Chapter 109:
In fact, she reminded him so much of her mother—strong, unshakable, like wild grass that stood firm even in the
harshest storms.
Caiden stopped, his pruning scissors frozen in mid-air.
Maybe he had overstepped with that slap. It had been more forceful than he had meant it to be.
Katrina had been sitting nearby, watching the whole thing unfold. That morning, Bennett Group's stock had
taken a dive, trading was halted, and the online boycott showed no sign of slowing down.
She blinked, her mind working. She noticed the brief flicker of regret in Caiden’s eyes and made up her mind.
Slowly walking towards him, she spoke in a calm, reassuring voice.
“Caiden, that slap was a bit too much.”
Caiden turned to look at her, a mix of annoyance and regret on his face.
“You're right. Why didn’t you step in and stop me?”

“I'm not even sure if Daniela will really go through with cutting ties. She’s running Elite Lux now, and if she turns
her back on us, it'll be a huge loss for me!”
Katrina nodded with understanding.
“Exactly! And Jerry's the one to blame. He kept fueling the fire, making everything worse. If it hadn't been for
him, it wouldn't have escalated so badly.

You know how Daniela lost her mother young, and I've always treated her like my own. Seeing you hit her
yesterday really hurt. Let's not make this worse. How about we go over today, bring her a gift, and apologize? At
the end of the day, we're family. There’s no need to let other people see us fighting and give them something to
talk about.”
Caiden paused, his brow furrowing in thought.
“But I'm her father. If | apologize, won't everyone laugh at me? It'll be a disaster if people find out.”
Katrina gave him a comforting smile.
“Not at all. People will look at you and think, ‘Wow, Mr. Harper is such a loving parent—so forgiving, so kind-
hearted, not holding any grudges against his daughter.'”
Caiden’s scowl eased just a bit. Sensing she was getting through to him, Katrina pressed on, a playful edge to
her voice.
“Daniela has always been so understanding. If she doesn’t forgive us, I'll get down on my knees and beg her for
ie.”
Caiden’s eyes widened, his voice turning sharp and cold once more.
“She wouldn't dare! Who does she think she is? Just us showing up to apologize is already a huge honor to her! If
she expects anything more, she’s completely out of her mind.
You know what? Forget the apology. We'll just send a fruit basket instead. That should be more than enough. It’s
just Daniela—we’re not dealing with royalty here!”
As he spoke, his anger bubbled up, spilling over into muttered curses. A faint smile crossed Katrina's lips,
pleased that she had guided him exactly where she wanted.
Joyce, who had been silently watching the entire exchange, stared wide-eyed. Then, she gave Katrina a thumbs-

That was impressive!
Daniela sank into a deep slumber, yet peace seemed out of reach. Her dreams pulled her back to that
unforgettable summer afternoon.
She was just five years old, her small hands tightly gripping a doll. The sun blazed overhead, and the thick
summer heat filled the air. The sharp sound of something heavy crashing to the ground rang out behind her.
