Chapter 119:
Surrounded and overwhelmed, Caiden struggled to navigate the relentless flood of inquiries. Joyce continued to
cling to his arm, her pleas tinged with desperation. Katrina, gripped by fear that Daniela might reconsider her
decision and stake a claim, added her voice to the growing clamor.
Meanwhile, Daniela had retreated to the fringes of the chaos.
She stood apart, her expression cool and distant, silently observing the spectacle unfold.
Caiden had reached his breaking point. With a thunderous shout, he barked, “Enough!” Both Joyce and Katrina
recoiled instinctively, taken aback by the sudden outburst.
The reporters, however, remained unfazed. One of them pressed further, “Mr. Harper, are you genuinely
considering Joyce as your successor in the future?”
Caiden rubbed his forehead, trying to ease the pounding ache in his head. But then, from the corner of his eye,

In her eyes, Caiden saw the sambition and greed—cold, sharp, and relentless—that he had once seen in
Daniela’s late mother. That familiar, haunting look had tortured him for years, like a recurring nightmare. And
now, that very gaze was back, this tin the eyes of the woman he loved most.
Caiden felt overwhelmed, his mind struggling to process it. He blinked rapidly, hoping to shake the image from
his mind. When he looked back, Katrina had already dropped her eyes, tears running down her cheeks, her face
filled with sorrow and grief.
With a shaky exhale, Caiden tried to convince himself it was just a figment of his imagination. He forced himself
to regain focus, straightening up as he turned to face the reporters.
“This is a private family matter. We appreciate your interest, but this isn’t the right tor place. Please leave.
Thank you.”

Realizing they weren't going to get anything further, the reporters began to disperse, since Katrina had secretly
bribed them.
In no time, the atmosphere grew quiet.
Caiden remained at the center of the lobby, his face clouded with frustration. He was seething inside—today,
Daniela had made a mockery of him, embarrassed him in front of everyone, and he couldn't stand it.
He spoke sharply, his tone icy.
“Daniela, just answerone thing. Will you allow your sister to work at Elite Lux or not?”
Without missing a beat, Katrina chimed in, “It’s not just any position, of course. We're talking about a director's
role; something that reflects her status.”
Caiden slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. He was about to light it when he felt Cedric’s
cold stare fix on him. The weight of Cedric’s gaze made his hand hesitate. With a sigh, he begrudgingly tucked
the cigarette back into his pocket.
Holding back his frustration, Caiden managed a smile and turned to Cedric.
“Mr. Phillips, this is a private family issue.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou're a busy man, I'm sure you...”
He made a subtle gesture, signaling Cedric to take his leave.
But Cedric leaned back, exuding an air of easy defiance.
“Oh, don’t worry about me. I've got all the tin the world. Go on, pretend I'm not even here.”
Caiden felt his eye twitch involuntarily. He thought about redirecting the conversation elsewhere, but before he
could offer the idea, Daniela interjected, “I'm extremely busy. If you have something to say, say it here.”
