The old matriarch quickly noticed the change in atmosphere.
“You’re always keeping Niki by your side. Let her go and meet some people,” she chided gently.
Danielle Crawford held her daughter’s hand firmly. “She’s shy. I’d rather she stay here with me.”
The matriarch frowned. “But today is really about the two of them. They should be the center of attention.”
Danielle replied calmly, “It doesn’t matter. When the party formally begins, it’ll be the same.”
There was no need for Niki to mingle with everyone just yet. Danielle felt more at ease with her daughter close by.
Niki piped up, her voice soft but clear, “It’s okay, great-grandma. I just want to stick with Mom.”
Across the room, Raffy glanced over.
She couldn’t help but find the whole thing rather amusing. She’d come here knowing she wasn’t exactly welcome.
Everyone doted on him. Her mother even said that one day, he’d inherit everything from the Davidson family—he’d be the shining star.
When he grew up, whatever he wanted would be his.
For now, he was supposed to focus on his studies and surpass Niki in every way.
He’d always been so much smarter than his silly little sister. Surpassing Niki didn’t feel like any pressure at all.
All around, people were drifting over to talk to Danielle. Her role at Ninesky Technologies was well known now.
Some of the guests were clearly here for business opportunities.
As Danielle was chatting with a few acquaintances, a sudden stir rose by the entrance.
She turned to look.
Millie Fletcher had just arrived.
Not long ago, she’d been the center of a wild storm of rumors online.
Everyone had been wondering whether she would show up at an event like this. After all, she was known as Alexander Davidson’s close friend—practically family. Would she really dare to come?
If she’d stayed away, it would have spoken volumes. But by showing up, she almost seemed to be proving there was nothing between them at all.
Still, people whispered.

Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
