?Chapter 1026:


    “I’m fine,” Dani replied casually.


    Cedric was utterly astounded. Dani, a delicate woman, had just sent a man flying back with a single kick?


    What in the world was happening?


    Dani caught Cedric’s bewildered look and quickly rified, “In emergencies, the human body can unlock astonishing strength. That’s why they say…” She lowered her voice so only Cedric could hear. “Motherhood endows a woman with formidable power.”


    Cedric appeared enlightened.


    Lillian, nearby, shook her head.


    Cedric’s gullibility seemed to know no bounds; he’d believe any tall tale.


    Just when Lillian thought she couldn’t endure any more, Cedric added, “Then I should have that power too! Fatherhood must endow a man with strength as well! You don’t always have to fend for yourself. I was ready to intervene just now.”


    Dani looked at him with trust. “Is that so? Then I’ll count on you.”


    Cedricughed, nodding vigorously. “You can always rely on me!”


    Huey sat on the ground, struggling to rise, his mouth agape as he watched the couple’s tender exchange.


    “What the hell!? Have you all forgotten I’m lying here?” Huey shouted, both irate and in pain. “Dani, I’ve been waiting for you all night!”


    Huey couldn’t fathom how a woman like Dani could be so strong. The impact left him feeling dizzy, as if his head was spinning. He struggled to his feet, looking rather pitiful. “Dani, I need to talk to you.”

    They made their way upstairs.


    Huey sat stiffly in a chair, watching as Cedric fed Dani a piece of cake with a spoon.


    “Are you two finished?” he asked, baffled. Weren’t they married for years now? Their affection was reminiscent of a couple still in the honeymoon phase, making Huey feel even more pathetic.


    Dani stepped closer to him. “Go ahead. What is it?”


    Just as Huey was about to speak, Ryan walked in, leaned down, and whispered something in Dani’s ear before handing her a tablet.


    Dani wasted no time looking at it. Huey noticed a sh of displeasure in her eyes, but she masked it almost instantly.


    “Go on,” Dani said. “What is it?”


    Huey replied immediately, “Hackett killed Marcus!”


    His eyes locked onto Dani as he spoke, but she didn’t even flinch. Unable to suppress his suspicion, he asked, “You knew about it?”


    Dani handed him the tablet. Huey nced down and saw a record of arge sum of money transferred by Hackett.


    Confused, Huey asked, “What does this mean? Did Hackett hire a hitman?”


    “No,” Dani replied. “I checked all the surveince cameras along the route, and they were erased. Hackett’s transfer was sent to a high-level hacker organization abroad.”
