Chapter 763: Elyse chuckled, oblivious to Daniela's growing annoyance. "Oops! My mistake, Daniela. Don't hold it against me. I'm only looking out for you. A woman should manage her own finances after marriage." Daniela smiled back. "Oh really? I thought you were handling my finances with all these plans. Cedric is precious to me, and I know how to tell the difference between those I'm close to and those I'm not." As soon as Daniela finished speaking, Elyse's face stiffened.
Lillian finally exhaled, the breath she'd been holding escaping in relief after nearly being suffocated by anger. Elyse, visibly irritated, realized Daniela truly knew how to drive her point home. "Fine, you're right. I was mistaken. So, will you agree to these three terms, Daniela?" Elyse stared eagerly at Daniela, her eyes fixed on her red lips, unblinking.

Cedric stood off to the side, his brow knitted in a cold, penetrating stare at Elyse.
Daniela remained composed. "Since it's a promise made by my mother, I will honor it. But for the continued success of Elite Lux, I do have one condition I hope you'll accept." Elyse was ecstatic, already counting her benefits in her mind. Daniela's directness made her regret not asking for even more.
"Alright. Go on," Elyse agreed quickly. She had set three demands, and Daniela only had one; it felt like a fair deal.
Daniela smiled lightly. “Elite Lux is a global corporation. A ten percent shift in shares could stir external turmoil, so I need you to keep this confidential.

After a moment, she asked, "What about Nina and Natalie? Can I tell them?" Daniela shook her head. "No. If that's the case, the agreement is null. Everything I've promised will be rescinded, and you alone will bear the consequences." Elyse hesitated. "But Nina and Natalie are my daughters. If you don't trust Nina, can I at least tell Natalie?" Daniela let out a soft chuckle. Her smile was slight but sharp. “I don't quite get it. The recording from my mother spoke of ensuring your retirement care. Why bring others into this? Or should I be responsible for Nina and Natalie as well?" Elyse was on the verge of agreeing when Daniela shook her head. “If that's the case, I don't have to honor my mother's promise. It was her commitment to you, and Elite Lux is mine. If you have future needs, you can access funds from Harper Group's accounts." "That won't work," Elyse panicked. "Harper Group is in shambles, losing money." Daniela fell silent.

Elyse was greatly tempted, and after a moment, she nodded Alright."
Daniela gave a slight nod. "I'll draw up an agreement. I'll honor your m retirement plans, but if you disclose any details to others, the agreement to will be void."
