Chapter 45:
“They're counting on your failure,” Lillian said, her voice tinged with concern.
“They see this as an opportunity to push you out and sell Elite Lux for a lucrative profit. But you don’t have to
prove anything.
You built Elite Lux from the ground up—it’s inherently yours!”
Lillian’s words radiated genuine concern, but Daniela couldn't ignore the subtle tremors of fear beneath them.
She offered a soft, reassuring smile and responded, “You're not really concerned about the company, are you?
You're worried that I'll lose focus because of Alexander, right?”
Lillian couldn’t mask her apprehension and reluctantly admitted, “Yes, that’s exactly it.
You haven't been back long, and already they've thrown so many obstacles your way. It's concerning.”
Her worries were not unfounded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYears ago, when Elite Lux was flourishing, Daniela had abandoned everything in pursuit of love, leaving her
empire behind without a second thought. Now, with her return to the public eye, a slew of opportunists were
eager to capitalize on her regained prominence.
Moreover, if Alexander were to reappear, weaving his charming deceits and hollow promises, Lillian dreaded that
Daniela might once again fall under his spell.
Lillian couldn’t shake the nagging worry about Daniela falling for Alexander again.
When Daniela fell for someone, it was like an illness—impossible to stop and completely irrational. The fear
lingered in Lillian’s mind, and she would have been willing to give up Elite Lux to spare Daniela from
experiencing such a painful ordeal.
Sensing her friend’s worry, Daniela turned to Lillian with a gentle smile and reassured her.
“Don’t worry. | don’t make the smistake twice.”
There was a twhen she had been head over heels for Alexander, hanging on to every word he said. But that
love was gone now. Alexander no longer meant anything to her.
Meanwhile, Joyce was seething with embarrassment. Not only had she fallen, but Daniela had made sure to step
on her foot for good measure. Her swollen, bruised foot throbbed with pain as Alexander helped her home. By
the tthey reached the door, she was crying out.
“Mom, hurry, I'm going to die from all this bullying!”
Katrina had been excitedly telling her friends about Joyce’s upcoming engagement to Alexander when she
suddenly heard Joyce's cries. Without hesitation, she rushed out. When she saw Joyce's swollen foot, her reaction
was tic, as though everything was falling apart.
“Caiden! Caiden! Cdown here! Our baby girl is hurt!”
Caiden hurried down the stairs so quickly that one of his slippers fell off. When he saw Joyce's injured foot, his
expression twisted with a mix of anger and concern.
“What happened?” he snapped, his voice tight with tension.
Joyce quickly began to explain, “It was Daniela! | went to the auction with Alexander today, and as soon as she
saw me, she got furious. | went to the restroom, and she followedin. She shovedand then stepped right

Caiden frowned sharply.
“Really? Daniela’s completely losing it!” Joyce seized the opportunity, adding fuel to the fire.
“Dad, | just went to the auction to apologize. | know I've been careless and hurt her, so | wanted to make things
right. But she calledgreedy. She accusedof wanting the three floors of the Luxor Tower. Dad, | didn’t
mean anything by it—I just wanted us to get along as sisters. But she got so angry and attacked me. Do you
think she’s mad because | asked her for something?”
