?Chapter 406:


    “A father kneeling before his daughter? That’s disgusting. If I had a dad like this, I’d rather not live. Poor Dani!”


    “Brylee and Dani really got the worst of it, getting stuck with someone as shameless as Caiden. What a tragedy.”


    “How is someone like Caiden still walking around? People like him shouldn’t even be a thing.”


    “Caiden’sck of shame is honestly unbelievable. And I heard Joyce’s wedding today was just a scheme to take advantage of others using Dani’s name. What a revolting family.”


    The words reyed in his mind like an unrelenting echo.


    Standing there, Caiden felt as though an invisible crowd surrounded him. He could almost feel their fingers poking at his forehead, pointing, and mocking him withughter. His fists tightened so hard that his nails dug into his palms.


    He wasn’t wrong! He couldn’t be wrong!


    People would do anything for money. That was the reality of the world. These people were just envious that he had Dani as his daughter.


    But was she even still his daughter?


    Caiden recalled the official statement Dani had posted earlier on the Elite Lux website.


    ” I hereby sever all ties with Caiden, Katrina, and Joyce. As Caiden desired, I have given him 5% of the shares in my roboticspany. I hope they will stop exploiting my name. As for Joyce’s wedding, I never promised to attend. If they continue to im I’m still part of them, I will take legal action to protect myself.”


    Below that, an additional note read, “One more thing. I’d like to ask Caiden a question.


    Let your mind wander with g?lnσν????s﹒??????


    You knelt in my office, yet now you act as if that never happened? Have some dignity, will you? Also, I’ve attached a video for everyone to enjoy. Consider it my wedding gift to the Bet family.”


    Everything wasid bare for the world to witness.


    Dani’s words—”Don’t mess with me”—burned in his mind. At that time, he had dismissed them, thinking they were just an empty threat. But now, he fully grasped the depth of her warning and the power behind it.


    The atmosphere thickened with tension, bing almost suffocating.


    The wedding host peered around the sparsely popted hall, paused uncertainly, and then whispered tentatively, “Should we go on with the ceremony?”


    Richard reached his limit. Rising abruptly, he snatched his coat and bolted out, leaving a heavy silence in his wake.


    Alexander surveyed the few stricken faces of the Harper family with a cold, dismissive stare. With a scornful chuckle, he dered, “Well, if ites to it, we’ll just sign the divorce papers right after the ceremony.”


    He didn’t wait for their response before turning on his heel and walking away.


    Joyce felt a pang of despair as she watched Alexander’s back receding. Ovee with urgency, she dashed after him. In the echoing expanse of the banquet hall, only Caiden and Katrina were left standing.


    Shortly after, the hotel manager approached them with a courteous smile, presenting a bill.


    “Would you like to settle this with cash or a card? Also, please note the wine spill earlier has ruined a carpet valued at ten-thousand dors, which we’ve added to your total bill. The charge for today’s event amounts to four million dors. Thank you.”


    The amount struck Caiden like a punch he never sawing.
