Chapter 498:
Daniela shook her head gently.
“No, it's just the wind on the balcony is too strong. I'm heading downstairs.” With that, she turned and left for
the lower floor.
Alexander remained on the balcony, his focus now fully on Katrina. His gaze was unyielding, and his voice was
laced with tension.
“What were you really doing out here? Or more precisely, what were you doing to Daniela?”
Katrina's attempt at a nervous laugh was weak, her nose crinkling in an effort to mask the discomfort.
“What could | do? We were merely chatting. Why won't you believe me? It’s absurd to think | could harm
Daniela.”
With that, Katrina quickly turned and walked away, her silhouette fading into the distance, carrying with it an air

Alexander stood there for a moment, his mind racing. He said nothing as the wind picked up, swirling around
him. The gusts nearly knocked him off balance, but he steadied himself, looking down from the balcony’s edge.
The villa was five stories high, but with the high ceilings, the drop seemed even more intimidating. From his
vantage point, all he could see was an abyss—endless and foreboding. His thoughts drifted back to the vacant
look in Daniela’s eyes earlier, sending a chill through him.
Alexander made his way down the staircase, only to find Katrina feigning nonchalance as she watched the
television.
Outside, in the courtyard, Daniela was deep in conversation on the phone. Bits and pieces of her chat floated in
through the window. It sounded as though Lillian was inquiring about Daniela’s plans for a midnight meal.
Alexander's eyes lingered on Katrina once more. She was preoccupied with an apple, devouring it with increasing

“Katrina.” Alexander broke the silence abruptly.
Startled, Katrina nearly leaped out of her skin.
“Huh?”
“You're practically down to the apple’s skeleton.” Katrina glanced at the apple, paused, then let out a forced
chuckle.
“I wasn’t paying attention. Did you cto see Daniela?”
Alexander didn’t reply immediately. His intense stare continued to bore into Katrina, as if he was about to strip
away her veneer at any moment.
“I need to leave now. If you need to speak with Daniela, go ahead. I'll leave you two to it.”
Katrina rose hurriedly without waiting for his response, scrambled into a pair of heels at random, and scurried

meticulously planned, with not a color out of place.

It was the exact ensemble Joyce once attempted to wear, which Katrina had adamantly criticized. Now here was
Katrina, adorned in just that.
Alexander's suspicions about Katrina's erratic behavior deepened.
He opted to remain in the living room, awaiting Daniela’s conclusion to her phone call.
