?Chapter 1062:
Caiden shot a furious re at the captain. “Say something! What game are you ying?”
The captain shrugged, his expression resigned. “What can I say? You’re selling the building. I’m just a security guard. There’s nothing I can do about it. Whether I’m happy or not doesn’t change anything, so I choose to be happy.”
Caidenughed and responded, “That’s a wise approach!”
Disdain flickered in Caiden’s eyes as he instructed, “Inform everyone inside that as of tomorrow, this ce will no longer be known as Elite Lux. Don’t bother showing up!”
The captain smirked, watching Caiden’s departing figure.
“It’s simple,” Caiden said, returning to Joyce. “They’ve epted the situation. Once the buyer finalizes the deal, we’ll quickly secure the money.”
Joyce agreed. “Yes, we might have to ept a lower price, but we need to sell it quickly. Cedric isn’t someone we can easily handle.”
Caiden scoffed at her remark. “No matter Cedric’s capabilities, would he really dare im Dani’s assets? Dani is my daughter, and what’s hers is mine. Besides, Elite Lux was her property before marriage, so it naturally belongs to me. Cedric has no stake in it. Unless Dani is somehow alive, everything at Elite Lux belongs to me.”
Joyce smiled slyly. “How could Dani be alive? The explosion was so severe that not a trace of her was found, just a piece of her clothing left in her grave. The idea of her being alive is ridiculous!”
Joyce’s tone took on a mocking edge. “Dani’s two followers didn’t survive the st either. Cedric only escaped because a bodyguard miraculously saved him. He was incredibly fortunate.”
Caiden sighed, a note of regret in his voice. “If only Cedric had met the same fate. Then everyst bit of Dani’s fortune and Phillips Group’s assets would have been mine without question.”
Joyceughed at the thought.

A sh of the captain’s smug expression crossed Caiden’s mind, stirring a flicker of unease. He fell silent, and when Joyce nced at him doubtfully, he murmured, “Dani is definitely dead, right?”
Joyce chuckled. “Yes, of course.”
As Caiden’s words hung in the air, his unease deepened. The haunting memory of the mental institution’s decayed corridors remained etched in his mind. He recalled the unknown benefactor who had unlocked the door that night, providing him an escape. A return to that ce was something he had vowed to avoid at all costs.
Though he considered himself fearless, the ordeal at the institution had instilled a profound fear of Dani within him—a fear that ran deep, to the core. He clung to the hope that Dani was indeed gone, utterly destroyed in that explosion with no possibility of survival.
Observing Caiden’s ashenplexion, Joyce attempted to calm him. “Rx. The entire world believes Dani is dead. If she were alive, would Elite Lux be in such disarray? You’re worrying unnecessarily.”
In a more subdued tone, Caiden expressed his concerns. “I truly hope I’m just being paranoid. Regardless, this afternoon, we need to finalize the sale of Elite Lux, whatever the cost, and secure the funds.”
