?Chapter 1671:


    It felt as though he’d signed a pact with something unholy.


    Yet buried beneath the terror, he felt an uncontroble thrill.


    Dani had promised three days.


    In three days, Josh’s wealth would be his.


    Just three days!


    Jules would be the wealthiest person among his brothers.


    His pulse thudded like a drum; his veins surged with fire.


    Back home, Cedric awaited her arrival. When Dani walked in, he passed her a piece of fruit. She bit into it, then smiled.


    Hamilton, standing nearby, added, “Please don’t pull that again. It’s dangerous.” Dani gave a small nod and headed to the living room.


    When the others dispersed, Cedric sat beside her and asked, “Did you meet him?” Dani gave a small hum.


    “And?” Cedric pressed.


    “He says he has proof,” Dani replied.


    Cedric’s gaze sharpened to something lethal. “Good.” From the dining area, Hamilton watched the two interact.


    They were truly enigmatic.


    Both more restrained than the other.


    Both unshakably calm.


    Even when no words passed between them, their energy aligned as if they were alone in a world of their own.


    Once, Hamilton couldn’t stand Dani. He’d wonder why she acted so fragile, why Cedric always had to protect her.


    She was too calcting, always manipting Cedric.

    But after some time observing them, Hamilton realized things weren’t so simple.


    Dani did depend on Cedric. Though Cedric often imed Dani made all the decisions, he wasn’tpletely yielding.


    When it came to safety, Dani respected the boundary.


    In reality, the two were attuned—each understanding what the other needed.


    Dani gave Cedric only the best.


    Whenever Elite Luxunched a new concept, Cedric always received the first piece—even if it was yet another ck suit. In texture and fit, nothing else came close.


    One time, Hamilton approached an Elite Lux designer and asked if he could pay for a suit using Cedric’s material.


    The designer responded, “Unfortunately, that fabric is solely reserved for Mr. Phillips—none left for anyone else.”


    Later, Hamilton learned that the designer only worked for Cedric. When Brad asked Carol how much that cost, she gave a jaw-dropping number. “That’s his yearly fee.”


    Brad was left speechless,ter muttering that he didn’t even earn as much as that designer.


    A little whileter, Dani sought out a different designer and requested an outfit for Hamilton.
