    When Danie returned to Xander Residence that night, Grayson asked, “E, why didn’t you go to the


    Danie had crafted an excuse on her way home. “Grandpa, you know mypany is in the fashion


    industry. I had to visit a fashion factory.”


    Her response elicited a grin from him. “Ah, you went to negotiate a deal. Are you tired?”


    Pouting and rubbing her neck, Danie replied, “Yes, I’m exhausted. Grandpa, I’m going to rest


    upstairs.”


    “Go ahead.”


    Once Grayson retreated to his room, Danie sneaked upstairs and changed into ordinary clothes to


    avoid Evan’s men tailing her. She then hailed a taxi and headed to Vi Foresta in the northern


    suburbs.


    Thirty minutester, Danie arrived at Casey’s house and stepped out of the car. She approached the


    door, but a stern–looking bodyguard blocked her path.


    Confused, Danie furrowed her brows. I’m here to see Casey. Why are you stopping me?”


    The bodyguard replied, “Mr. Jordan is not currently avable to meet with outsiders.”


    “Outsiders?” Danie widened her eyes. “Look at me! I’m no outsider!”


    The bodyguard remained resolute. “You can tell Mr. Jordan yourself.”


    Reluctantly, Danie decided against causing a scene and called Casey.


    After a brief wait, Casey answered.


    “E?” Casey’s voice sounded gentle. “Why are you calling me at this hour?”


    Danie adopted a flirtatious tone. “Casey, why is your bodyguard blocking me?”


    Casey coldly nced at the wounded and bloodied woman nearby, whom he had abused. “I’m getting


    ready. I’ll open the door for you in a bit.”


    Although Danie was doubtful, she kept her words brief. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”


    After ending the call, Casey got up and grabbed the woman by her long hair, dragging her to a guest


    room.


    The woman woke up in pain and screamed in terror upon seeing Casey. “No… please, stop. I was


    wrong.

    Casey halted and warned, “I won’t hesitate to silence you if you make a sound.”


    She was in pain but instantly fell silent as Casey removed her from the room.


    Ten minutester, Casey descended the stairs in his bathrobe and opened the door for Danie. Her


    face was flushed from the biting cold, and Casey felt sorry for her. He took her hand and led her to the


    living room, covering her hands with his.


    “Silly, are you cold?” he asked.

    Danie’s eyes welled up. “You took so long, Casey. It is freezing outside at midnight.”


    Casey then ced her hands against his warm body and smiled gently. “Feeling warmer now?”


    Danie nodded with contentment. ‘Yes, I’m not cold anymore… Casey, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you


    yesterday.‘


    Casey caressed her face. “It’s alright. I understand the need for discretion.”


    Danie then nestled into his arms. “I want to stay with you tonight, Casey.”


    Casey held her head and spoke coolly. “You need to be cautious, especially since you’ve recently had


    contact with Evan.”


    His refusal made her sigh. “Alright. I’ll wait and be with you after some time.”


    Casey asked, “How’s Axel doing?”


    “It appears he can undergo the surgery tomorrow,” Danie replied.


    “Well, that’s quite swift.”


    Danie extricated herself from Casey’s embrace. “You don’t want it to happen so soon?”


    Casey shook his head. “There’s no rush for you to do anything. I’m just d you’re safe.”


    Danie was moved to tears. “Thank you for being so kind to me, Casey.”


    With that, she leaned in to kiss his cold lips, igniting a spark in Casey’s mind as he thought of


    Caroline’s passionate and aloof demeanor.
