Chapter 176
Chapter 176:
Katrina's expression darkened into a deep frown. Returning to the room, she stated flatly, “Ronald and Wyatt are
downstairs.”
Without lifting his eyes from the screen, Caiden dismissed her words.
“You deal with it. It’s probably about jobs again. What can those fools even manage, anyway?”
Katrina's gaze lowered as she studied Caiden’s indifferent profile. Her voice was calm but probing as she asked,
“Did you go up to the rooftop earlier?”
Still focused on his game, he replied in a distracted tone, “Why would I go up there? I'm occupied here. Don’t
disturb me.”
The tension in Katrina's chest finally started to subside, and a subtle smile crept onto her lips.
“Alright.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou focus on your game. I'll take care of it. I'll just tell them to talk to Daniela. Those penniless relatives of ours
are more trouble than they're worth. Hiring them would only invite chaos into the company.”
Running a company meant one golden rule: never mix family with business.
If they succeeded, they'd demand praise. If they failed, you couldn't even call them out.
It was a headache waiting to happen.
Caiden had always avoided hiring family, preferring to steer clear of unnecessary complications.

This approach pleased Katrina immensely.
To her, the Harper family’s fortune was meant solely for Joyce. Letting these relatives into the business was like
laying landmines—ready to go off and block Joyce's path when her tcto take the reins. Handing this
mess over to Daniela felt ideal. Daniela wasn’t her child, so Katrina had no reservations about complicating her
life.
Katrina took her time, slipping into a cozy outfit and carefully rubbing hand cream onto her skin. Only then did
she make her way downstairs, her steps unhurried and composed.
Downstairs, Ronald paced restlessly, his frustration evident.
“When is Katrina coming down? Does she think she can stay upstairs forever? If she won't come, then call
Caiden down instead!”
The housekeeper responded courteously, “Mr. Harper is still in the bath, and Mrs. Harper oversees all family
matters here. | ask for your patience.”
Ronald glanced at his watch, his expression darkening.
“It’s been over thirty minutes! How much longer do we have to sit here?”
The housekeeper, busy pouring drinks for the guests, seemed visibly uneasy.
Turning to his family, Ronald vented furiously.
“Look at this! Do you see how full of herself she is? Katrina was nothing more than a housekeeper here once!
She wormed her way into Caiden’s bed while his first wife was too preoccupied to notice. Back in the day, a
shameless woman like her would've had everyone pointing fingers. And now? She struts around as if she owns
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe place! She’s the one calling the shots in the Harper family business while we, the real Harpers, are left out in
the cold, unable to even secure jobs in our own company. And that’s not the end of it. After shoving her own
daughter into Daniela’s company, she destroyed that connection by persuading Caiden to sever ties with Daniela
entirely. Who does that? What kind of woman operates like this? Why is she still even a part of this family?”
Desperation crept into Ronald's tone as he turned to the elderly woman on the sofa.
