Chapter 706:
Elyse quickly followed, her voice sharp with dissatisfaction.
“Nina, what was that about? She’s your sister! Don’t be so shortsighted. Daniela’s just a cousin.
You're a Dury, remember? Stick with us, grab her wealth, and you'll live just fine.”
Nina's eyes flickered down to Daniela and Cedric outside the building. She asked,
“Do you honestly think I can still live comfortably?”
Elyse opened her mouth to respond with a quick “yes,” but Nina's cold laugh stopped her.
“You never cared about my happiness. Why start pretending now?
I've always been your pawn. If it suited you, you'd discardin a heartbeat.
Natalie's the one you really want, not me.”
With those biting words, Nina stepped into the elevator.

The doors slid shut, leaving Elyse standing there, her face twisted with cold dissatisfaction.
Linden stepped in front of Natalie, blocking her path.
He used “sweetheart” in a tone far too familiar.
Having tasted what he thought was intimacy, his hunger for more grew insistent.
Natalie's disgust twisted her stomach, but she forced the words out through gritted teeth.
“If you don’t make Cedric pay for his life, don’t even think about laying a hand onagain. Ever!”

Linden’s gaze traveled over Natalie, his eyes full of unspoken intentions.
“Don’t worry. I'll keep my word.”
Meanwhile, in the car, Cedric’s fingers remained intertwined with Daniela’s.
The landscape outside blurred into a streak of colors as the car sped onward.
Turning to face Daniela, Cedric let his fingers gently brush the back of her hand—a touch both gentle and full of
meaning. Daniela glanced at him.
“What?”
Cedric’s smile was unguarded, as if the ordeal of his coma had never touched him.
In his gaze, Daniela could see nothing but warmth and unspoken affection.
“Nothing.”
In that serene silence, a smile finally spread across Daniela’s face. In Cedric’s presence, she could lower her
walls, feeling at peace in a way that no one else allowed.
“Honey,” Cedric murmured, his voice gentle as a whisper.
The quiet hum of the car filled the space between them, and Daniela replied just as gently,
“I'm here.”

Up front, the driver couldn’t help but feel like an outsider in their intimate moment.
The car surged forward, completing what should have been a twenty-minute journey in barely half the time.
Cedric shrugged off his coat and pulled Daniela into his embrace. The memory of their argument before he had
collapsed lingered in her mind.
Cedric noticed the unease flickering in Daniela’s eyes. Normally calm and self-assured, he felt a rare moment of
awkwardness and chuckled.
“It was just a disagreement. That doesn’t mean the love between us has vanished.
You're my everything, and | can’t risk staying upset with you. What if you decide you've had enough of me?”
