Chapter 346:
A smug smile spread across his face.
“But | kept it to myself. | thought it was quite amusing. Isn't Daniela always so proud? Isn't she wealthy? Yet she
couldn’t even recognize you. No matter how successful she is, she’s still blind!”
Cedric’s fingers tightened around his coffee cup, his restraint barely keeping him from hurling it at Caiden.
Cedric’s voice remained calm as he asked, “But Daniela isn’t Brylee. She’s your daughter.”
“Is she?” Caiden’s face remained emotionless.
“The only one who truly counts as my daughter is the one who'll take care ofwhen I'm old. Can Daniela do
that? | once felt sorry for her. | even thought about telling her that Alexander wasn’t the one who was with her
back then, hoping it might ease her pain after the divorce. | showed her kindness, only to be met with her
indifference. Can | really trust someone like that when I’m older?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric’s eyes narrowed, his voice taking on a sharper edge.
“So your idea of a good daughter is someone who will take care of you in your old age?”
“Of course, we raise children, hoping they'll care for us in our old age. But now | see things clearly. Daniela is just
as cold and ruthless as her mother. | can’t depend on her, and frankly, | don’t care what happens to her or who
she marries. Cedric, since we're being honest, let's strike a deal.”
By now, Caiden had dropped all pretense. He had revealed his true, selfish self, his expression cold and
calculating. A sharp laugh escaped his lips.
“Cedric, nyour price. Daniela’s life or death no longer matters to me. Consider her sold to you. It's a one-
tdeal.

You can take her home, treat her however you want, and make her serve you as you please. | have no
objections.”
Lillian stole a quick glance at Daniela. After the brief flicker of emotion at first, Daniela’s face beccalm
again. There was a coldness about her that felt almost icy. Lillian, despite having no family of her own, couldn't
help but feel a stab of pity for Daniela’s situation. She didn’t want Daniela to listen to another word of what was
being said. Rising to her feet, she hoped Daniela would take the hint and follow, but Daniela stayed rooted to her
spot.
Meanwhile, the discussion behind them carried on without pause.
“Cedric, what's your answer?” Caiden’s voice was steady, almost clinical.
“I'm not asking for much. One hundred million, and she’s yours. After that, the Harper family and Daniela will
have no further ties. How does that sound to you?”
In families like theirs, even something as trivial as buying a pet could set them back millions, with upkeep easily
climbing into the tens of millions. To Caiden, the offer was perfectly reasonable.
“That's my final offer. If you think it’s too steep, | can always approach Alexander. I'm confident he'd pay even
more to claim Daniela.” He took a slow sip of his coffee, exuding an air of composure that bordered on
smugness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn his mind, Cedric would surely pay. Daniela no longer considered him her father. She was divorced, yet Cedric
continued to protect her, all while living under the Harper family’s roof, bearing no title or official status. Cedric
didn’t care about Daniela? Refuse to pay the hundred million? That was impossible!
Daniela moved slightly, ready to intervene. But before she could act, a firm, calm voice sliced through the
charged atmosphere of the cafe.
“I'll pay the money.”
Daniela went rigid, her body frozen in place.
