?Chapter 837:


    Lillian still didn’t understand.


    Dani turned to the vast skyline beyond the floor-to-ceiling window. “One day, when you truly love someone, you’ll get it.”


    The bond that once felt unbreakable could be the sharpest de, cutting deeper than any wound.


    A single conversation could tear two people apart.


    Dani fell silent, lost in thought.


    Maybe Lillian was right. Cedric had so many paths ahead of him. Maybe walking away from her would lead him to something better—something happier.


    And her own heartbreak? That didn’t matter as much.


    Dani carried on with her days—work, meals, sleep.


    She slowly distanced herself from Cedric, her warmth fading into a surface-level politeness.


    She could feel Cedric’s unease.


    She could feel him pulling away.


    But she, unwavering and relentless, kept pushing forward, leaving him with nowhere left to retreat.


    Cedric was truly afraid.


    He chose the farthest business trip he could find and put as much distance between them as possible.


    Lillian had seen firsthand just how ruthless Dani could be, and it unsettled her.


    Che


    “Dani, Natalie approached Doug at that auction the other day, but Joyce is keeping a close watch. Natalie hasn’t had a chance to make a move yet.”


    Dani’s expression remained unreadable, her presence as cold and unyielding as ice. “If there’s no opportunity, then make one. Host a g under Elite Lux’s name and ensure Doug is on the guest list.”


    Elite Lux’s gs were the crown jewel of Olisvine’s social scene.


    Lavish venues.


    Exquisite champagne.


    Relentless media attention.


    Natalie wasted no time turning to Dani for help. Dani smirked and flicked the invitation card in her hand onto the floor without a second thought. Natalie immediately bent down to retrieve it.


    Linden stood nearby, his re sharp with disgust as he spat, “Bitch.” Natalie remained unfazed.


    Iftching onto Doug meant enduring scorn, so be it.


    She was willing to do whatever it took.


    After all, who was Linden to her? Just one of Dani’sckeys.


    Natalie left Elite Lux, invitation in hand, and ran into Nina.


    Natalie said, “Dani seems offtely. Any idea why? Did she and Cedric actually fall out?”


    Natalie was plotting something. If Dani and Cedric were truly over, then between Cedric and Doug, she’d much rather choose Cedric.


    Nina leaned against the elevator wall, her expression unreadable. “Dani and Cedric are fine. Stop overanalyzing.”


    Natalie let out a sharpugh. “Fine? You’re awfully protective of their marriage. Funny, considering you used to be so in love with Cedric yourself.”
