?Chapter 1078:


    Alexander’s response was instant. “No way!”


    Richard nodded in approval. “Then here’s the n. Tell Dani that I’m inviting her over for dinner. We’ve had our share of misunderstandings, and it’s time I make an effort to smooth things over.”


    Alexander hesitated. “I’ll give it a shot. She’s been pretty busytely.”


    “Busy or not, everyone has to eat,” Richard said, fixing Alexander with a sharp look. “Do you even realize how many people have their eyes on Dani? I heard the Stout family is already making moves—they’ve sent an intermediary to set up a meeting.”


    Alexander stiffened. “Already?”


    Richard scoffed. “What did you think would happen? Those people don’t y fair. Dani’s marital status means nothing to them—profits are all they care about. You get that, don’t you?”


    Restless, Alexander shot up from his chair. “I’ll go invite her right now. Dad, make sure to prepare her favorite dishes. And when she gets here, please don’t put on airs.”


    Richard waved a hand dismissively. “Naturally. Just get her here—I’ll treat her like royalty.”


    Alexander gave a firm nod before making a beeline for Elite Lux.


    Cedric was heading upstairs with his secretary, who was carrying a box of sushi, when he spotted Alexander storming through the entrance.


    Before Cedric could even process what was happening, Alexander swooped in, snatched the sushi directly from his secretary’s hands, and bolted upstairs.


    The secretary stood frozen, utterly baffled.

    Cedric’s brows knitted together. Fresh from rehabilitation, he had taken the time to prepare the sushi himself—for Dani. He hadn’t anticipated Alexander’s brazen move. Without hesitation, Cedric rushed upstairs.


    Just as he reached the top, he heard Carol’s voice. “Sorry, but Dani isn’t here.”


    Alexander extended the sushi box toward Carol. “Please pass this to her and let her know my father and I are inviting her to dinner. I also need to discuss something with Dani. Would it be alright if I waited here?”


    Carol, unfazed, gestured toward the conference room.


    Alexander offered a small smile and walked over, only to halt in surprise. The room was packed.


    A frown of confusion crossed Alexander’s face as he nced at Carol. She smirked. “They’re all here for the same reason as you—hoping to invite Dani to dinner. Feel free to join the club!”


    Cedric, too, considered staying.


    Just as he moved forward, Carol cut in. “Cedric, don’t you have your own ce?”


    Alexander stilled. “What’s that supposed to mean?”


    Carol remained unfazed. “Exactly what I said. Need me to spell it out?”


    Alexander watched as Cedric stepped forward. Without hesitation, Carol handed the sushi box back to Cedric. “Dani isn’t here. No clue when she’ll be back—or if she’ll be back at all. You’re wee to wait, but if it takes too long, you can leave.”
