?Chapter 634:


    Caiden’s eyes widened in shock.


    Dani turned her head slowly, her clear, steady gaze locking with his.


    “Do you think Katrina had something to do with my mother’s death? And who do you think is responsible for Katrina’s murder?”


    Dani let out a low chuckle, her toneced with audacity.


    “Or is it that you think I killed Katrina?”


    Her words came out with unnerving candor.


    Caiden froze, caught off guard by her bluntness. He had expected evasion, maybe deflection—not this direct confrontation. His eyes darted nervously, guilt flickering in his expression.


    “I don’t know. All I know is that it has nothing to do with me. If you’re nning to stir up trouble, don’t drag me into it.”


    Without waiting for a reply, Caiden spun on his heel, intent on fleeing the suffocating tension.


    But he hadn’t taken more than a few steps when Dani’s voice echoed behind him.


    “You can’t outrun the consequences of your actions.”


    The words hit him like a blow to the back, forcing him to halt.


    A shiver crawled down his spine as he stood frozen in ce. Slowly, almost unwillingly, he turned around.

    At that exact moment, a gust of wind barreled through the hallway, mming the door shut with a deafening bang. The sound reverberated like a gunshot, perfectly echoing her mock gesture.


    His breath hitched, and the chill of terror settled deep into his bones as Dani’s smile widened.


    He stood there, rooted to the spot, words failing him as dread coursed through his veins.


    Without another nce, Dani turned and strode gracefully into the house.


    When Cedric returnedter that evening, he found Dani already home.


    “You’re back,” Dani greeted him, her smile warm andposed.


    Cedric lingered by the doorway.


    “You came home earlier than I expected.”


    “Yes. The banquet was draining. I needed some time to myself.”


    Cedric stood at the door, quietly watching Dani. After a moment, he stepped inside.


    “Katrina is dead. Did you hear about it?”


    Dani nodded.


    “I saw it on the news.”


    “You don’t seem surprised,” Cedric observed.


    Dani’s smile didn’t falter.


    “Why should I be? I was there when it happened. I saw everything unfold with my own eyes. Isn’t it natural that I wouldn’t be shocked?”


    “This doesn’t add up,” he replied.


    Dani let out a softugh.
