?Chapter 650:


    Doug’s hand remained outstretched, waiting for Dani’s response.


    Every eye in the room was on her.


    Bathed in the spotlight, Dani stood tall, smiling with poise.


    “Apologies, I’m a bit obsessive about cleanliness.”


    Doug’s smile faltered, his expression tightening.


    Then Dani’s gaze flicked toward Joyce.


    “How have you and Alexander been these days?”


    Joyce hadn’t anticipated Dani’s swift retaliation. Her face drained of color, and she quickly nced at Doug.


    Doug’s expression darkenedpletely.


    Dani maintained her smile.


    “Doesn’t your husband know about your little rendezvous while he was away? Oops, my mistake. I shouldn’t have said that. Sorry.”


    Her apology was casual, her demeanor unaffected.


    Joyce flustered, waving her hands frantically as she tried to exin.


    “It’s not what it seems! Let me exin—Alexander is my ex-husband. We just exchanged a few words, nothing more.”


    “Is that so?” Dani asked with a smile.


    “Then why have I seen you both going in and out of the Grand Hotel multiple times? Am I mistaken, or was that really you two?”


    Feel the magic at gα?ησν????s?cο??


    Joyce clenched her jaw, ring at Dani, her eyes burning with fury.


    “Enough!”


    Dani’s smile barely wavered.


    “I’m only stating the truth. Is that a crime? Using your husband’s money to maintain a lover isn’t exactly a good look. But then again, your husband is a lot older than you, so in some areas, you might have more energy. I can see why you’d need someone else to help you out.”


    Dani savored the drama, unconcerned with the fallout.


    “Don’t you agree, Doug?”


    It wasn’t just an affair—it was like publicly humiliating Doug, making a fool of him for everyone to see.


    Doug could feel the weight of the crowd’s gaze on him, his face contorting with humiliation for the first time.


    “Thanks for the reminder. Excuse me,” Doug muttered, pulling Joyce away and, despite her protests, shoving her into the car.


    The car didn’t move; instead, it rocked violently in ce.


    The tremors continued until the banquet finally came to an end. At some point, Alexander appeared behind Dani.


    “Is this about me?”


    Dani turned her head slightly, stepping aside.


    “What are you talking about?”


    “You didn’t want me with Joyce, so you exposed our affair to Doug on purpose.


    You still care about me, don’t you?”


    Alexander’s gaze on Dani was intense, almost obsessive. He needed confirmation, an answer that would prove everything that had transpired wasn’t just a figment of his imagination.


    Dani chuckled softly at his words.
