Chapter 69:
Once Daniela had finished her breakfast, Josie placed a shawl around her shoulders.
“The mornings carry a bit of a chill. Don’t forget to look after yourself.”
With her characteristic smile beaming, Josie seized a compact shopping cart and set off to purchase groceries.
From the doorway, Lillian observed her departure, her expression radiating pride. Josie was a remarkably
considerate soul, seemingly tailored perfectly to meet Daniela’s needs.
As Josie headed off, Daniela felt a strange sense of recognition, as if she had seen Josie in another tor place
but couldn't quite pinpoint it. After Josie was out of sight, Daniela turned to Lillian with a thoughtful expression.
“She's really sweet, but | have this feeling that things could get messy later. When she returns, let her know—if
anyone from the Harper family shows up, she needs to stay out of it. | don’t want her getting caught up in their
trouble or hurt.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though Daniela had paid the former housekeeper $10,000 to cover medical costs, the entire incident still
lingered heavily on her mind. The image of an elderly woman being slapped by Joyce was something she
couldn't cto terms with. The mere thought of it left Daniela feeling uneasy, weighed down by guilt.
Lillian couldn't erase the image of the old housekeeper’s face, puffed up like a balloon when she walked out. She
cursed Joyce under her breath for what she had done.
After her pointless visit to Daniela, Joyce was seething with frustration. She stormed off to Caiden, tears
streaming down her face as she vented about how badly Daniela had treated her. But Caiden brushed her off
with a careless wave.
“Don’t waste your ton that crazy woman. So what if she’s got smoney now? Do you really think she can
break away from her family? Let's see if she dares to get married without me, her father, escorting her down the
aisle!”
Without her family backing her up, people would surely look down on her. Sooner or later, she'd have to swallow
her pride and crunning back to him for help.
Caiden'’s self-assurance didn’t waver. Joyce sulked and turned to Katrina, silently asking for her opinion on the
matter.
Katrina just shook her head slightly, saying nothing.
Later, when it was just the two of them, Joyce couldn't keep her frustration bottled up.
“Mom, why can’t | ask him to defend me? Did you see how arrogant Daniela was yesterday? | was so mad |
thought I'd explode!”
Katrina, ever calm, sat on the paand poured herself a cup of coffee.
“Honey, you're grown up now.
You need to think beyond just the moment. Do you see what | mean?”
Joyce stared at Katrina, her expression a mixture of confusion and curiosity.
“Lettell you two important things today. First, remember this: in every family, the man is the anchor. If you
can win over the man in charge, the whole house will fall in line. Right now, Caiden has no influence over
Daniela. If you force him to confront her now, it'll just blow up in our faces. Be patient. When the timing is right,

Joyce hung on to every word, nodding intently.
“And what's the second thing?” she asked, curiosity piqued.
“Second, no matter how far a woman climbs in her career, she’ll always find her way back to her family. Take
Daniela, for example—she seems all tough and self-reliant now, but let's not forget how she used to hang on
Alexander's every word.” Joyce blinked, puzzled.
“And what about that?”
