Chapter 283:
The moment Daniela’s words hit him, Cedric’s shoulders went rigid, his tension palpable. He remained hunched
over for an extended period, his heart racing wildly in the oppressive quiet. Then, he gradually straightened, his
eyes locking with Daniela’s for a brief moment before he could utter a word. Abruptly, the office door burst open.
Katrina appeared in the doorway, her face buried in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. Daniela’s brow furrowed
in response. Out of breath, the secretary burst into the room, her voice trembling.
“Ms. Harper, I'm so sorry! | tried to stop her, but she pushed right past me!”
Katrina collapsed against the desk, her tears falling uncontrollably as she begged, “Daniela, your father is in a
dire state! You need to go to him.”
Shock rippled through Cedric’s face, his features twisting in disbelief. Peering through her handkerchief, Katrina
caught Daniela’s gaze—cold, detached, her piercing eyes unflinching as they stared back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA relentless pounding filled Katrina's chest, her heartbeat surging with raw emotion.
“Why are you looking atlike that?” Katrina demanded, her panic barely masked by a sharp edge in her tone.
She sensed an unspoken accusation in Daniela’s steady gaze, an intangible something she couldn't identify.
“Oh dear!” Katrina's distress intensified, her actions becoming more theatrical.
“Daniela, you can spew all the nonsense you want about cutting ties, but at the end of the day, his blood still
runs in your veins.
Your father’s about to die, and you act like it's nothing. What the hell is wrong with you? How can you be so
ruthless?”

Daniela rose slowly, her eyes narrowing, scrutinizing Katrina as if she were a suspect under interrogation.
“Yes, | am ruthless. Knowing that, why bother coming to me?”
Katrina, taken aback, had not anticipated such calm composure from Daniela, nor such a chilling retort. For a
brief moment, she was speechless, the thick layers of makeup unable to mask the crimson spreading across her
cheeks.
“You...”
“Funny how this works,” Daniela declared, her voice sharp and emphatic.
“Caiden was perfectly healthy before. Now, suddenly, when | take over the company, he becomes sick? Katrina,
don’t you think it’s a little too convenient to be a coincidence?”
At her words, Cedric glared at Daniela, his mind racing. She had the chance to destroy the Harper family and
turn the company inside out, but instead, she only took 51% of the shares.
Katrina's heart raced, yet she managed to maintain a composed facade.
“Daniela, what exactly do you mean by that? Are you implying | harmed your father? Even if you refuse to
acknowledgeas your stepmother, my devotion to your father is genuine. | couldn't possibly want any harm
to cto him just for sminor profit. If you truly doubt his condition, perhaps you should verify it yourself.”
Daniela’s gaze was icy as she fixed it on Katrina.
“Harper Group means more to you than a ‘minor profit,” doesn’t it? You'd stop at nothing to get what you want,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmright?” A luxury villa and offshore assets—how could anyone reduce those to minor profit?
Daniela turned and made her way downstairs, Cedric on her heels. As she approached the car, she swung the
door open and found Cedric already waiting inside. Daniela tilted her head slightly, a faint, amused smile playing
on her lips.
“Cedric, honestly, you don’t have to followaround like this. They wouldn't dare touch me.”
