?Chapter 776:


    Sensing her unease, Nina walked over and asked, “What’s making you so restless?”


    Natalie’s voice cut sharp as she yelped, “Leave me alone!”


    The seventh day arrived.


    Seconds passed, each one seemingly slower than thest. Yet, nothing happened.


    Growing impatient, Natalie attempted to call Cealmaur, only to find the line engaged. With no other options, she sent a text, requesting a callback.


    Natalie kept waiting, but instead of hearing from Russell, it was Elyse who called her.


    Elyse’s voice shook over the phone. “Natalie, it’s urgent. Our house is upied by outsiders. You and Nina need toe back right away.”


    Natalie had been so sure of herself, and the vi had sold so quickly, that she nearly forgot she’d even put it up for sale.


    Upon their arrival, Nina and Natalie were confronted by an elderly man clutching the property title, saying, “Ladies, this property now belongs to my boss. Today marks the final day for you to clear out.”


    At that moment, Dani and her friends were just dropping off Nina. Hearing the old man, Dani turned to Cedric and inquired, “What’s your opinion on this vi?”


    Admiring the surroundings, Cedric responded, “It’s outstanding. Your mother has exquisite taste. This hillside vi is indeed a rare find, and I’ve heard its interiors are just as carefully designed.”


    Nearby, Lillian overheard Dani say, “Let me know if it catches your fancy.”


    Cedric, gazing at the elderly man with the deed, felt a strange sense of recognition. As he pondered this familiarity, he absentmindedly said, “I do like it.”


    Feel the thrill at gα?ησν????s﹒??o??


    After Cedric admitted his fondness, a subtle smile yed on Dani’s lips. “Then it’s yours—a wedding gift from your mother-inw.”


    Cedric snapped his head around. “Huh? What did you just say?”


    Meanwhile, Elyse was in a state of panic. She approached Dani, indifferent to the rain soaking her. Her hair, disheveled and wet, stuck to her face. “Dani, you’re well-connected with many friends andwyers. Can you help me resolve this? It’s outright extortion! I never sold the vi. This vi was a valuable gift from your mother. I’d never part with it, not for anything!”


    Under the protection of an umbre held by Cedric, Dani looked on with a cold gaze. “Is that so?” The gift was valuable, yet it seemed unappreciated.


    “Absolutely,” Elyse said with conviction. “Selling this vi is something I would never do.”


    Dani’s gaze fell on Elyse, taking in her disarrayed state, her emotions detached and cold. “Maybe someone else in your family sold it.”


    Immediately, Elyse denied the possibility. “No, it couldn’t be. Nina is hardly ever home, and Natalie is too well-behaved. She’s the jewel I’ve nurtured; she wouldn’t think of selling the vi without my permission.”


    Dani nodded, then suggested, “Let’s get the police involved.” With that, Dani was about to pick up her phone.


    Elyse stared at Dani, her eyes pleading.


    “Hold off on calling the police. I sold it.”


    Upon hearing that, Elyse froze, her body rigid with shock for a long moment before she slowly turned to face Natalie, meeting her indifferent stare.
