Chapter 189:
Feigning naivety, Caiden explained, “The timing is off. Joyce is pregnant, and marrying into the Bennett family
under these conditions would only lead to disdain.
You'd have to promise a hefty dowry. The Bennett family isn’t known for being gullible. If the dowry seems
insufficient, would they even consider it?”
Katrina's expression shifted from shock to sheer disbelief. Gazing intensely at Caiden, she challenged him.
“Caiden! What exactly are you implying? Didn't we settle on a plan earlier? All the Harper family’s wealth is
going to Joyce! Are you seriously thinking of not keeping your word?”
Before Caiden could muster a reply, Peyton exclaimed, “What did you just say? Joyce is pregnant? And the baby
isn’t Alexander's? You plan to bestow the entire Harper family’s fortune as Joyce's dowry?” Peyton's reaction was
fierce.

Katrina felt like she was on the verge of losing her mind. For years, she had weathered countless difficulties, all
for the sake of Caiden.
Wasn't it all for a share of the Harper family’s fortune?
Was all her dedication to be disregarded with a mere word from Caiden, demanding she forfeit her claim? That
was utterly unthinkable. Suddenly, the entire house plunged into turmoil.
Back at the company, Daniela felt a sense of unease creeping over her. Richard had shown up with a sketchbook
similar to hers, suggesting they knew about the original one.

She swept the papers off her desk and informed Lillian, “I need to return to the Harper family.”
“Okay,” Lillian turned around, only to discover that Daniela had vanished without a trace.
The Harper family’s doorbell chimed unexpectedly.
Caiden was taken aback to find Daniela on the doorstep.
“Daniela, you're back already?” he asked, a hint of surprise in his voice. The bustling noise from inside the house
ceased instantly at his words. Peyton appeared in the doorway, excitement etched on his face, with Ronald and
Wyatt trailing behind him.
“Daniela, you've returned from abroad! How marvelous to see you—look at you, more stunning than ever!”
Peyton burst out, his grin spreading from ear to ear.
“Please, cin—this is your home. Why stop at the doorstep? Con in, I've got fantastic news you need to
hear!”
Before Peyton could elaborate further, Daniela cut in, her voice steady yet filled with urgency.
“I apologize for interrupting, but there's a sketchbook I left in my old room. It’s quite personal to me, and | need
to get it back.”
Her frustration was palpable; she was annoyed with herself for overlooking such a vital item amidst the recent
upheavals.
At first, Daniela had assumed the figure from her past was Alexander. Having resolved to sever connections with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim, she had dismissed the importance of the sketchbook.
However, upon realizing her mistake—that it wasn’t him—she recognized the profound significance of the
sketchbook.
Whether or not she would ever reconnect with that individual, the sketchbook had been her refuge during bleak
moments. It was an essential emotional lifeline, and she was determined not to forsake it.
Peyton attempted to usher Daniela through the doorway, yet Daniela briskly shrugged her off.
