Chapter 114:
“No rush. The signing has been rescheduled for later this afternoon.” Caiden, Katrina, and the assembled
reporters all inhaled sharply in shock.
This meeting was no ordinary affair—it was a crucial discussion about an international contract worth billions of
dollars. And Cedric had rescheduled it as if it were a mere inconvenience.
That very morning, a throng of media representatives and top-tier executives had converged outside the Phillips
Group headquarters, all eager to witness the landmark signing of this colossal agreement.
Yet now, Cedric had postponed it.
His boldness left everyone present utterly dumbfounded. Amid their astonishment, it becglaringly clear—
Daniela held a place in his life so vital, no one could ever hope to fill it.
The gravity of this insight rendered the crowd deathly quiet, with nobody daring to break the silence.

floor with a grating sound, and took a seat near the security station. Propping his chin on his hand, he leaned
forward with a challenging look.
“Look, I'm merely here as an observer. Proceed and engage with the CEO of Elite Lux. Act as if I'm not even
here.”
Silence enveloped the lobby once more.
He wanted them to ignore his presence? The notion seemed absurd.

The icy, piercing sharpness of his stare was palpable.
Unless they suddenly went blind, ignoring Cedric’s overbearing presence was completely out of the question.
The reporters exchanged uneasy glances, uncertain whether to stay or leave the scene.
Even Caiden, who had walked in with confidence, now seemed eager to leave.
But Katrina wasn’t ready to let it go. She subtly tugged at Caiden’s sleeve.
She had dropped nearly twenty thousand dollars to bring these reporters here. If they left now, it would be a
complete waste of money. Besides, they hadn't yet accomplished what they cfor.
Katrina leaned in and whispered to Caiden, “Do you want to fix things with Daniela or not?”
Caiden bit his lip, clearly wanting to say something, but after catching a glimpse of Cedric’s expression, he held
back.
“Daniela, | shouldn't have slapped you yesterday. I'm here to apologize. Katrina and | got up early today and
made this soup just for you. Eat it, and let's put everything behind us.
Yesterday was a mistake. Please don’t hold it against me.”
The reporters behind him were snapping photos, capturing every word and every exaggerated gesture.
Katrina smiled warmly. Rather than passing the insulated lunchbox to the secretary behind Daniela, she opened
it herself.
The rich scent of soup filled the air, and the reporters began snapping shots of it.
“Con, darling, just take one little sip, and we can forget all about what happened. Take a look around—
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthere's a whole crowd here watching us. Even though you're the CEO of Elite Lux now, it wouldn't hurt to show a
bit of respect to your dad. And as for those things you said yesterday about cutting ties, those shouldn't be said
again. Do you have any idea how much it hurt your father? He sighed all night. Look at him; he’s even got a
white hair now, all thanks to the stress.”
Her words depicted Caiden as a caring, regretful father who deeply regretted losing his temper and slapping his
daughter.
