Chapter 260:
As she absorbed this, Caiden retrieved a folded document from inside the book—a contract that seemed to have
been prepared long before.
“I had a lawyer prepare this agreement,” he said.
“It states that Joyce will marry once she’s fully recovered. If we can’t find a suitable match, she can live in our
city-center apartment.”
Katrina stared at Caiden in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to be so ruthlessly calculating.
Caiden went on, “You don’t have to worry. The Harper family will always be Joyce's home. I'll continue managing
the company as usual. Whether Daniela and | fix things or not, as her father, she can’t turndown if | request
a project.
You've seen how large Elite Lux’s projects are. If | put in the effort, Jack’s inheritance will grow immensely.
Daniela is close to Cedric, and as her father, | have leverage. Cedric will treatwith respect and wouldn't dare
refuseresources. With connections to both Daniela and Cedric—the two dominant forces in Olisvine—the
Harper family will only thrive.”

After all, she’s the child’s mother, and she’ll want the best for him. I’m not doing this for myself.
You both know Daniela wouldn't support us if the child remained too closely tied to Joyce. This is for his future.
He'll understand when he’s older. And for now, I'll thank you on his behalf.”
The hospital room felt unbearably cold, as though winter had seeped into every corner. Katrina shivered,
realizing how carefully Caiden had planned everything.
So, he had always been aware of how she treated Daniela, yet he had chosen to overlook it—because it didn’t
serve his interests, he simply turned a blind eye. Now, every action he took was driven by self-interest, leaving
no space for mistakes or second thoughts.

Katrina felt as though she had been tossed into the frigid waters of a frozen lake. The biting cold sank deep into
her bones, draining her of all warmth and leaving her numb to the core.
Caiden gave her a small smile and said, “I know Joyce respects you. Go talk to her. After all, I'm not her real
father. If | bring it up, she'll probably just resent me.”
By the tthe doctor reached Alexander's hospital room, Alexander was no longer there. Richard sat in the
room, a smug grin plastered across his face. He was certain that, this time, Daniela would feel for Alexander.
Once she gave in to her sympathy, the future of their family’s wealth and status would be secured without
question.
The doctor shot Richard a look filled with confusion and disbelief. He couldn't make sense of it. Richard's son had
been left battered and bruised, yet instead of rushing to call the police, the man just sat there, grinning as if
nothing had happened.
At Elite Lux, Daniela was hard at work preparing for an important event. She was so absorbed in her tasks that
when Alexander entered her office, she didn’t even acknowledge his presence. It wasn’t until she paused to sip
swater that she finally looked up.
Startled, she instinctively threw the cup at his face. Alexander had lingered at the doorway for what felt like an
eternity, growing more and more humiliated as she stayed completely unaware of his presence. Just as he was
about to put on a pitiful expression to draw her attention, a cup flew towards him. He was so stunned that he
couldn't even react in tto avoid it.
“Ouch!”
The pain was unbearable. Daniela instantly realized how forcefully it had hit him. She could even hear a sharp
crack—the unmistakable sound of a nose breaking. Blood began gushing from Alexander's nose, running down
his face and dripping onto the floor.

twisting in shock.
