?Chapter 769:


    Dani had handed her such a massive plot ofnd without even blinking.


    Relying on Natalie or Nina wasn’t nearly as dependable as counting on Dani.


    Noticing the wheels turning in Elyse’s mind, Natalie answered, “They quoted one hundred million.”


    Elyse almost choked on her water. “How much did you just say?” Nothing had even unfolded, and they were already demanding such a steep price from her.


    Natalie reiterated, “One hundred million dors.”


    Elyse gulped. “Where am I supposed toe up with that kind of money?”


    Natalie narrowed her eyes, catching the flicker of hesitation in Elyse’s gaze. “Selling this vi would fetch exactly one hundred million.”


    Natalie pressed on. “You promised, didn’t you? You said it was no big deal. Once Dani and Cedric are gone, the Harper fortune will be yours. Then a vi—whether one, ten, or even a hundred—won’t matter.”


    Elyse had, in fact, said those very words.


    “But—”


    “What’s wrong, Mom? Having second thoughts? Have you changed your mind about killing Dani? Did you strike some kind of deal with her? Do you not want her dead anymore?” Natalie was perceptive.


    Elyse retorted, “Wait, one hundred million is just for Dani. What about Cedric? If he lives, we won’t get a dime.”


    Natalie smirked. “Before the assassin takes out Dani, I’ll have Cedricpletely under my spell and marry me.”


    ???????? ?????????? ???????? ???? ?????????ν??????﹒?????


    Elyse eyed Natalie skeptically. “You? Are you serious? You’re pretty, butpared to Dani—in looks, talent, brains, and strategy—you’recking. Do you really think Cedric would pick you?”


    Natalie’s jaw dropped at her mother’s blunt words. “Mom, what did you just say?”


    Elyse looked away. “I’m just stating the truth. You’ve been at Elite Lux for quite a while, but Cedric barely pays you any attention. If anything, he talks to Nina more than he talks to you. I’ll think it over. I’m heading upstairs.”


    With that, Elyse rushed upstairs, leaving Natalie behind, watching her retreating figure with narrowed eyes.


    Momentster, Natalie dialed aw firm. “Hello, I’d like to know how to sell a vi that’s under my mother’s name.”


    Thewyer responded, “Unless the owner consents, you have no authority to sell it.”


    After a brief pause, thewyer continued, “However, if the owner passes away, as the heiress, you’d have the right to sell it.”


    Natalie ended the call, her mind churning.


    In the car, Lillian nced at Dani, puzzled. “Dani, are you seriously giving Elyse thatnd for a retirement home?”


    Dani barely nced up from her phone. “You really think that’s happening?”


    Lillian frowned. “Then why buy it?”


    Dani smirked. “It’s Cedric’s birthday gift.”


    Lillian gasped. “That’s beyond extravagant!” A birthday gift costing over a billion was unreal.
