?Chapter 658:


    His grip tightened, making Joyce’s heart squeeze in pain.


    “Dani is great, sure, but you’re not bad either.”


    “Doug, I was raised in the countryside. Dani is different. When Brylee was pregnant with Dani, she supposedly consumed every supplement imaginable. As a result, Dani turned out with wless skin and striking looks. She is an exceptional beauty.


    You take pride in possessing every woman you encounter, but until now, your conquests have been nothing more than ordinary flings. Doesn’t that bother you?”


    Doug was on the verge of snapping at Joyce, but he hesitated. Inparison to Dani, the women he had been with truly did seem ordinary.


    Dani was someone he hadn’t been able to touch.


    A menacing spark flickered in Doug’s eyes, and Joyce noticed it. She stretched out on the bed, feeling herself nearing a breakdown.


    She remembered his earlier warning: if she humiliated him, her life would end right there on that bed.


    Struggling to breathe, Joyce whispered, “I can help you. Just don’t kill me, and I’ll help you capture Dani.”


    Doug looked at her with doubt.


    Joyce continued, “I’m at your mercy. I can’t escape. If I fail, you can end my life then.


    You’re done with me, aren’t you? Are you scared you won’t be able to handle Dani? Didn’t you boast that once a woman has been with you for a night, she’ll never desire anyone else? Are you not interested in putting that to the test?”

    Doug stayed kneeling, motionless for a long moment. He knew Joyce was using Dani as a bargaining chip to save herself, yet the idea of conquering Dani was too captivating to dismiss.


    Whenever he nced at Joyce these days, he envisioned Dani instead. The mere thought of Dani under him excited him. He was convinced that if Dani agreed to be with him, he would leave behind all his harshness and treat her with tenderness.


    Joyce watched Doug rise and leave. Shortly after, a team of doctors hurried in from the corridor. As exhaustion overwhelmed her, one final thought surfaced: the suffering had stopped.


    Later, Joyce approached Alexander, her face still marked by scars.


    “Doug is aware of our actions,” Joyce said, her thick sunsses barely hiding her new injuries. She casually adjusted them and told Alexander, “I’ve struck a deal with Doug.”


    Alexander stared at Joyce without saying a word. Rarely did anyone who crossed Doug get away so easily.


    “What did you promise him?” he asked.


    Joyce paused to sip her coffee. Her trembling hands, visible up close, revealed the extent of her injuries.


    “Dani.”


    Hearing her name, Alexander felt a tightening in his chest.


    “What did you say?” he asked sharply.


    “Doug wants Dani. Once it’s settled, he’s offering me three hundred million as my divorce settlement. With that money, Bet Group would no longer face any financial problems.”


    Alexander’s eyes narrowed, and his brow furrowed.


    “Dani wouldn’t get involved with Doug. And you expect me to believe you’d actually put that three hundred million into Bet Group?”


    Joyce shed a faint smile.
