?Chapter 1032:


    “This box costs what she earns in a year. Could she afford something thisvish?” Lillian pressed, her voiceced with skepticism.


    “It was a gift from one of her rtives,” Dani rified.


    Lillian cocked her head, her skepticism deepening. “What kind of rtive would give such an expensive gift?”


    Reluctant to make assumptions, Dani’s expression grew thoughtful, mirroring Lillian’s concern.


    “Dive into it. Verify whether this rtive truly gave her the choctes. If so, arrange for the expense to be covered by her,” Lillian instructed, nodding in acknowledgment before exiting the room.


    However, she paused at the doorway, turning to add, “If someone else passed them to her, the rumors of your pregnancy might be circting. Be cautious.”


    After leaving Dani’s office, the cleaningdy crossed the street from the luxurious Elite Lux building. There, obscured by a mask, stood Alexander.


    “Has she consumed them?” he asked curtly.


    “Yes, she mentioned they were her favorite vor. She expressed her gratitude,” the cleaningdy replied.


    Silently, Alexander handed her another one hundred thousand dors and departed without another word.


    With a sly smile, the cleaningdy pocketed the money.


    Dani had nned to enjoy the choctes after dinner, which made the cleaningdy believe her im of them being consumed wasn’t entirely deceptive.


    Your next tale lives on g ? lnσ ν?? ?s,


    She returned to her duties with a smile.


    Meanwhile, Alexander sat in his car, his gaze detached and frosty.


    He was deeply unsettled. The thought of Dani bearing Cedric’s child troubled him immensely. If that happened, she would never be able to part ways with Cedric.


    He knew Dani well. gued by an unstable childhood, she longed for a steady life. The prospect of a child would bind her to Cedric forever, regardless of her waning affections. She would endure any difort to create the stable family unit she had always desired.


    And where did that leave him in her life?


    He had to act quickly.


    Alexander found Hackett, who was visibly seething with rage.


    “Alexander, do you even realize the audacity of your actions? You’ve managed to exile me from the association! Have you forgotten how eagerly you groveled at my feet for a chance when you first started?”


    Alexander’s gaze was piercing, unwavering. “I had no part in your expulsion. The others lost faith in you. But if you can devise a strategy that benefits the association, perhaps they’ll reconsider your removal.”


    Hackett barked a scornfulugh. “You, of all people, offering me help? How absurd.”


    Unperturbed, Alexander leaned back slightly, his expressionposed. “Hackett, it’s clear you’re intent on undermining Dani. Have you discovered her weakness yet?”
