Chapter 96:
“Jerry, just where on earth are we headed now?”
They had exited the elevator and continued their lengthy trek. It seemed as if they were about to leave the
confines of Luxor Tower altogether.
Jerry, clutching a hefty ring of keys, was visibly annoyed. The murmurs and snickers from the group had not
escaped his notice and had left him simmering with resentment.
He was keenly aware of Daniela’s true character—her beauty was matched by her compassion and generosity.
She had discreetly funded his wife's surgery when they were desperate and unsupported. Whenever a crisis
struck a staff member's family, she was there to offer aid. Her genuine kindness had earned her the deep
respect of everyone within Elite Lux.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, here was her own family, disparaging her with a haughty air.
Jerry rolled his eyes, his voice sharp and dismissive as he retorted, “Why bombardwith questions? Just come
along and all will be revealed in due time!”
His brusque tone took Caiden aback. It had been a long while since someone had addressed him with such
unfiltered disdain.
“Do you not know who the hell | am?” Caiden challenged, his brow furrowed in irritation.
“I'm Daniela’s father—your boss’s father! With a snap of my fingers, | could own this entire building!”
Jerry halted in his tracks, his grip on the keys tightening, his knuckles whitening as he fought to control his rising
fury.
Caiden, seemingly unaware of the growing storm, pressed on.
“Don’t forget, it's my family’s money keeping your ass employed.”
Katrina, quick to capitalize on the moment, chimed in sharply, “Precisely! Would you even have a job if it weren't
for us? People who run their damn mouths like you don’t deserve to stay employed!”
Jerry exhaled sharply, his voice laced with a mix of defiance and disbelief.
“Go ahead, fire me! But | have to ask, do you actually hold the power to do so? Caiden, is it? Letmake
something clear. Having you as a father is the worst curse that could’ve befallen Ms. Harper! Weren't you the
one who declared to the world that you were severing all ties with her? And yet, now that she’s found success,
you suddenly claim ownership over this entire building? Why not take it further? Perhaps proclaim that the entire
nation belongs to you? You're supposed to be an elder—perhaps it’s tto start behaving like one and exhibit a
bit of dignity!”
Katrina's face flushed a deep crimson, and she shook with fury.
“How dare you speak to us in such a manner! Get your manager on the phone this instant!”
Jerry, utterly unfazed by the escalating tension, retrieved his phone and dialed his manager, putting the call on
speaker. The manager's voice crackled through, tinged with irritation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What now? What's the problem with Joyce Holt? She's already stirred up enough trouble.
You know what? Forget it—if they're that much of a nuisance, just stop leasing to them. Are we really so
desperate that we can’t do without the rent from a basement-level unit?”
The phrase “basement-level unit” struck a nerve.
Caiden and Katrina, who had been simmering with rage only seconds before, cto a sudden halt.
Joyce's brow furrowed as her voice dripped with fury.
