?Chapter 774:


    Natalie stormed into Elyse’s room, her patience worn thin. “Mom, I’m starting apany, and I need to move some funds. I want to mortgage this vi.”


    Elyse, busy going over ns for her dream retirement home, barely looked up. Without a second thought, she passed the property deed to Natalie.


    Natalie slid a document across the table, flipping to thest page. “Sign here.”


    Elyse signed without hesitation.


    That evening, Natalie wasted no time—she put the vi up for sale.


    Meanwhile, Dani sat with a tablet in hand, her expression unreadable as she stared at the listing. The vi had once been a generous gift from her mother to Elyse. Now, it was being sold off like a meaningless asset. Her gaze turned cold.


    Natalie hadn’t expected interest in the vi toe so quickly. Just one night after listing, she received an inquiry.


    The agent said it was an unknown wealthy buyer, ready to transfer the money the same day.


    Natalie wanted to raise the price, but the buyer wouldn’t budge. “One billion, not a penny more.”


    From the corner of her eye, Natalie caught a glimpse of Dani and Cedric, their intimate exchange twisting something sharp in her gut. She clenched her teeth. “Deal.”


    The transaction waspleted before midnight.


    As soon as the money hit her ount, Natalie turned to the agent. “Who’s the buyer?” Plenty of people had wealth, but not many could pull together a billion in liquid cash overnight.


    The agent simply smiled. “A private buyer. Their identity is confidential.”


    C????ck ?uthor’s ?o???? h??r??: g???????ν?????????????


    Natalie didn’t press further. She wired the full amount to Cealmaur’s overseas ount.


    “I’ve given up everything. Now, do as I say—kill Dani.”


    The answer was simple, “OK.”


    That night, Natalie fell asleep smiling. When she sold the vi, she told the buyer that she would vacate the vi in a week. By then, she assumed Dani would be dead, and she could move into Dani’s house.


    Her next move was clear: take over Harper Group and the operations of Elite Lux. She pondered whether Cedric would be enough to ept her. If he remained oblivious, she would enlist Linden’s help to handle him.


    Natalie imagined a wless execution of her n.


    Her sleep was peaceful, her face still wearing that smile.


    As she made her way downstairs the following morning, Natalie hummed a melody, her dress cascading gracefully. Elyse watched her with a curious gaze. “What’s got you in such high spirits today?” Offering a forced smile, Natalie remained silent, her expression smug.


    Mid-breakfast, Elyse turned to her. “I forgot to ask yesterday. What was that document you had me sign?”


    Wiping her mouth with a napkin, Natalie responded, “Merely a power of attorney.”


    Unaware of any underlying motives, Elyse said, “What business are youunching? You know, Brylee gave me this vi as a retirement haven, my safeguard. I must hold on to it.”
