?Chapter 510:


    He tightened his embrace, as if fearing she could vanish into thin air.


    After a pause, Cedric sighed deeply.


    “Let’s wrap up our affairs swiftly, shall we?”


    Dani nodded and reciprocated his embrace.


    Once they cleared their current hurdles, she hoped to give Cedric two children, adding branches to his family tree.


    Their intimate moment was shattered by a knock at the office door.


    Dani and Cedric reluctantly parted. Cedric stole a quick kiss and gently squeezed her waist before stepping back.


    “Come in,” Dani called.


    Katrina burst into the room, her entrance so frantic she nearly tripped over her own feet.


    “Dani, you must rescue Joyce this time!”


    Katrina copsed to her knees, clutching desperately at Dani’s skirt.


    “Joyce has thrown herself into that venture, and now, with Milo vanished with all the money, she’s the one in the crosshairs. Thepany owes a hundred million, and they’re threatening her life if she can’t settle the debts. Dani, I implore you. She’s your stepsister.


    You can’t just stand by and watch her perish!”


    Dani looked down at Katrina, who was groveling on the floor. She recalled the opportunity Alexander had unwittingly disrupted, now seemingly returned to her. A sly smirk crossed her face.


    “I can’t help her.”

    Katrina’s voice quivered as she remained kneeling.


    “I know I’ve wronged you in the past. I was harsh, acting out of fear of not being epted by you after marrying your father. Dani, it was never my intention. I’m truly sorry.”


    Katrina bowed her head repeatedly, each nod echoing in the tense silence of the room.


    Dani observed her with a frosty detachment.


    “I acknowledge my mistakes, Dani. Just give me a chance to make things right. Please, save Joyce. She’s still so young. If you turn your back now, she might not survive this.”


    Katrina’s plea rasped with desperation, but Dani remained stoic in her chair.


    After what seemed like an eternity, Katrina realized her pleas were in vain. She wiped away her tears, standing defiantly.


    “Dani, you won’t lift a finger for Joyce, will you?”


    Dani remained silent, her expression chillingly indifferent.


    “Very well! If that’s how it is, don’t me me for what happens next!” Katrina pulled out her phone and called Caiden.


    “You wanted to sever ties with Joyce, right? Well,e home immediately, Caiden. I want a divorce!” With that, Katrina ended the call abruptly.


    She turned back to Dani, her voice steel-d.


    “I’m divorcing Caiden, and I’m iming half of the Harper family’s fortune!”


    Dani let out a lightugh, spreading her hands.


    “Sure, if you think you can actuallyy im to it, by all means, try!”


    On that day, Caiden returned from abroad.
