?Chapter 685:


    What was the point of ambition?


    Why should dignity matter?


    Alexander had once walked with his head held high, but now, he was forced to swallow his pride and beg for scraps.


    Humiliated, Alexander left Joyce’s ce, barely able to hold himself together. Before long, his car pulled up at the base of the Elite Lux building.


    The security guards, upon seeing him, made it clear he wasn’t wee. They refused to let him see Dani.


    As the argument escted, Lillian appeared, carrying a tray of coffee. Her gazended on him, a smirk curling on her lips.


    “Alexander, is that you?”


    In a frosty voice, Alexander responded,


    “I must speak with Dani.”


    Lillian’s disdain was evident.


    “Why? Failed to achieve your aims with Joyce and now you turn to Dani? Alexander, consider your actions.


    You’re selling yourself now, aren’t you? Just like a gigolo. Joyce has been telling everyone that you’re avable for ten thousand a night.”


    The color drained from Alexander’s face.


    “Does Dani know about this?” he asked, desperate for some remaining affection from her.


    gα?ησν????s．?оm takes you away


    “Cedric’s in aa. I could possibly…”


    “What could you possibly offer? Alexander, do you really think you can entertain fantasies about our boss’s wife?”


    An executive from Phillips Group, a recent regr at Elite Lux, overheard and exploded in anger.


    The executive’s fist connected with Alexander’s face, and the sound of his nose breaking resonated through the lobby.


    Head bowed, Alexander watched blood drip from his nose.


    He wiped it away roughly, the pain intense. Despite wanting to retaliate, his attention shifted when Dani walked through the door.


    Seeing her, he momentarily forgot his agony. He wanted to break through the crowd to reach her side.


    His desire was to beg her, to see if she would even nce his way once again. This time, he was determined to value her as Cedric did.


    Alexander longed to propose to Dani that, with Cedric’s absence, perhaps he could fill his shoes.


    He had a multitude of things he wished to express to her.


    His desire was to fall to his knees and beg for forgiveness.


    However, Lillian, the security staff, and the executives from Phillips Group were quicker to act.


    They encircled Alexanderpletely.


    Dani’s retreating figure was all he could see as she mingled andughed with investors, stepping into the elevator.


    Ultimately, he found himself sinking to the floor, treated no better than slime underfoot.


    Yet, Alexander did not depart.
