?Chapter 995:


    Dani pointed at Alexander’s nose. “Your skin is sagging.”


    At her words, Alexander stood up abruptly, wishing for a mirror to check his reflection. “How could that be?”


    He hurriedly searched for a mirror, but there was none to be found in Dani’s office.


    In desperation, he turned on his phone camera and started inspecting his nose from every angle.


    Having had stic surgery, he was particrly conscious about how he looked and what others thought, always aiming for perfection.


    Alexander hadplete trust in Dani’s words.


    So, when she said it, he took it to heart without hesitation.


    He had arrived confident but now feltpelled to leave hastily. “Dani, I need to go,” he said, covering his nose. “We’ll talk about this another time.” With that, Alexander hurried to the elevator.


    As he walked away, Lillian asked, “Dani, is his skin really sagging?”


    Alexander strained to hear as Dani sighed deeply and said, “Anything fake will always fall short of the natural.”


    These words echoed in Alexander’s mind, heavy with implication.


    He felt exposed, like a wed product, and quickly covered his face with a mask.


    Rushing back to his office, he asked his secretary for an opinion.

    His secretary scrutinized him closely. “No, it doesn’t look saggy at all. Actually, I think it looks even better than Cedric’s.”


    The secretary was a tterer and wasn’t in the habit of paying attention to people’s noses.


    He couldn’t recall what Alexander’s nose had looked like before, and he had never met Cedric in person. Yet, offeringpliments was a routine part of his job.


    “Get out!” Alexander suddenly snapped. “You’re all just ttering liars!” He examined his reflection over and over, convinced something wasn’t right. He was embarrassed.


    How could this happen just as he was opening up to Dani?


    “Anything artificial will always fall short of the natural.” Dani’s words stung like needles, making it hard for him to breathe.


    Alexander instructed his secretary to book the earliest possible flight to the country where he had gotten his surgery.


    The next morning, as he hurried out, seven people blocked the entrance to hispany.


    Wearing a ck mask, Alexander was visibly agitated. “Move aside! I have urgent matters to deal with!”


    Hackett was visibly anxious. “What urgent business could you possibly have? Did you see Dani? What did she say? Why is she targeting us again?” This time, it seemed she had targeted him first.


    His reputation had barely started to recover when Dani began making moves. Was she out to destroy him?


    And why target him first?


    Alexander was short on patience. “I’ve told you, I’m busy right now. We’ll talk when I return in a few days.”


    Bruno protested, “A few days? Alexander, are you serious? We’re in the middle of a corporate war! If you’re gone for a few days, we might be wiped out by the time you return!”
