?Chapter 1662:


    He sent invitations far and wide, filling the guest list with Oiscoll’s most notable names. It became the event of the season.


    His young bride, dressed in a flowing gown, glided from guest to guest with practiced ease.


    Dani stayed to the side while Carol leaned in and whispered, “Dani, I just heard something wild.”


    Dani nced over. “What?”


    “Felicia was the girl Mason fell hard for,” said Carol. “But she didn’t feel the same. He never won her over.”


    Dani raised an eyebrow and spotted Felicia across the crowd. The girl lifted her ss in a toast, her smile calm and sure. Dani returned the gesture, amused.


    “She’s definitely not ordinary,” said Dani, watching her.


    Midway through the ceremony, just as Dani was about to step out, she heard someone calling after her. She turned and saw Felicia hurrying over, lifting her dress slightly so she could walk faster.


    “I’m sorry I couldn’t wee you properly today, Ms. Harper,” Felicia said, smiling.


    Dani lifted a brow, her expression unreadable.


    Felicia dropped the hem of her dress and met Dani’s gaze. Dani’s sharp features stirred a quiet envy in her, but it wasn’t the kind that made her insecure. She knew better than to rely on beauty alone. Victoria had been beautiful too—and look how that ended. A woman needed more than a pretty face.


    And that was exactly why Felicia wanted to move closer to Dani.


    She knew Dani didn’t just have beauty. She had brains too.


    Three days after the wedding, they met again—this time at a quiet café.


    Felicia arrived in a fresh couture dress, all grace and polish. She offered a smile and spoke with care. “Ms. Harper, thank you for meeting me. I know this was short notice, but I have a proposal I hope you’ll consider.”


    Dani epted a ss of water from Cedric, took a sip, and set it down. Her eyes followed Felicia’s gaze as it drifted past her shoulder.

    She caught the direction of it and gave a knowing smile. “It’s best not to crave what doesn’t belong to you.”


    Felicia turned her eyes back to her, lips curling slightly. “You’ve always been impressive. When I saw the man at your side, I wondered if he could be shared.”


    Dani didn’t blink. She took another drink. “That won’t happen.”


    Felicia gave a slow nod but couldn’t stop herself from peeking toward Cedric again.


    The man had a quiet pull. He wasn’t like Josh, who was already old. He wasn’t like Mason either, emotional and impulsive. There was something about Cedric—something steady.


    She pulled her attention back with a sigh. “If I had met him earlier, I might’ve taken a chance.”


    Dani’s voice remained cool. “I don’tpete.”


    And truly, Cedric’s quiet presence only confirmed that she’d made the right choice. Felicia let out augh, her eyes warm. “I was wrong before. You’re even more intriguing than he is.”


    Dani leaned back, unbothered.
