Chapter 983

    ?Chapter 983:


    Elyse slumped into a corner, trembling. Natalie thrashed against her restraints, her voice ringing with venom as she screamed, “Dani, you just wait! I’lle back! I’lle back and kill you!” That threat left Cedric on high alert.


    From the day Natalie was locked up to the final court ruling, Cedric was present at every stage, ensuring justice was served.


    It was only after the verdict was sealed that Cedric finally exhaled, releasing the breath he hadn’t realized he was holding.


    Dani, however, remainedposed throughout.


    “Babe, even thinking about it now gives me chills,” Cedric admitted.


    Dani responded with a small, knowing smile.


    “But seriously, how did you dodge like that? It was incredible!”


    “Oh? Did it look that cool?” Dani teased.


    “Absolutely! I even tried to recreate it a few times after, but I couldn’t pull it off!” Cedric confessed, still baffled.


    Dani let out a soft chuckle. “In moments of crisis, the body releases adrenaline, triggering instinctive reactions. It’s a natural response.”


    Cedric nodded, taking her exnation at face value.


    With Natalie out of the picture, Elyse suddenly turned her attention to Nina, showering her with an almost suffocating amount of affection on set.


    To outsiders, she seemed like the perfect, doting mother.


    But Nina knew better. Natalie was gone, and Elyse could only rely on her now.


    Updates always live at galησv??ls


    “Nina,” Elyse cooed, setting a ss of water in front of her. “Don’t you find it inconvenient living at Dani’s? You’re a rising star now—you have fans watching you. Staying at her ce isn’t ideal. Why don’t you ask Dani to let you move into our old vi instead?”


    Nina’s gaze remained cold, unreadable.


    Elyse pressed on, her tone sickeningly sweet. “Dani was going to give that house to Natalie anyway. What difference does it make if you take it instead?”


    Nina didn’t even need to think twice. “It’s you who wants to move into the house.”


    Elyse let out an awkward chuckle. “Sweetheart, I just worry about you living alone. And let’s be honest, this isn’t even your ce. Dani may not say anything, but Cedric? Over time, he’s bound to mind. And Lillian? You know how difficult she can be. Wouldn’t you be better off somewhere else? Come live with me, and I’ll take care of you. You’ve always said I yed favorites, but this is my chance to make it up to you, alright?”


    Nina let out a sharp scoff. “So, Mom, your idea of making it up to me only works in a big house?”


    Elyse frowned slightly, still not used to being patient with Nina.


    Elyse sat in silence, unable to shake her frustration.


    With Natalie in jail, Nina was the only one left by her side. Yet, she had never seen much value in Nina.


    Due to her bias, Nina’s upbringinggged significantly behind Natalie’s in every aspect.


    Elyse exhaled slowly, her chest tight.


    Just then, her phone rang. A nce at the screen revealed thewyer’s name.


    “Dury, your daughter, Natalie Dury, has requested to see you.”


    Without hesitation, she answered, “I’ll be there.”
