?Chapter 839:


    Amidst the waves of admiration, Dani approached the stage to give her speech.


    Her eyes scanned the audience, briefly stopping when she saw Doug with Joyce at his side. A few steps behind them was Natalie. A subtle smile yed on Dani’s lips.


    “Enough talking! Enjoy the evening, everyone!” With those words, Dani stepped down from the stage.


    As she moved away, the smile slowly faded from her face.


    She sat down, radiating an air that unmistakably warned off any strangers. A few corporate executives who had nned to approach her with a toast quickly thought better of it and backed off, intimidated by hermanding presence.


    One of them pulled Lillian aside and asked, “Has Ms. Harper seemed upset recently?”


    Lillian raised an eyebrow. “Really?”


    “Definitely! At the auctionst night, Ms. Harper bought everything. Lillian, what’s going on with her?”


    Lillian offered a slight smile. “Nothing major. She’s just been busy.”


    Dani wasn’t interested in socializing. Instead, she sipped her drink, her gaze subtly following Natalie, who was doing everything she could to get closer to Doug.


    Meanwhile, Joyce kept a close watch, making sure Natalie had no opportunity to get any closer.


    Nina attempted several times to distract Joyce, but Joyce consistently declined.


    Eventually, Nina, running out of strategies, gave Dani a desperate look from across the room.


    ???????? ???????? ?????????? ???? g????????ν????????????


    Dani picked up her ss, poured herself another drink, and headed straight over.


    Joyce, unaware of Dani behind her, sensed a strong gaze on her.


    Turning around, she saw Dani approaching with a wine ss in hand. Instinctively, Joyce stepped back, but Dani continued moving forward, step by step.


    Doug sensed the tension and asked, “What’s going on?”


    Before Joyce could reply, Dani poured her wine over Joyce’s head.


    “Dani, have you lost your mind?” Joyce gasped.


    The entire room went quiet.


    Nina’s mouth fell open, and she silently cheered, “That was epic!”


    Natalie blinked, a cunning smile curling the edges of her mouth.


    Doug remained frozen, his eyes locked on the captivating woman as Dani effortlessly walked past him.


    He inhaled deeply, his eyes shining with admiration as he watched Dani.


    “Dani, what’s the reason for this? I haven’t done anything to upset you tonight.”


    Joyce, now sttered with red wine, looked at her ruined white gown.


    “Oops! My bad. It was an ident.”


    “ident? What ident ends up pouring wine all over someone’s head?” Joyce didn’t buy it.


    “Nina, could you please escort our guest to get changed?” Dani asked.


    Joyce was about to make morements about the cost of her dress when Dani added, “Let’s offer her Elite Lux’stest masterpiece, ‘Rose Rendezvous.''”
