?Chapter 855:


    Elite Lux hadn’t weed a newborn in ages.


    Cedric suddenly became obsessed with health.


    He exercised five times a week, cut out strong vors, took supplements, and gave up alcohol. He never smoked, but now he banned it at Phillips Group. Even at social events, he refused to let others smoke near him, sipping soup while they toasted with drinks.


    Everyone was stunned. His secretary finally exined, “Mr. Phillips is preparing for a baby. Phillips Group might soon have an heir!”


    Everyone was in disbelief.


    They stared at the secretary. “His wife is the one having a baby, not him. Why is he acting like he’s the one getting pregnant?”


    Soon, all of Olisvine knew Cedric and Dani were trying for a baby.


    At first, Dani was confused. Why did everyone choose such nd meals during meetings? When she questioned them, her partners smiled and said, “Before the meal, your husband…”


    Specifically, they had told us not to urge you to drink or eat strong-vored food since you’re preparing for a baby.”


    As Dani sat in silence, the waiter arrived with warm milk. “Mr. Phillips said you should drink this before your meal.”


    And so, the entire city knew—Cedric was obsessed with having a baby. Meanwhile, Doug’s face twisted with rage. “Joyce, are you ying games with me? You swore Dani and Cedric were divorcing! Now the whole city knows Dani is expecting! Listen up, I have no interest in pregnant women!” Joyce, equally annoyed and confused, tried to make sense of it all.


    Alexander had assured her Dani liked him, so how…?


    Suddenly, Doug pped her across the face.


    The best stories are at g?lnσν????s???????


    Joyce froze, shocked. The next moment, Doug’s fingers wrapped around her throat, his chilling voice sinking into her ears. “Joyce, listen carefully. If you trick me, you’re dead! You have a week. Get Dani into my bed, or you’re done being my wife!”


    With that, Doug threw Joyce onto the floor like discarded trash.


    Fuming, Joyce stormed off to Alexander. She pped him hard across the face. “You swore you had Dani under control! Now she’s going to have Cedric’s baby! Doug set a strict deadline. If I fail to get Dani in his bed this week, I’m dead! What should I do?”


    Red fingerprints marked Alexander’s cheek. His stare grew cold, a flicker of lethal intent shing in his eyes, though it quickly vanished.


    Joyce sank into a chair, scowling. “Seems like Doug’s days are numbered. Got any ns?”


    Alexander adjusted his sses. “Hasn’t Natalie always craved Doug? Drug him, let him die in her bed, and no one will suspect a thing.”


    Joyce’s eyes gleamed at the idea.


    Alexander watched her rush off, his expression hardening.


    He desired Doug’s wealth.


    He craved Dani too.


    Joyce had always been his greatest shame. Only her death could erase it forever.


    Getting rid of Doug wasn’t a difficult challenge. Doug, a man driven by intense sexual desire, could easily be manipted. Simply increasing the dose of his medication before a night with a woman would be enough to get the job done.


    The real issue, however,y in the grudge burning inside Joyce. That snake, Natalie! How dare she try to steal her man, fantasizing about marrying Doug, taking everything Joyce had built?
