?Chapter 687:


    They recognized him right away.


    Minutester, Alexander stumbled out, battered and broken. His nose and mouth were twisted, one leg clearly injured, and blood streaked his face. Standing under the dark night sky, he cut a figure both pathetic and absurd.


    Joyce stood in front of him, towering like a queen, her sneer sharp as a de.


    “As long as you are Alexander, Dani will never look your way again.”


    Struggling to keep himself upright with his hands, Alexander lifted his gaze to Joyce.


    “What exactly do you mean?”


    Joyce’s lips curled into a cruel smile.


    “I told you, in the end, Dani could be yours—but not if you are Alexander. Do you get it? Because as long as you are Alexander, she’ll never forget those ten years when you treated her as if she didn’t matter. She’ll never forgive you.”


    “Remember your indifference, your disregard, your scorn, and most of all, how you ignored her during the fire. Remaining Alexander means you’ll never have any hope of winning her back.”


    A look of confusion crossed his face. Blood dripped from his mouth, but he didn’t flinch. His voice was desperate as he asked,


    “But I am Alexander. How could I stop being Alexander?”


    Joyce’s smile turned even more sinister.


    “I have a solution, but ites at a price. Are you ready to endure the cost?”

    Alexander was lost, unable toprehend her words, but his only focus was on one thing—finding a way to win Dani’s heart.


    “I’ll do it! Just tell me how!”


    Joyce took in his battered form, her smile growing colder and more calcting.


    She quickly arranged for a helicopter to whisk Alexander away.


    The helicopter cut through the sky, leaving a long trail in its wake.


    Erika, confused, asked,


    “Where are you taking him? What do you mean he can’t be Alexander anymore?”


    Joyce smirked as she watched the helicopter disappear into the distance. Letting out a soft chuckle, she remarked,


    “In this world, if you have enough money and the determination to go all in, turning into a different person is surprisingly easy. I never expected Alexander to be willing to pay such a heavy price for Dani.”


    Erika looked at Joyce with disbelief.


    “Is stic surgery what you’re talking about?”


    Joyce nodded.


    “Exactly. It involvespletely transforming oneself to look like someone else. It’s simr to sculpting a new identity, reshaping oneself from the inside out to imitate someone else, followed by professional treatment to mimic that person urately. In five months, Alexander will be apletely different person.”


    Erika’s eyes widened with curiosity.


    “Who is Alexander going to turn into?”


    Joyce opened the car door in front of her. Before stepping in, she nced towards Cedric’s ward.


    A soft, warm light glowed from inside.


    She gave a slight smile and responded,
