?Chapter 887:


    Richard paused, torn between the allure of profitable deals and the risk of displeasing Dani.


    But his priority was clear—he could not bear the thought of causing her distress. Recognizing the importance of patience, he consented and began a meticulous search for suitable coborators.


    This decision only fueled the fires of rumor. People grew increasingly convinced that Dani had indeed reconciled with the Bet family. After all, why else would they have spurned such lucrative offers?


    Consequently, proposals for partnerships flooded in, one after the other. Within a brief period, Bet Group evolved from a struggling entity into one of the nation’s most distinguished enterprises.


    Nevertheless, the public’s curiosity remained piqued. Why had Alexander kept such a low profile for so long? His knack for business was indisputable. Under his stewardship, Fairburne Group had soared, securing its position as a frontrunner in the industry. Previously, Doug had been too engrossed…


    In his efforts to effectively manage the business, Alexander’s indulgences were clear, while Joyce simplycked the necessary acumen. Therefore, when Fairburne Group published itstest quarterly report, it dispelled any lingering doubts about Alexander’s abilities.


    With the internal machinery running smoothly, Alexander organized a charity auction and extended an invite to Dani. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, he orchestrated a dy for Cedric’s car, ensuring histe arrival at the event.


    Lurking in the shadows, Alexander watched Dani’s face, his fists gradually unclenching after being tightly clenched in tension. In that moment, a wave of satisfaction washed over him, confirming that his efforts had paid off.


    He silently trailed her, choosing not to reveal himself. Instead, he settled into a seat just behind her, his eyes fixated on her with an intensity that bordered on obsession.


    Each time Dani raised her paddle only to lose a bid on an item, Alexander stepped in, securing the auction. The gathered crowd nced at the mysterious masked figure, murmuring among themselves in curiosity.


    Yet, Dani remained oblivious to the murmurs, her attention focused on her phone as she texted Cedric. She asionally participated in the auction before returning to her conversation.

    From his seat, Alexander caught glimpses of her cheek and the subtle smile ying on her lips. A smile crept onto his face as well. He waspletely absorbed, following her every movement with an intensity that was dangerously close to fixation. To him, it seemed impossible to tear his gaze away, even for a fleeting moment.


    Alexander was ovee with a profound sense of regret as the charity auction concluded too soon. He hadn’t spent enough time with Dani, and just like that, the event was over. He was left with a lingering desire for more.


    Compelled by this longing, he followed Dani into the cold evening air. Dani wasposing a message when a voice, rich and familiar, pierced the silence. “Dani.” It was a voice that echoed with the same timbre as Cedric’s. Surprised, she spun around, her face lighting up with a brilliant smile, her eyes gleaming like celestial bodies beneath the grandeur of the streetmps.


    Watching her, Alexander felt his heart warm. “Dani.” Disguised by his mask, he closed the distance between them.


    With a graceful flourish of his hand, he gestured to the people behind him. “ce these items in Dani’s trunk, please.”


    Lillian, her brows knitting in displeasure, walked to the car’s rear, her fingers deftly popping open the trunk.


    Dani looked at the man standing before her. His eyes were identical to Cedric’s. “Alexander?”
