Chapter 61:
“Daniela!” Caiden’s voice hardened, his eyes narrowing with a warning edge.
“Mind your words!”
Unfazed, Daniela retorted, “If my memory servescorrectly, you were the one who publicly declared that our
father-daughter ties were severed. It was in the newspapers, wasn't it? Perhaps you've forgotten. It's
understandable, considering your lovely new wife and darling daughter are now in the picture. Don’t worry—I
saved a screenshot of that announcement. Would you like to see it?” Caiden’s expression tensed visibly.
Undeterred, Daniela pressed on.
“Since we're nothing to each other anymore, letask—what twisted logic made you think bringing your
pathetic family into my hwas okay?”
Her gaze briefly swept over the housekeeper and then to the movers.
“You've hit my staff and started seizing my possessions. So, | must ask—what is this, if not daylight robbery?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStepping forward, Joyce interjected sharply, “Daniela, don’t twist this into something terrible! We're taking your
stuff because you actually matter to us!”
Daniela’s frosty expression didn’t waver as she fixed her piercing eyes on Joyce.
“Oh, really? Should | applaud you for that?”
For a moment, Joyce stumbled, her composure cracking like fragile glass.

Stepping in, Katrina coaxed, “Daniela, you're being overly harsh. | understand you're hurt because your father
declared he’s cutting ties with you, but consider his age—he can be rash at times. Do you truly want to cling to
resentment? Bonds between father and daughter aren't so easily dissolved by a mere public statement.
You've been part of the Harper family for over twenty years—don’t pretend you made it all on your own. Let's
not ruin family ties with needless stubbornness.”
Katrina was the epitof hypocrisy—sweet on the surface, venomous underneath. Unaware of her duplicity,
Caiden absorbed only the words that suited his narrative. He truly thought Katrina was the peacemaker of the
family.
His expression hardened further, his eyes locking on Daniela with a freezing intensity. In his eyes, she was
nothing more than a spoiled brat who didn’t know how to appreciate anything.
Daniela, however, was no stranger to Katrina's manipulations. She lifted her hand, signaling an end to the
discussion.
“Stop pretending this was all simpulsive mistake. Let's face it, Dad—you couldn’t wait to cutloose,
could you?”
Caiden was obsessed with his image, and the idea of eating his words, especially with Cedric watching, was
utterly humiliating. To concede a mistake in such a scenawas unthinkable. His expression darkened, a storm
brewing in his eyes. As he parted his lips to protest, Katrina slid gracefully into the seat next to him, her fingers
lightly pressing his, and whispered, “If we upset Daniela, how will we convince her to give those floors to Joyce?
She's your daughter. What's the point of holding a grudge against her? After all these years of raising her, would
you really want to see all your efforts go to waste?”
Caiden’s jaw tightened, a visible tremor of frustration rippling through him.
“Are you suggesting | should just submit to her demands now?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a serene smile, Katrina embodied both innocence and empathy.
“She’s your daughter. Is it really that demeaning to yield a little for her? But if the thought is too bitter for you,
allowto be the peacemaker.”
Rising with deliberate grace, Katrina bent forward into a deep, respectful bow.
“Daniela, | accept the blfor everything that has transpired. As your stepmother, I've let you down. Please,
don’t punish your father for my mistakes. | see you're upset, and | want to apologize. I'm sorry. Can we move
past this and focus on what's ahead?”
