Chapter 289:
Daniela didn’t actually think Alexander would embezzle. She simply wanted nothing more to do with him. After
all, hadn't he always chosen Katrina and her daughter? And now, he was acting wounded? Who was he trying to
deceive?
Cedric stood behind Daniela, silently watching the scene, his face betraying no emotion. But inside, he knew
exactly what was unfolding. Men always had a way of seeing through each other. So now, Alexander regretted it?
He wanted to fix things?
Cedric’s eyes darkened.
“Daniela, you're being too harsh,” Katrina interjected, attempting to play the role of the peacemaker.
“Look at Alexander—you’ve hurt him deeply.

You can’t just erase the past because you have someone new in your life.
Your father and | are family; no matter how much you hurt us, we’ll accept it. But Alexander isn’t.
You're divorced, remember? Is it fair to target him?”
Cedric frowned and was about to speak when Daniela raised a hand to stop him. She then turned to face Katrina,
her gaze sharp and cutting like a knife.
Katrina's confidence wavered, her heart pounding as Daniela’s cold stare pierced through her.
“Katrina, there's no need for you to add fuel to the fire. | stopped caring about Alexander a long tago. Don’t
think you can use the past to manipulate me. Letbe clear—I do what | want. As for you, you can plot all you
want, but it'll be in vain. | tolerated you before, but not anymore. Soon enough, you'll long for the days when |
was more patient with you.”
Her words were sharp and blunt, leaving Katrina completely humiliated. She opened her mouth to fire back, but
before she could say anything, Daniela spoke first.

“Just days after my mother passed away, you moved into my house. A woman like you has no right to talk about
morals or decency. Honestly, | thought you'd lost any shred of shlong ago.”
Katrina shook with fury, her finger accusingly jabbing toward Daniela.
“Daniela! I'm still your stepmother! How dare you speak tothis way?”
Daniela’s eyes fixed on Katrina's sharply pointed red nail, the bold gesture only fueling her anger. Slowly, her
expression hardened, and her gaze deepened with intensity.
From the side, Alexander scowled and snapped, “Daniela, have you lost it? Do you even hear what you're
saying? Calling Katrina that way means you're calling Caiden indecent too. He's your father, and he’s lying in
that bed!”

Katrina's rage exploded. It had been years since anyone had the audacity to speak to her like this.
Had she known Daniela would cause so much trouble, she would have taken care of her along with her mother
all those years ago. She thrust her finger even closer to Daniela’s face and screamed, “Daniela! You ungrateful
little brat! You're nothing but a motherless orphan! I'll teach you a lesson for your father!”
The instant the words left Katrina’s mouth, a loud crack rang out through the room. And then, the whole room
went completely still. Even Katrina froze, her mouth agape in disbelief.
At the doorway, Joyce froze, her face drained of color in surprise. The thermos she had been holding slipped from
her grip and crashed to the floor with a loud clang.
A sharp crash rang out, shattering the silence, followed by a haunting stillness. Daniela slowly lifted her gaze,
her expression icy, before casually pulling a wet wipe from her bag and cleaning her hands. The simple gesture
jolted Katrina back to reality. A piercing scream tore from her throat, echoing through every corner of the room.
Pain shot through her injured finger.
Daniela leaned in, and her lips curled into a sinister smile as she asked, “Doesn't it hurt?”
