?Chapter 561:


    In the harsh light, her eyes appeared even more ominous, full of dark schemes.


    She reached for a spare phone and dialed a number she hadn’t called in over ten years. The voice on the other end of the line was thick with irritation.


    “What do you want?”


    Katrina’s voice was low and threatening.


    “Dani’s targeting me. She knows the truth behind Brylee’s death. If you help me, I’ll keep everything hidden. But if you refuse, I’ll make sure every secretes to light. Then we’ll see if Dani still wants you by her side.”


    The voice on the other end was low, its coldness cutting through the line.


    “Katrina, have you lost your mind? Why are you even mentioning that? So many years have passed!”


    Katrina could feel herself slipping, as though her grip on the situation was slowly fading. Perhaps, it had already slipped away entirely.


    “I don’t want to bring it up either. But Dani won’t let me go. The one losing it now is her!”


    Katrina knew reconciliation with Dani was impossible; that much was clear.


    Her decision had already been made—to leave the Harper family and divorce Caiden—but Dani wasn’t backing down.


    Every move Dani made had been carefully calcted to bring her to her knees.


    “What’s the worst that could happen? Does Dani even have proof? These events happened ages ago. Why drag them up now? If I’m stuck in this mess, you’ll be dragged down with me!”


    “Do you think I want to talk about this?” Katrina’s voice cracked as she stormed through the courtyard, her steps frantic.

    “But Dani is relentless! Have you seen thetest about Joyce? She’s pushed me to this point, and she won’t stop. She wants nothing more than to destroy me. If you don’t do something, I’ll pull you down with me!” Fury twisted Katrina’s face, her teeth grinding together as her eyes burned with vengeful fire.


    “You’re the real fool here! And you think you can bring me down? If this goes wrong, I’ll drag you and Joyce down with me! You had the perfect hand, and you ruined it!” Anger surged through Katrina, her body trembling with frustration.


    “Do whatever you need to do. But if I die, everything wille to light. And you, along with everyone else behind you, will fall with me!”


    After those words, Katrina’s gaze shifted. She froze, her breath catching for a split second.


    Then, with the phone still pressed to her ear, she slowly lifted her gaze.


    Across from her, a surveince camera blinked steadily, its red light shing ominously.


    Katrina was shocked.


    In a panic, she ended the call abruptly.


    The following day, Dani left for work.


    Her driver, ever observant, broke the silence, his voice low.


    “We’ve got two groups tailing us.”


    Dani leaned back in her seat, her expression casual.


    “I understand.”


    The driver’s eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, his tone calm as he said to Dani, “There are now three groups tailing us.”


    With a subtle turn of her head, Dani’s gaze shifted to assess the situation.
