd. Without raising her voice or stepping away, she stated coolly, “I have no sister.”


    Caiden hesitated before replying, “But blood is thicker than—”


    “Caiden Harper!” Dani cut him off, her tone calm and indifferent. She didn’t raise her voice, nor did she show any anger, but the mere mention of his name made everyone at her table nce up, their eyes narrowing.


    “My mother passed away long ago, and I have no one to protect me. Do you think that makes me weak?”


    Caiden was struck speechless. After a long pause, he managed to say, “That’s not what I meant. But so many people came to the wedding because of you.


    Your absence is causing a lot of trouble for me.”


    Dani replied coolly, “I thought I made myself clear thest time you came to see me. But since you seem unable to grasp it, let me be blunt. I don’t go looking for trouble, but I am not afraid of it. I have no ties to you anymore. So don’t call yourself ‘my dad’ again—it’s revolting. Also, the matters of the Harper family have nothing to do with me. Stop involving me in your mess.


    You wouldn’t like the fallout.”


    She paused, letting her words sink in before continuing again, “Yes, I have no one to protect me. I’ve known that for years. But that doesn’t make me an easy target. It doesn’t matter how many shares I’ve given her. Taking you or Joyce down would be simple. And if you doubt me, feel free to try. I can make you smile one moment and have you in tears the next.” Her words were sharp, and her gaze emotionless.


    There was no anger in her voice, no personal grudge. This was simply business.
