?Chapter 584:


    Even with the promise of repaying double, not a single person agreed.


    “Look, it’s not that I don’t want to lend you the money, but my father has made it clear.


    You married Dani, then started something with Joyce. People already questioned your integrity. Then, you divorced Dani and married Joyce. Now you’re still chasing after Dani. A man like you isn’t someone we want to be connected with.”


    “I kept in touch with you quietly before, but after your visit to Dani’s office was exposed, everyone started saying you have no morals when ites to money. My family warned me that if I kept dealing with you, they’d break my legs.”


    “I’m just being honest with you now. All the big families have received simr warnings.


    Your reputation is shot, and you’re not going to get the money. Just let it go, man.”


    Alexander stood there, frozen, a cold chill creeping down his spine. He hadn’t realized just how badly his reputation had taken a hit.


    With a slow, defeated nod, he turned and walked out into the pouring rain, feeling utterly lost and empty. Once again, Alexander found himself at Dani’s doorstep, asking for a million.


    “Even if you see me as a beggar, you still wouldn’t give me that much, would you?”


    Physically drained and mentally worn, Alexander hade face-to-face with the worst of human nature in recent days, and now, facing Dani, he was no longer the confident man he once was.


    Dani was busy, and when her secretary came to call her for a meeting, she dismissed him with, “I can’t lend you the money,” before ending the call.

    However, Alexander didn’t give up. He waited downstairs at Elite Lux, his pride hanging by a thread. Even though it was hard, he preferred swallowing his pride in front of Dani rather than begging Joyce for the million.


    When Dani came out of the building, Cedric was by her side. They were chatting, exchanging light smiles—the kind she used to give him.


    A wave of jealousy and regret washed over Alexander.


    “Dani, do you have a moment?”


    Dani raised an eyebrow in surprise. Alexander seemed more humble than she’d ever seen him.


    “I’ve already said everything I needed to,” she replied, curious about why Alexander wasing to her now. She was aware that the upper-ss circles had turned their backs on him, and she had no intention of making things worse, nor did she n to offer any assistance. In fact, she was intrigued. Why did Alexander believe she would lend him money and continue toe to her? If he thought she still cared for him, it was downright absurd.


    “I know, but I really need to talk to you,” Alexander said, his urgency clear. A new partnership was in the works, and any dy could disrupt everything. If that happened, the Bet family would be on the brink of bankruptcy.


    In moments like this, pride and arrogance could be set aside.


    “Just five minutes. Give me five minutes, please. It’s too crowded here. Let’s step aside for a moment. I promise, after this, I won’t trouble you again. Is that alright, Dani?” His voice was soft, his eyes pleading.


    “Just five minutes, or I won’t feel at peace. I know you’re frustrated, but please, just five minutes to wrap this up, alright?”


    Alexander wasn’t sure why he was saying any of it. His thoughts were jumbled, his wordscking logic.


    Just as he moved to reach her, Dani stepped back. She walked a few steps to the side with Alexander, Cedric trailing behind them.


    Alexander, no longer caring, blurted out, “I know you won’t just give me the money. How about we make a deal?”
