?Chapter 794:


    The sting of an empty wallet had be all too familiar to Natalie. Elyse scoffed, prying Natalie’s hand from the waiter’s arm. “Open it,” she snapped, then ordered a round of overpriced steaks.


    As she dug into her meal, Elyse spoke between bites. “Life’s too short, so we should indulge in the finer things. Once Linden’s done, I’ll have him kill Dani. After that, everything she owns will be ours.”


    Natalie’s brow furrowed. “I’m just worried Linden might not have the guts to do it.”


    Elyse threw her head back,ughing. “Oh, he will. He knows the consequences if he doesn’t.”


    Her gaze lingered on her daughter, noting the striking resemnce to Dani. “And when Cedric’s heart shatters over losing his beloved wife, he’ll marry you. Before long, Dani’s and Cedric’s fortunes will be yours. You’ll have everything you ever dreamed of!” Elyse was brimming with excitement at the future she imagined.


    Natalie’s tension eased, a smile slowly spreading across her face. Meanwhile, reporters invited to the hotel to take photos arrived early, their cameras slung over their shoulders.


    Elyse weed them withvish hospitality, pouring fine wine as if it grew on trees.


    Gathered around a grand table, the reporters courteously interviewed Elyse.


    “Ms. Dury, can you confirm if your information is urate? Is Dani truly cheating on Cedric?”


    Elyse nodded solemnly, feigning regret. “I couldn’t believe it myself at first. A close friend, an executive here, saw it firsthand and told me. It’s unfortunate for the family. But I suppose it’s understandable. Dani lost her mother at a young age, grew up without parental guidance, and endured long-term abuse from her stepmother, Katrina. It’s no wonder her way of thinking is so different from most people.”


    A bespectacled reporter leaned forward, eyeing Elyse intently. “I’ve heard Dani’s affair is with her family doctor. Is that true?”

    Elyse sighed dramatically. “Yes. I was the one who introduced the doctor to her. The guilt eats at me.”


    She put on her best sincere face. “I didn’t invite you here to spread rumors. Cheating is wrong, and I hope Dani realizes her mistake and mends her ways. I know you’re all reporters, but please, I ask that you don’t write anything misleading.”


    The reporters exchanged knowing nces, nodding in agreement. “Of course.”


    But one reporter frowned. “When I was at Elite Lux for an interview, I saw Linden. He looked particrly unappealing. Why would Dani be interested in him? Is there more to this than you’re letting on?”


    Elyse’s expression stiffened, but she quickly masked any sign of anger in front of the reporters.


    With a smile, Elyse responded, “There’s no hidden story. They were constantly exchanging nces at thepany. I couldn’t even bear to watch them.”


    The reporter wasn’t convinced. “Considering Dani’s taste in men, I doubt she’d fall for Linden. With her current status, finding a handsome man would be a breeze. So why him?” The reporter pulled out his phone, showing a picture of Linden. “Look, everyone, here’s Linden. And this photo is clearly photoshopped. He looks much worse in person.”
