?Chapter 468:


    Dani, invaluable for her connections, was like a treasure trove of opportunities. Joyce was aware of Dani’s influence, having witnessed powerful men submit to her at Elite Lux with utter obedience. If she angered Dani, and Dani chose to reim the roboticspany shares, Caiden wouldn’t be able to retrieve them a second time.


    Without Dani’s financial support, Joyce questioned how she could possibly challenge the Bet family. Dani, engrossed in a report, seemed not to hear Joyce initially.


    Dani nced at Joyce, prompting her to repeat her statement.


    Dani’s reply came tly.


    “It’s up to you. Why are you telling me? I’m not your mother.”


    Nearby, Joyce’s mother, observing the exchange, narrowed her eyes at Dani, suspecting an ulterior motive.


    Unlike her mother, who possessed keen instincts, Joyce simply offered a tentative smile to Dani.


    “I felt I should consult you. Without the support from the robotics firm, what else can I count on?”


    Realizing the futility of any deception in front of Dani, Joyce let go of any facade.


    As she concluded, her phone chimed with a notification. She made no move to check her phone.


    Dani raised her chin slightly and asked, “Aren’t you going to check that?”


    Joyce was initially baffled by Dani’s words. She hesitated, her head bowed as she fished out her phone from her pocket.

    Upon viewing the text, Joyce became statue-still. Then, looking at Dani, she uttered, “What are you getting at?”


    “You were seeking some leverage, weren’t you?”


    Tears welled up in Joyce’s eyes as she leaned in, trying to hug Dani.


    But Dani blocked her advance, keeping her at arm’s length.


    “Thank you, Dani!”


    Dani cracked a small smile and shifted her focus to her phone.


    “You’re a shareholder of the roboticspany. Should you need support, thepany will stand behind you.


    You’ll see dividends in due course; financial worries won’t trouble you.”


    Joyce’s excitement was unmistakable, radiating from her expression.


    However, Katrina’s expression darkened.


    This windfall only fueled Joyce’sbative spirit. The more Dani contributed, the bigger the storm Joyce would brew for the Bet family.


    Joyce had just learned that Alexander had intended to save Dani from the fire, and now she seethed with anger.


    With fresh resources and Dani’s pledged support, Joyce was primed to return and wreak havoc on the Bet family.


    Katrina saw Joyce as a pawn in Dani’s game.


    As Joyce stood abruptly, pride lifting her stature, Katrina reached out and held her arm.


    “Joyce, listen to me. Dani has an agenda.


    You’re too upset now. Maybe hold off on going back just yet.”


    Joyce shook off Katrina’s grasp, her face etched with frustration.


    “Mom, I don’t understand you anymore. Can’t you see Alexander has driven me to the edge? Instead of backing me, you’re preaching calm? You never held back when you went after Dani.


    You always taught me that victory was all that counts. If I back down now, I’ll be forever marginalized in the Bet family.


    You’ve always lived by your own rules, and now you expect me to just fold? That’s hardly fair!”
