Chapter 35:
Katrina let out an exaggerated sigh from her seat on the sofa.
“Well, it’s obvious Daniela isn’t calling back. They say once a daughter gets married, she stops being part of the
family. She's clearly not close to you anymore, dear. Maybe it’s tto accept it. Relationships require mutual
respect, you know. Pushing it won't lead anywhere good.”
Caiden remained silent, his piercing eyes locked on the phone as if he could will it to ring.
Joyce's eyes welled up with tears.
“Dad, Daniela’s not going to givethe three floors, is she? Does she hatethat much? Is she still angry
about what happened before? | already apologized. | was young and made a stupid mistake. I'd even get on my
knees and beg if that’s what it takes. But after all that, she still won't forgive me?” Joyce leaned against Katrina,
the two of them clinging to each other as they sobbed tically.

“Mom, what's the next move?”
Katrina paused, thinking for a moment before saying, “Get Alexander to talk to her. Daniela’s always been the
type to let her heart rule her head. She'll believe anything he says. If he steps in, she won't say no. Those three
floors are worth a fortune.
You have to make sure you get them.”

“Got it.”
Meanwhile, Richard paced in the living room, chain-smoking cigarette after cigarette. At last, the sound of a car
in the driveway made him stop and turn toward the front door.
“Alexander, you're here.”
Richard crushed his cigarette into the ashtray and glanced at his son as he stepped inside.
Alexander didn’t fit the mold of a traditional heartthrob, but his icy demeanor and quiet arrogance gave him a
magnetic presence that was impossible to ignore.
Richard hadn't thought much of Daniela in the past, but ever since it cto light that she was the CEO of Elite
Lux, Richard had started to see her in a new light.
Alexander raised an eyebrow, mildly surprised to find his father still up at this hour.
Richard settled into his chair and motioned to the one across from him with a commanding gesture.
“Take a seat.”
Alexander stayed where he was, refusing to move.
Richard didn’t press the issue; he knew better than to push the boundaries of their strained relationship.
“Did you see Daniela today?” Richard asked, breaking the silence.
Alexander nodded in response.
“I had someone look into it,” Richard continued.
“It’s confirmed—she’s the CEO of Elite Lux. What do you think about that?”
Alexander hesitated briefly before replying, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Richard leaned back in his chair and spoke in a calm, deliberate tone.
“I know Caiden wanted you to marry Joyce, but that was before we found out who Daniela really is. Now that we
know she’s the CEO of Elite Lux, everything has changed. Her status isn’t just higher than the Harper family’s—

You've heard about this, haven't you? But here’s where you have an advantage—Daniela has always been in love
with you. Blindly so. Between Joyce and Daniela, there's no competition. If you marry Daniela, our family would
immediately climb to the top of Olisvine’s social ladder. It would save you years of hard work. For the family, this
is the smartest move you could make.”
Richard was brimming with confidence about the situation. In his mind, Daniela’s deep love for Alexander was
undeniable. He was convinced that if Alexander so much as made a move, Daniela would crushing back,
eager to rejoin the Bennett family as his wife.
