?Chapter 479:


    “Yes.”


    Dani continued to kiss him, soothing his feigned distress.


    Meanwhile, downstairs, Katrina’s patience was wearing thin. She quietly asked the maid, “What are they possibly discussing upstairs for so long?”


    The maid, not bothered by the inquiry, answered, “They’re always like this. They get along well. I noticed Cedric making frequent early morning visits upstairs, saying he was bringing Dani water.”


    Hearing the maid’s exnation, Katrina was incredulous. Didn’t Dani have water in her room? Was it something special about the water provided by Cedric?


    As she pondered this, Dani descended the stairs.


    Katrina quickly asked, “Where’s Cedric? Still in your room?” Dani’s face remained impassive, though her lips were slightly reddened.


    “He’s organizing somepany data,” she responded nonchntly as she walked towards the sofa and turned on the TV.


    “What did you want to discuss with me?”


    While Dani focused on the TV, Katrina, feeling a bit dissatisfied, decided not to press further. Instead, she ventured, “Could you do me a favor?”


    Dani, picking up an apple, responded tly, “No.”


    “I haven’t even told you what it is yet.”


    Dani stayed silent, her attention fixed on the TV, her demeanor detached.

    When Cedric descended the stairs and saw Dani’s aloof expression, the peace he had just reimed was unsettled again.


    “It’s nothing serious,” Katrina mentioned, trying to remain nonchnt despite her internal turmoil over Joyce’s recent actions.


    “Could you transfer Joyce’s dividends to me?”


    Dani turned and asked, “Why?”


    Unable to reveal her true motives, Katrina said, “I’m a bit strapped for cashtely.”


    Dani responded, “Ask Joyce to transfer them to you. I don’t handle those details.”


    Katrina clenched her teeth in frustration.


    “Fine. I’ll tell you the truth—Joyce and Alexander are divorcing. I don’t want the Bet family to get any dividends from the roboticspany. I’d appreciate it if you could halt the dividend distribution until I get things sorted.”


    Unbeknownst to Katrina, Dani had already ordered the halt on dividends.


    Seeing Katrina willing to take the me, Dani was content to let her do so.


    “What should I say if Joyce asks?” she asked.


    Katrina asserted with conviction, “me it on me. After all, I’m Joyce’s mother.”


    Dani stayed quiet, her attention turning back to the television as she nibbled on her apple.


    Katrina pleaded for a long time, even writing a formal letter, before Dani finally relented.


    Grateful, Katrina showered her with thanks.


    “We’re family, after all. I always knew you had a soft heart, Dani, far more understanding than Joyce.” She then headed upstairs.


    She was certain that without financial support, Milo would leave Joyce.


    Everything would then revert to normal.
