?Chapter 492:


    Richard’s face was a picture of fury.


    “It’s been whispered about for some time, but she’s only recently started unting him in public. Now the whole town’s abuzz. It’s utterly shameful.”


    Richard shook his head in revulsion.


    “That’s thest straw.


    You need to divorce her. There’s no telling what other stunts she’ll pull. She’s thrown decency to the winds. Justst week, she conned four million dors from Dani and squandered it with that man in mere days. Now, she’s roped Katrina into her schemes to drum up more cash. Joyce haspletely lost her senses.” He massaged his temples wearily.


    “We need to discuss this divorce tonight. I refuse to live under this cloud of disgrace any longer.”


    With that, Richard retreated to his room, clearly drained and disgusted.


    Katrina, equally shamed, agreed to meet with Richard and Alexander.


    When Alexander arrived, Katrina greeted him with a smile.


    Alexander’s face was set in stone as he walked through the living room, his eyes briefly meeting Dani’s. She sat on the sofa, legs crossed, engrossed in her phone. Alexander knew Cedric was absent, tied up at an international conference as its keynote speaker.


    Ryan and Lillian were also absent.


    Pausing in the living area, Alexander addressed Dani, who seemed lost in her own world.


    “It’s been a while, Dani.”

    Herck of response was as if she deemed the conversation beneath her interest.


    “I need to talk to Joyce shortly. Care to join?” Wary of a rejection, Alexander added, “Could be interesting gossip for you.”


    Dani responded tly, “Not interested.”


    Alexander pressed his lips together, holding back furtherment, and moved towards the dining room where Katrina and Joyce were already seated.


    Joyce’sughter was scornful.


    “Really, Alexander? Inviting Dani to join us? What are you ying at? Looking for your next trophy wife? Think dumping me will impress her? Has anyone ever told you you’re acting like aplete asstely?”


    Alexander took a seat, his demeanor cool. In his eyes, Joyce was already nothing more than a stranger. Her affair was a thorn in the side of his business, but beyond that, he felt nothing.


    The loss of a major business deal because of her was thest straw.


    He was resolute about the divorce.


    His invitation to Dani was indeed a signal that he was back on the market.


    Katrina clung to a sliver of hope for reconciliation. She smiled weakly.


    “Joyce, stop talking nonsense.


    You two are the married couple here. He invited Dani simply because she’s alone and he thought she might be bored.”


    Joyce sneered.


    “The whole world knows what’s really going on. Spare us the facade.”


    Just then, the door swung open, and the servant announced Richard’s arrival.


    Richard paused in the living room, addressing Dani warmly.


    “Hello, Dani. It’s chilly today, isn’t it? Make sure you keep warm.”
