Chapter 75
Chapter 75:
“Daniela, now that you've got the upper hand, it’s tto show smercy.
You've gone too far today.”
Daniela let out a bitter laugh.
“Really? Now that the tables have turned, you're all about mercy? Where was your mercy when | was in the
hospital with a broken rib, wrongly accused by everyone? Back then, not a single person stood up for me.”
Alexander's brow furrowed.
“That's all behind us now.”
Daniela nodded in agreement.
“Exactly, it’s all in the past. And tonight will be just another part of that. What's the matter? Can't handle it when
it’s turned on you? Mr. Bennett, stop being such a hypocrite.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, she slammed the door shut, the sound echoing through the hallway.
The three of them standing outside flinched as one, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at the closed
door.
After being thrown out of Daniela’s home, Caiden had no choice but to settle the bill for the auctioned items.
Tens of millions vanished in the blink of an eye.
On the drive back, Caiden’s face was clouded with anger.
In the car, Joyce cried uncontrollably, her voice thick with emotion.

“It’s all Daniela’s fault! She actually had the police called on me! Mom, you have no idea how scary it was in
there. | was locked in that room all by myself. My legs won't stop shaking, and my hands are still ice cold!”
Katrina's heart shattered for her daughter.
When they arrived home, Katrina comforted Joyce and helped her to her room. Once Joyce was settled, Katrina
crawled into bed, burying her face in the covers as she cried.
Caiden, on the other hand, was seething with frustration.
Daniela’s mother had been a sharp businesswoman, amassing a fortune that she had left behind. But now that
she was gone, all that remained was her inheritance.
Caiden, on the other hand, had never been good with money. He had lost a lot in failed investments early on and
was barely managing to keep things afloat. If they kept spending like they were, what would they have left to live
on in the future?
Dropping tens of millions today felt like a sharp blow to his chest.
In frustration, he snapped at Katrina, “Tell Joyce to stop provoking Daniela!”
Katrina stiffened, taken aback by the harshness in his voice. A moment later, she curled up tighter in the bed,
burying her face in the sheets as her sobs grew louder.
“It’s all my fault! Everyone always says being a stepmother is tough, and now | truly understand just how hard it
is. When | married you, | promised myself I'd treat Daniela like my own daughter. | even swore | wouldn't have
kids of my own just to make her happy. And now, look at me! I'm getting older, | can’t have children anymore,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand Daniela still treatslike I'm nothing. Did you hear what her staff said today? They called Daniela the true
daughter of the Harper family and accusedof being a gold digger! What have | done to deserve this? I loved
you, trusted you, and chose to marry you. | don’t care about the pain I've gone through, but now my daughter,
Joyce, has to suffer too. People are judging her because of me! Maybe | should just disappear!”
Caiden’s heart softened as he listened to her words. He pulled Katrina into an embrace and kissed her gently,
trying to soothe her.
“I can’t let our daughter go through this. Get Daniela to give those floors in Luxor Tower to you. How could | ever
face Joyce otherwise?”
