?Chapter 1333:


    The experts traded looks. Then one spoke. “Hard to say. It’s too early. The structure’s too bare. Without the design drafts, we can’t make a real assessment.”


    The rest nodded in agreement.


    Hamilton pressed his lips together and turned to Dani.


    She looked thinner than usual. Fully absorbed in her work, she didn’t even seem to notice them. She gave off the impression that their presence didn’t matter.


    Hamilton nced to the side and asked someone nearby, “Where’s Cedric?” They pointed to an upper floor.


    Hamilton looked up and saw Cedric standing near the stairwell, wearing a safety helmet, a white shirt, and dark trousers. He was giving clear instructions, calmly managing the crew.


    Hismands were sharp, his team assignments made sense, and he spoke with steady confidence.


    The people around him followed without hesitation.


    Hamilton watched in silence before walking over to Dani.


    His shadow stretched across her desk. She nced up, slightly curious.


    “Did you need something?” Her voice was even, but there was a trace of interest in her tone.


    Hamilton studied the scene. “Not bad. It takes skill to coordinate a group like that.”


    Dani pointed to Cedric. “They’re here because of him, not me.”


    Hamilton didn’t buy it.


    Dani didn’t bother to exin further.


    g?lnσν???s﹒??o?? is where stories live


    He figured she was just trying to build up Cedric’s image.


    Then he walked away.


    After that, he returned daily. No experts followed him anymore. His hands were always behind his back, his steps unhurried. He didn’t speak much.


    At first, he was just curious—wondering what a man with a limp could really do. But the more he saw, the clearer it became. Cedric was a man who built his own future. He was clever, capable, and dependable.


    He wore button-down shirts or work gear, depending on the day. It didn’t matter—he blended right in. But when it counted, he took charge.


    Eventually, Hamilton started to believe Dani’s words. The team wasn’t here for her. They were here because of Cedric.


    He gave Cedric onest look, then turned to Dani. “If you’re free,e home for dinner.”


    She looked up and gave a softugh. “That offer came toote. When Cedric needed you, you weren’t there. You see what he’s be now. He’s not the…”


    “President of Phillips Group. He’s not my husband. But that doesn’t stop him from shining. He didn’t need favors or shortcuts. He built himself from scratch. You don’t need him, and truthfully, he doesn’t need you.”


    Dani knew—Hamilton wanted a decisive, ruthless heir. But that wasn’t Cedric. Cedric wasn’t cold or ruthless. He was full of warmth and feeling.


    Hamilton narrowed his eyes. “Didn’t you once say you lost your memories? Strange, because the way you stand up for Cedric—it feels like you’ve known him forever.”


    Dani didn’t hide it. “When children don’t get love from their parents, they’ll always find someone who loves them.”
