?Chapter 467:


    Turning to Dani, Joyce said, “I need a moment more with Alexander.”


    Dani gave a brief nod and walked away.


    Alexander made to follow Dani, yearning for a response to his earlier confessions, but Joyce obstructed his path.


    “Don’t waste your time.”


    Alexander faced her, irritation sharp in his voice.


    “What do you mean by that?”


    Joyce offered a wry smile, the warmth of the scarf around her neck contrasting with the coolness of her demeanor. She adjusted the scarf casually and warned, “Alexander, no matter your beliefs or whether Dani ends her rtionship with Caiden, she remains my sister. Our marriage is still legally valid, and should you pursue anything with her, just a few tears from me in public could wreak havoc on Bet Group.”


    She chuckled dryly, herugh piercing the tense air.


    “After all, is there anything more scandalous than you having an affair with your sister-inw, wouldn’t you?”


    Alexander’s expression darkened, his eyes narrowing.


    “You wouldn’t dare.”


    “Why wouldn’t I?” Joyce retorted, her voice calm yet detached.


    “What do I have to lose? I don’t rely on you, Alexander. But do you dare to take that risk?” She stepped closer, her tone quietly menacing.

    “Are you willing to risk Bet Group’s future against me? Perhaps you should proceed. Maybe Dani will be touched by your persistence and forgive you eventually.” She crossed her arms and shed him a cold, mocking smile.


    “So, what’s your decision? Your business empire or the beauty? Choose.”


    Joyce didn’t wait for his response. Before walking away, she turned sharply, her voice firm and decisive.


    “I don’t consent to a divorce.


    You’re wee to file if you wish, but be ready to lose everything. I’ve realized I quite enjoy being your wife.” Then, she let out a wild, almost unhingedugh before turning and walking back to the vi. Her eyes were cold, her expression resolute.


    If she couldn’t have a happy life, they might as well be miserable together.


    Alexander stood frozen, Joyce’s ultimatum—”your business empire or the beauty”—resonating in his mind like a deafening roar.


    He hadn’t anticipated Joyce would take such drastic steps, cing herself yet again as an obstacle between him and Dani.


    His gaze lingered on Dani as she walked away, and his hand slowly clenched into a tight fist.


    That same day, Joyce packed her belongings and left. When Katrina inquired about her actions, Joyce dered she wasn’t seeking a divorce. She intended to endure this marriage for the rest of their lives.


    As she spoke, Dani was in the living room. Joyce’s gaze fixed on her throughout the conversation.


    Dani, however, showed no reaction, making it unclear whether she had heard it or not.


    Joyce grabbed her suitcase, ready to depart, yet paused, reflecting briefly before setting it back down. She approached Dani and stood next to her.


    “Dani, I’ve decided not to divorce Alexander. What do you think about that?” Joyce felt a twinge of fear towards Dani.
