Chapter 207:
Remaining calm and collected, Katrina reassured Joyce.
“Head upstairs, sweetheart. Everything's under control.” With a reassuring smile, she watched Joyce ascend the
stairs, clutching her doll tightly.
At home, Joyce was doted upon, and recently, her pregnancy had becnoticeable.
Katrina harbored concerns but kept them to herself. Given the family’s wealth, she mused over the possibility of
securing a live-in son-in-law. True, Joyce was pregnant, yet it would be her first marriage. Nowadays, with enough
money in her pocket, what was there to even stress about? She decided to let the Bennett family suck up to
Daniela all they wanted. That fucking bitch was bound to face her downfall sooner or later.
The vengeful thought curled Katrina's lips into a wicked, twisted smirk that made Caiden’s blood run cold. He
inhaled deeply before confronting her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Did you take everything from the safe?”
“Yes, | did. What about it?” Katrina's response cwith a dismissive shrug, her voice dripping with
nonchalance. Relief had washed over her when she’d earlier checked the safe; without that, she wouldn't have
unearthed the fact that Brylee had left Daniela a lavish inheritance.
The bounty included a colossal insurance policy and an entire island—a prtourist hotspot whose value had
likely soared.
The terms of the inheritance were strict, stating the island would only legally belong to Daniela after she had
been married for a year.
Until that milestone, any revenue the island generated was to be strictly held in trust, utterly inaccessible.
Katrina eyed the island with voracious intent.
Securing it for her daughter meant independence from any financial reliance on a partner. She envisioned a
future where men would queue up, desperate to cater to Joyce.
“All that shit belongs to Daniela. Even sof the properties—Brylee left them for her, not you. So keep your
grubby hands off,” Caiden interjected, his voice steady yet assertive.
Without even granting him a glance, Katrina countered, “This house and everything in it belongs to me. Let me
make one thing clear—if you dare tell Daniela, I'll divorce you!”
Her tone turned icy, slicing through the air.
“You understand the stakes, don’t you? Harper Group has been riding on Brylee’s coattails for years. Should
another scandal erupt, we might as well file for bankruptcy right now!”
Katrina reclined on the sofa, her laughter tinged with derision.
“Really, do you believe Brylee would be pleased, knowing you've frittered away everything she painstakingly
established? Not leaving even a penny for Daniela? She would despise you. She'd rue the day she fell for a
worthless man like you. And Daniela? She'd sever all ties. Isn't that your greatest dread? Being forsaken in your
old age, with no one to look after you? Go ahead, keep it up.
You'll end up rotting alone with no one to even care when you're gone!”
Her words struck Caiden with surgical precision, each syllable designed to inflict maximum pain.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYet, Katrina was not through.
Her voice took on a syrupy tone, dripping with deceit.
“However, align yourself with me, follow my lead, and we can keep this family whole. Remember, you are
Daniela’s biological father. Once she marries, you could travel overseas, apply for her death certificate, and all
her assets would naturally revert to you.
You'd be set for life, so don’t act like you're the one losing out.”
Caiden'’s face registered shock, his features contorting between disbelief and dread. He gaped at Katrina, his
voice barely above a whisper.
