?Chapter 451:


    His demeanor had changed dramatically, but Dani didn’t care to explore it and had no interest in engaging.


    She gave a slight nod before turning to walk away.


    Alexander stood still with a conflicted expression.


    Richard, eager to smooth things over, quickly caught up with her, a chuckle slipping from his lips.


    “Dani, let me walk you out. I apologize for you having to witness all this mess today.”


    Dani said nothing in response.


    In the elevator, Richard shed a smile and leaned in.


    “We’ve known each other a long time, Dani, so I’ll get straight to the point. I was wondering if your roboticspany is still epting investments. I have some funds and was thinking of contributing.”


    Dani made her way to the hospital entrance.


    Cedric’s car was parked and waiting outside.


    She remained silent, yet Richard persisted in following her.


    Just as Dani was about to get into the car, Richard, unwilling to let go, called out to her.


    “Dani, we wronged you in the past, but that’s all behind us now. Marrying someone like Joyce, well, that’s Alexander’s karma. Please don’t hold that against us. I don’t have grand ambitions; I just want to dip my toes into a small investment. A million would barely make a dent for me. Can you allow me to be involved?”


    Dani turned her gaze toward Richard. After a brief pause, she finally responded,


    “Alright.”


    She understood that sometimes, to earn, you had to invest.


    “I’ll have someone reach out to you soon. Make sure you’re ready with the funds,” she added.


    Richard was over the moon at her response.


    He never saw this stroke of fortuneing.


    He was so thrilled, his excitement almost spilling over. At the same time, a part of him regretted not asking for more earlier.


    A million? That was small change.


    Richard, practically bubbling with excitement, could hardly contain himself as he rushed upstairs to tell Alexander the good news.


    “Dani agreed. She’s letting me invest!”


    Alexander, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, was even more surprised than Richard had been.


    Richard couldn’t hide his satisfaction.


    “It’s not a huge amount, but we can build on it over time. Alexander, Dani’s really a kind soul. I made a sincere apology earlier, and at first, she didn’t respond, but when I mentioned it was my life savings, she started to warm up. Dani is nothing like that cold-hearted Joyce. Despite how you neglected her before, she never held a grudge against you. I must say, she’s a gem.


    You’re truly missing out.”


    Alexander was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. Standing silently in the cold corridor, he whispered to himself,


    “If I truly apologize, will she forgive me?”


    As he reflected on this, he felt a subtle warmth begin to thaw the coldness that had taken root in his heart. Maybe it wasn’t the right time yet. Perhaps he should wait just a little longer.
