Chapter 98:
Jerry spoke up, his voice not as loud as before, but still firm.
“Relax. It’s just supplies. It's been here for a while, but there’s been no fuss.”
Despite his words, Joyce's emotions spilled over as she collapsed into tears, her sobs filling the air.
Joyce was crying uncontrollably. Katrina, unable to bear seeing her daughter like this, felt as though her heart
was breaking into pieces. Without caring about her pride, she dropped to the floor, her body trembling.
Throwing her head back, she let out a loud, heart-wrenching wail.
“Caiden, after all these years of marriage, do you have any idea how many people have laughed atbehind
my back? How many pointed fingers and whispered about me? | put up with all of it because | love you! | loved
you so deeply that | endured the pain.
You have no idea how proud | once was. But for you, | surrendered it all—my pride, my dignity, my sense of self-

She tilted her head back tically, as though she intended to smash it against the vase she was holding in
her hands.
Just before she could act, she shot a meaningful glance at Joyce. Without hesitation, Joyce flung herself against a
nearby pillar, wailing tically.
“I might as well die too!”

Caiden, visibly shaken by the , stormed out in frustration. He grabbed a phone from a passerby, his mind
racing with anger. Once the call connected, his voice thundered through the receiver.
“Daniela! If you want to avoid your father dropping dead in your posh building today, you better get down here
now! You've got five minutes!”
Meanwhile, Daniela had just put pen to paper on a long-term deal for an incredibly lucrative contract.
Her mood was cool and composed, unaffected by the chaos unfolding below.
Once the call ended, she opened the message she had sent to Caiden the day before.
Just as she was about to head downstairs, Cedric arrived at her office. She asked him to wait a little while inside.
However, her secretary, arriving late, carelessly mentioned something about Katrina and Caiden being
downstairs. Without wasting a second, Cedric turned and quickly took another elevator, heading straight for the
basement.
Lillian, ever close behind, followed Daniela every step of the way.

crying uncontrollably, while Joyce clung to a pillar, her sobs just as theatrical.
Caiden stood nearby, hands firmly on his hips, his head lowered as though he were fighting to keep his fury in
check.
The sharp click of Daniela’s heels on the floor immediately caught Caiden’s attention. His gaze shot up, his cold,
furious eyes locking onto her face.
