?Chapter 483:


    “You’re far too modest. As the CEO of Elite Lux, is there really anything out of your reach? I suppose I just haven’t captured your attention yet. No matter, I relish a good challenge, and time is on my side.” With a graceful bow, Milo tipped an imaginary hat to her.


    Before he turned to leave, he shed Dani a conspiratorial wink and a grin.


    “A smile that couldunch a thousand ships, for sure. But yours? It’s in a league of its own, worth a million times more. If you’d agree to spend some time with me, I’ll dly serve you in any way. What do you say?”


    Milo wrapped up the conversation and strolled off, exuding confidence with a self-assured smile.


    Turning her head, Dani noticed Cedric’s car already waiting at the side, and slid into the passenger seat.


    Cedric, his voice low, remarked, “That guy was flirty with you.”


    It was a statement, not a question.


    Dani shot Cedric a nce and smiled. He had a habit of getting jealous, and she secretly found it endearing.


    From the back seat, Lillian jumped in, her voice brimming with curiosity.


    “Dani, I heard Milo charges fifty grand a night for hispany. If he’s willing to waive that for you, isn’t that a pretty sweet deal?”


    Dani let out a quiet chuckle, her eyes flicking to Cedric’s visibly sour expression.


    “That’s true. But I prefer things that retain their value.”


    L?t??τ чh?ρτ?r? ιn gɑl??οv?l?.сo??


    Pulling out her phone, she transferred ten million to Cedric.


    “I’d rather invest in a truly expensive man, like one worth ten million a night.”


    Cedric’s phone vibrated, and when he checked it, he saw a notification confirming a ten-million-dor deposit into his ount.


    Lillian leaned forward to peek at Cedric’s screen, then groaned dramatically.


    “Ugh, you two lovebirds are unbearable! Let me out of the car—I can’t handle all this.”


    Cedric turned the wheel with a grin that stretched from ear to ear, unable to hide his delight.


    In that moment, Dani realized she had discovered a fresh reason to work hard and earn more money. She found that teasing Cedric was a surprisingly enjoyable hobby.


    While she didn’t care much for indulging herself, she genuinely enjoyed spoiling Cedric.


    Standing at a distance, Joyce watched as Milo engaged in a deep conversation with Dani. He wouldn’t let her approach, leaving her to gaze at them with longing. After losing Alexander to Dani, Joyce couldn’t shake the fear that Milo might slip away from her too. Unsure of how to keep his attention, she resorted to showering him with money.


    But the borrowed funds soon ran out. By the time Joyce had maxed out over a dozen credit cards, Milo had vanished from her life once more.


    The situation left her in a state of extreme anxiety. To her dismay, she found Milo standing beside her rival, Liza Alvarado.


    Her anger boiled over. Determined, she stormed off to find Dani. Bursting into the room, she shouted, “Dani, I don’t care what it takes—you need to give me money right now!” Dani, sitting in the living room with the TV on, didn’t flinch. Her expression remained calm and unreadable.


    “Or better yet, how much for those stocks?” Joyce pressed.
