?Chapter 429:


    Alexander caught the subtle interaction, his heart splintering in silent agony.


    “When you chased after me before, you weren’t this attached. Dani, are you with Cedric now?”


    Dani remained silent, her grip on Cedric’s hand firm as they turned to leave.


    Alexander stood abandoned in the center of the dance floor, his heart turning to ice.


    Dani had chosen Cedric. He wanted desperately to tell her, “If you still harbor any old feelings, I would divorce Joyce for you.”


    But the opportunity slipped through his fingers. Or perhaps, Dani no longer held any space for him in her heart.


    Alexander felt the weight of the surrounding gazes, and a profound sadness enveloped him. Had Dani truly written him off?


    Off to the side, Joyce took a bitter sip from her drink, her lips curling into a grim smile. Alexander was indeed regretting it.


    Alexander exited the celebration from the dance floor and headed straight to a bar.


    Joyce’s car lurked at the bar’s entrance.


    She waited like a predator in the shadows until she saw Alexander being propped up by his secretary, drunk and unsteady. Only then did she emerge from her car. The secretary was taken aback.


    “Mrs. Bet, what brings you here?”


    As Joyce maneuvered Alexander towards her car, the secretary intervened hastily.


    “Mr. Bet asked to be taken back to thepany.”

    Joyce shot the secretary a frosty re.


    “Whatpany? Alexander is married to me. It’s my call where he spends the night.”


    The secretary’s anxiety peaked.


    “This isn’t right. Mr. Bet explicitly said to take him to thepany’s lounge. Please don’tplicate this. If he wakes and realizes I didn’t follow his directions, I’ll be in a tight spot.”


    Joyce was unmoved by the plea. She forcefully pushed Alexander into her car, climbed in, and without a moment’s hesitation, sped off into the night. The secretary gasped, “This is not good!”


    It was well-known that since his marriage, Alexander hadn’t shared a bed with Joyce. Now, in his inebriated state, he wouldn’t even recognize if the person beside him was Joyce or someone else.


    The secretary wasted no time and rang up Richard.


    Richard blurted out, “This is bad!” He then called Joyce.


    But Joyce was unreachable.


    She had not only powered down her own phone but also Alexander’s.


    She whisked Alexander away to a friend’s secluded vi and ushered him into the bathroom.


    In his muddled state, Alexander thought he saw Dani. His voice cracked as he called out, “Dani?”


    Joyce lifted her gaze, a sly chuckle escaping her lips, and murmured, “Yes.”


    Richard was pushed to his limit.


    He fully grasped why Alexander hadn’t shared a room with Joyce yet.


    The reason was his unresolved feelings for Dani.
