?Chapter 770:


    Lillian leaned in. “And Elyse? What’s your move?”


    Dani’s smile waned slightly. “Once desperation hits, they’ll turn to their backer. Just wait a little more; the time is near.”


    As Dani’s car neared the vi, her phone buzzed.


    She stepped out to take the call, while Lillian crossed her arms, waiting. “Hello?”


    A thrilled voice crackled through. “Dani, there’s a hundred-million-dor hit on you.”


    Dani’s gaze flicked to the glowing vi. Through the vast windows, the interior was clearly visible.


    Cedric, now in fresh lounge wear, lounged on the sofa, engaged in a phone call.


    Just then, her other phone buzzed, yet she chose not to answer right away.


    Instead, Dani addressed the caller. “Russell, did they send the money?” She suspected Natalie was behind it.


    “Nope. They just mentioned selling a vi.”


    “Alright, our doors are open to all. If they bring business, ept it,” Dani said.


    Russell chuckled. “Who’s feeling generous enough to spend that much on your head? So, Dani, how would you like to go?”


    Just before she could reply, the vi door swung open, revealing Cedric stepping into the light, approaching her.


    “Enough with the jokes. Ensure they pay up quickly.”


    ???????????????? ???????????? @ g???????ν?????????????


    Russell snickered. “Imagine their reaction when they realize they’re funding our boss’s assassination.”


    Dani responded coolly, “I have to go.”


    Cedric asked, “Who was that? What assassination?”


    Dani smiled. “No one. You must be mistaken.”


    That night, in bed, a bedsidemp cast a warm glow.


    The gentle, amber light stretched across the floor and walls.


    After a fervent moment, Cedric pulled Dani close.


    He murmured against her ear, “I know there’s a lot you keep from me, but Dani, I’m your husband. Do you get that? I know I can’t sway you, but let me be clear about this. Dani, you don’t have to share everything with me, but if you allow yourself to be hurt, it will break…”


    Dani’s safety was something Cedric had always insisted on.


    Dani had assured him that she would not get hurt.


    However, the following day brought an unexpected injury for her.


    As Cedric entered, he found Lillian tending to Dani’s hand.


    A grim expression clouded Cedric’s face, signaling his brewing concern. Catching his look, Lillian instinctively shrank.


    Standing nearby, Natalie and Nina also couldn’t help but tense. Cedric’s brow was knotted with concern as he asked coldly, “What happened?”


    Silence fell over the room; no one dared to speak.


    Looking up with a gentle smile, Dani reassured him, “It’s merely a minor ident from the elevator acting up.”


    Acknowledging her words with a nod, Cedric inspected her hand briefly before departing with a troubled frown.
