Chapter 744:
“We'll be going now. Natalie, let's go.”
Normally, with Elyse’s emotional awareness, she would have said something comforting, but the events of the
night had left her too shaken. She needed to escape the heavy atmosphere as quickly as possible.
The car door swung open, allowing the cold wind to rush in.
Elyse pulled her coat tighter around her and prepared to step out.
“Aunt, do you think Caiden was right? Was my mother really murdered?” Daniela’s voice was soft but piercing.
In that instant, Elyse froze completely.
Her head snapped around in shock, staring at Daniela, unable to believe what she had just heard.

Daniela, who had been staring out the window, now faced her, her cold gaze locking onto hers.
Her red lips parted slightly as she asked, “Aunt, if it was murder, who do you think killed my mother?”
Elyse stood frozen, completely paralyzed by fear.
Natalie quickly stepped out of the car, rushing to support Elyse, who looked like she was about to collapse.
“Daniela, you're overthinking this. There's no way it was murder. So many people saw your mother jump from
the building that day—everyone saw it too, didn’t you? And your father is insane. How could you take the words
of a madman seriously?”
Daniela’s sharp gaze moved from Elyse to Natalie.
“Natalie.”

Natalie straightened.
“Yes?”
“Over the years, while you were abroad, your mother always said how hard you worked. I've been busy, and
honestly, I've felt guilty about that. My mother really liked you. She once toldshe wanted to cover all your
school expenses. So, was it difficult for you? Did you struggle to afford your studies?”
For the briefest second, something flickered in Natalie's eyes.
“It was fine.”
Daniela’s lips curled into a cold smile. Without another word, she straightened and turned to the driver.
“Marco, takehome.” The car slipped into the darkness, disappearing down the road.
As Elyse watched it drive away, she fell to the ground.

Later, frantically stuffing valuables into a bag, Elyse murmured, “Daniela knows something. I'm sure of it! We
have to leave—right now. If we disappear, she’ll never be able to find anything.”
Standing off to the side, Natalie retorted, “She has no proof. Even if she’s onto something, she can’t do anything
without evidence. And think about it—if she really knew the truth, would she still be this calm? At most, she’s
just suspicious.”
Elyse’s panic only grew.
“Just suspicious? How can you be so sure? Think about what she did today—taking us to see Caiden, testing us
with all those questions, and then making that veiled threat. She's using Caiden as a warning—she'’s telling us to
surrender!”
Natalie scoffed.
“I don’t care what Daniela thinks. Mom, you were able to kill Brylee, take control of Harper Group, and fund my
studies and luxurious life abroad. Now, | have the ambition and confidence to get rid of Daniela, seize control of
Elite Lux, and rise to the top. I'll make sure the Dury family enjoys wealth for generations.”
