Chapter 268:
Katrina straightened with an air of authority, fully prepared to storm in. But just as she moved, Lillian’s hand shot
up, stopping her in her tracks.
Katrina's smug expression evaporated, her features contorting into a scowl of rage.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“Our boss was very clear. Everyone is the master of their own fate, and she refuses to meddle in someone else's
destiny. It's best if you leave now.”
She then turned to address the security guard.
“And just so you know, the boss wantedto inform you—she considers herself without parents now. Handle
this as you deem appropriate. If they bectroublesome, don’t hesitate to call the police.
You're an Elite Lux employee, empowered to reject unwelcvisitors. There's a $10,000 bonus for your

With a stretch that betrayed a hint of nonchalance, Lillian sauntered off.
Caiden and Katrina were left rooted to the spot, their eyes locked on the closing doors of the elevator as Lillian
disappeared from view.
She just walked away? Was Daniela really going to let them suffer without giving a shit?
Unwilling to concede, Katrina took a determined step forward, only to be met by the security guard, who now
brandished his baton with an authoritative grip.
“This is Elite Lux, not an open house,” he stated icily, blocking their path.

His stance underscored his formidable presence, and the palpable tension caused Katrina to falter.
Katrina begrudgingly retreated toward the entrance.
As they stood in the chilling gusts of wind, she turned to Caiden, worry etching her face.
“What do we do now?”
Caiden had never imagined that Daniela would treat him with such indifference. After all, he was the man who
gave her life.
Yet, it becpainfully clear that he could not rely on Daniela.
He cto the realization that the only one he could truly depend on was the newborn child.
Beside him, Katrina, her body shivering from the chill, understood Caiden’s thoughts intimately after years of
being together. She stoked his growing resentment and remarked, “Daniela is truly ruthless. It's understandable
she might disregard me, since I'm not her real mother. But you're her father. She should at least consider
speaking to you for the baby’s sake. How can she be so heartless? Then again, those in business often show no
mercy. Remember how her mother treated you? Had she not died so unexpectedly, you likely wouldn't have seen
a penny of the Harper family’s fortune. And now Daniela is just the same. She's indifferent to your suffering,
leaving you to freeze out here. Perhaps she’s hoping you'll simply pass away, making it easier for her to claim
the Harper family’s fortune for herself.”
Caiden stood silently, his teeth chattering from the cold. His eyes, though he spoke no word, conveyed the depth

the child. To him, only this baby represented a pillar of future support.
Caiden gritted his teeth, his voice a harsh growl as he declared, “Fine, I'll camp out here all evening. Let's see if
Daniela has the guts to ignoretomorrow. If she can stomach seeing her father endure the cold, then so be it.
But does she really believe she can escape the gossip? The whispers will start!”
His voice carried a veneer of toughness, yet he scarcely managed thirty minutes before his resolve began to
crumble.
