Chapter 845: Joyce scoffed dismissively. “Natalie? She's naive! She doesn't know Doug is difficult to handle at all!" Alexander remained silent, his demeanor cold and detached, his eyes as piercing as Cedric's.
Joyce narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "What's your angle in saying all this?" Alexander responded calmly, "You are Doug's wife now. Should anything happen to him, you'd inherit everything. That's when you'll truly be independent." Joyce stared at Alexander, stunned. "You wantto kill Doug?" "There's no need for you to get involved.

"Alright, you eliminate Doug for me, and I'll manage Daniela and Cedric on your behalf. You aim to be the sole Cedric, correct? I'll help you, but there's something you need to know first...” Joyce paused, running a finger along Alexander's changed face. "Cedric must live. I want him."

Alexander's gaze hardened. "That's not your concern. Just make sure! Cedric is taken care of, and I'll make sure I'm the only Cedric to Daniela." Lately, Daniela hadn't been sleeping well, and her distress was evident on her face.
