?Chapter 792:


    Linden had even entertained the thought that Dani’s disappearance would go unnoticed.


    Yet, in this moment, he realized his misconception. A woman who had climbed to the CEO position of a top global firm must possess significant personal strength.


    Her striking features had obscured the evident truths.


    Though Linden was driven by desire, he valued his life above all. Desperately, Linden exined, “Ms. Harper, I assure you, I had no part in this. I wanted Nina. I was clueless about why Elyse dragged you here instead. Elyse is greedy, but I am not involved.”


    Dani’s expression did not waver. She idly yed with a knife, her lips curving into a mysterious, subtle smile.


    “Ms. Harper, what are you implying? Please, I’m telling the truth. Check my phone. It was Elyse, that deceitful woman, who couldn’t locate Nina and substituted you because you were avable. This wasn’t my n.”


    Only in his underpants, Linden shivered as the cold air rushed in from the open window. Dani had tied him to a chair.


    “Ms. Harper, please can you say something?”


    Dani released a chillingugh. She gazed at Linden and whispered, “Did you know? When wealthy peoplemit murder, someone always cleans up. It’s like it never happened.”


    Linden’s face paled, his eyes wide with fear.


    “Elyse mentioned she couldn’t find Nina, but found me instead. You were okay with that, weren’t you?” she added.


    Linden didn’t know how to defend himself this time.


    “How would you like to meet your end? It’s your choice,” Dani murmured with a smile that was both alluring and dangerous, like a beautiful yet deadly rose, leaving Linden frozen with fear.


    “Do you prefer falling from the 48th floor, or perhaps drowning in a bathtub suits you better? Or shall we arrange an idental electrocution? Thatst one’s quick—over in seconds. You wouldn’t feel a thing. What do you think?” Dani’s manner of listing the death options was as casual as one might discuss the day’s weather.


    Shaking uncontrobly, Linden pleaded, “Ms. Harper, please understand, I had no part in this. Elyse promised me time with Nina in exchange for a favor, but murder was never my intention, I promise you that!”


    A slight smile yed on Dani’s lips, her voice light. “Really now?”


    Linden gave a frantic nod. Without a word, Dani pulled out her phone and began to y back recordings of every conversation Linden had shared with Elyse and Natalie.


    Linden’s eyes bulged with realization as he faced Dani. “You’ve known everything all this time! Then why…?”


    With a softugh, Dani replied, “Why did I allow myself to be brought here today? I was curious to see whether you were behind the attempt on my life or if it was those two women.”


    A cold shiver ran through Linden. Stuttering, he insisted, “It wasn’t me, I swear. I would never dare.”
