Chapter 390:
Caiden remained seated, stunned, staring at Katrina.
“What kind of attitude is that? Joyce has changed completely. What happened to the obedient, thoughtful
daughter we once knew?”
Katrina let out a deep sigh.
The dynamics within the Harper family had once been peaceful, yet now, as Joyce was about to integrate into
another family, her allegiances were evidently shifting.
Joyce had harbored resentment toward her ever since she had spoken unfavorably about Alexander. Joyce had
seemingly forgotten that she, her mother, was the very person who brought her into the world and would never
intend harm.
Overwhelmed by the flattery at dinner and her existing grievances, Joyce's allegiance had firmly shifted toward
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Bennett family.
“What should we do now?” Katrina inquired, a look of despair on her face.
Caiden, lighting a cigarette, felt the burden of financial woes weighing heavily on him, reminiscent of the days
before he met Brylee. After a pause, Katrina suggested, “Perhaps we should speak with Daniela. She remains a
member of the Harper family and as Joyce's stepsister, it wouldn't be proper for Joyce to marry without some
support from her.
Looking into Katrina's eyes, Caiden retorted, “Daniela? Do you think she'd accept such a simple explanation,
given her astuteness?”
Frustration colored Katrina's eyes as she spoke.
“What do you suggest then? Should we allow the dowry issue to push Joyce further away?”
Katrina was aware that Harper Group had lost its value. Selling it would mean depleting their savings.
Furthermore, if they transferred Harper Group to Joyce and Daniela eventually exited, Joyce would undoubtedly
find herself swamped with debts—an outcKatrina dreaded.
Katrina always wanted what was best for her daughter, but Joyce was blind to this.
Her affections had completely shifted to the Bennett family, leaving Katrina feeling both exhausted and
heartbroken.
The situation seemed insurmountable.
Caiden had not cultivated strong or reliable connections in his professional circle over the years. The prospect of
him seeking financial assistance as Joyce's wedding neared could lead to public disgrace. Rumors might spread,
potentially causing the Bennett family to reconsider the marriage.
Upon reflection, Caiden understood that Daniela was his only option.
As they approached the villa, their car detoured to Elite Lux. En route, they stopped at a pastry shop where
Caiden stepped out to purchase ssnacks.
Daniela was engrossed in her work. The smart robot sector was thriving, and her latest models were so sought
after that they could barely meet the demand. Despite the chaos, she remained focused, meticulously inspecting
the production materials.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer office was a hive of activity. Design plans littered her large desk, and the design team filled the room.
Noticing Daniela’s workload, Cedric had sent additional designers from Phillips Group to assist.
When Caiden pushed the door open, all eyes in the room turned to him.
He was taken aback. It was past 11 p.m., yet Daniela and her team were still diligently working.
The secretary, clearly overwhelmed, hurried over. Recently, it had beccommon for people to enter without
knocking, and now it was Daniela’s father’s turn, which meant she couldn't just turn him away.
Daniela dismissed her secretary with a brief look and addressed Caiden.
