Chapter 179:
Peyton’s anger eased just a little.
However, Katrina suddenly lifted her head in pure shock.
“Caiden! What exactly do you mean by that?”
Ronald quickly stepped in.
“What's he talking about? Can't you see? Mom's here, and in this family, her word is law. Are you really going to
defy her? Or are you trying to take down the whole Harper family just to help your daughter?”
It was a grave accusation, and Katrina knew she couldn't risk making things worse before securing the assets
she needed.
Peyton shot Katrina a smug smile before focusing back on Caiden.
“I'm not leaving. I'll stay here until this is sorted and Daniela is back where she belongs. Only then will | go back
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto the countryside.”
Wyatt and Ronald were quick to assist Peyton, eager to settle her into the guest room.
To them, Daniela’s return wasn't just about family—it also meant that the salaries they had been promised would
finally be within reach again.
All this time, Katrina had tightly held onto control, leaving them with nothing in the end.
On that very day, Peyton, Ronald, Wyatt, and their families—at least twenty people in total—moved into the
house.
The Harper family’s children played in the yard, their raucous laughter and chatter echoing loudly, shattering the
tranquility and leaving Katrina with no chance to rest.

Leaning against Caiden’s chest, Katrina sought comfort.
“Honey, what did your mother mean by that? After all these years of marriage, why am | still an outsider in her
eyes? Is it because | never bore you a child? | made that choice so Daniela could experience a mother’s love,
sacrificing my desires for hers. And now, am | to blfor that?” Her voice cracked under the weight of her
emotions, and her sobs painted a picture of profound despair.
Caiden rested his arm lightly on her shoulder.
“She’s my mother, Katrina.
You shouldn't take her words to heart.”
Katrina's scowl deepened as she crossed her arms tightly.
“And what am | to do now? How do | even begin to explain this to Alexander and Richard? Joyce's pregnancy will
soon be visible to everyone.” She sat up abruptly, wiping away her tears.
“Honey, let your mother think what she wants. I've weathered so much for your love, and I'll bear this too. But
not Joyce—she doesn’t deserve this agony. Here's what we'll do. Tomorrow, I'll pick a café.
You get the lawyer there. We'll transfer the company shares and your personal assets into Joyce's name. After
that, I'll meet with the Bennett family and secure her engagement to Alexander. Once we've locked everything
down, any objections your mother has won't matter anymore. What do you think about that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKatrina's eyes shimmered with eager anticipation as she fixed her gaze on Caiden, hoping for an affirmative
response.
However, Caiden remained engrossed in his mobile game, his head bowed, seemingly oblivious to her anxiety.
After a pause, he responded without looking up, “That won't work out. The moment my mom finds out, she'll
lose it completely. She can’t stand people scheming behind her back.”
Katrina's face fell, and her fingers curled into tight fists, betraying her frustration.
