?Chapter 544:


    The debt collectors had waited through the day and night, yet Dani remained inside her home. Joyce understood that Dani would not trust her.


    In a desperate move to draw Dani out, Joyce clenched her teeth and jumped from the second-floor window of the hospital.


    The incident prompted an immediate call from the hospital to the Harper family.


    The maid, after a pause filled with stunned silence, rushed to alert Dani.


    “Miss Harper, Joyce has jumped from the building! The doctor requires a family member’s consent for her surgery.”


    Dani replied icily, “How convenient. Isn’t her mother already there in the hospital?”


    The maid, still agitated, said, “They can’t find her mother at the moment.


    You should go to the hospital.”


    Dani, recalling Joyce’s earlier words, began to sense a setup.


    A smirk crossed her face quietly.


    She then went upstairs to change clothes.


    Back at the hospital, learning that Dani had departed the vi brought Joyce a sharp intake of relief.


    Her risky decision to jump hadn’t been futile.


    On the road, Dani’s driver noted, “There’s a car following us.”


    Dani checked a message from Lillian and responded withposed assurance, “Understood.”

    Initially, the mysterious car maintained its distance.


    It then suddenly elerated, cutting off and halting Dani’s car in the street’s center, drawing the attention of bystanders as other vehicles quickly dispersed. One vehicle that had passed returned with a sharp U-turn.


    Inside, Dani’s frown deepened.


    Outside, a man with a scarred face demanded loudly,


    “Get out!”


    Before she could respond, Alexander emerged from his car, impetuous as always.


    “What are you doing? This is a public road!”


    Dani momentarily shut her eyes, frustrated by Alexander’s reckless bravado.


    His confrontation diverted the thugs’ focus from Dani to him.


    Alexander pointed at the leader.


    “What’s your business here? Don’t block the road. Move on immediately.”


    The leader’s biceps bulged with menace as he snarled, “This doesn’t concern you. Back off!” His threatening stance made him appear particrly formidable.


    Alexander stood firm.


    “I am not afraid even if there are more of you.” He nced quickly at Dani and yelled, “Dani, go! Get out of here!”


    The leader’s gaze darkened with murderous intent.


    “Do you know each other?” he asked Dani.


    While seated in her car, Dani responded coolly, “I don’t know him.”


    Simultaneously, Alexander eximed, “How could I not? She’s my ex-wife!”


    Dani shut her eyes.


    Spotting the glint of a de outside, she quickly exited the car.
