Chapter 37
Chapter 37:
“Truly, Joyce, you outshine even the most privileged heirs of wealthy families!”
“Does this mean the Harper family’s entire fortune will be yours one day? And didn’t you mention that the
Bennett family was the one who made this possible? So, does that mean Alexander's father has a soft spot for
you too?”
Joyce tilted her chin slightly, her lips curling into a self-satisfied smile.
“Oh, absolutely! Do you even know how incredible Joyce is? She's not just sheiress—she’s the heiress! The
epitof class and power!” Alma gestured tically, her voice rising with each word, as though proclaiming
the arrival of royalty.
The flattery washed over Joyce like a warm wave, her ego swelling visibly as she soaked up the praise.
She leaned back slightly, a hand casually brushing her hair, preparing to deliver a smug remark to keep the
admiration flowing. But then, the soft chof the elevator arriving pierced through the chatter, silencing the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgroup instantly.
The air grew heavy with anticipation as the doors glided open.
Daniela stepped into view, her figure draped in an exquisite, limited-edition Elite Lux autumn outfit that hugged
her with flawless precision. Her heels clicked against the polished floor, each step deliberate, exuding a regal
confidence that turned every head in her direction. She was like a flower blooming in the wild—breathtakingly
beautiful but undeniably distant, an untouchable force of nature.
Daniela was holding the building's design draft as she stepped out. She halted in her tracks, her eyes widening
as she took in the group of people gathered on the 18th floor. The cheerful expression slowly drained from her
face.
Turning to the security guard, who had just emerged from the elevator with a tray laden with beverages, Daniela
inquired, “How did they manage to cup here?”
The group that had followed Joyce upstairs was eager to use her as a bridge to Daniela. After all, Daniela had
ascended to the position of CEO of Elite Lux and was rapidly becoming a prominent figure in the national
business arena. Many were eager to forge ties with her.

Despite her unwelcoming demeanor, they gathered around Joyce, offering Daniela their most ingratiating smiles.
“Hello, Daniela!”
Daniela’s face remained stoic. She was not one to lash out at those who approached her with smiles, but she
recognized every one of them. These were the swomen who had scorned her in the past, mocking her for
being overlooked by Alexander. Their derisive laughter and scornful glances were etched in her memory.
Now, they acted as though they were old friends.
“What are you doing up here?” Daniela demanded, cutting straight to the chase and dispensing with any
pretense of cordiality.
Daniela’s eyes narrowed, casting a frosty silence over the group that had been eagerly vying for her attention.
Nearby, even the security guard fidgeted nervously.
“Ms. Harper, | deeply apologize. | saw them arriving together and assumed they were associated with the design
firm, so | didn’t confirm their identities before allowing them in.”
A shadow of irritation passed over Daniela’s face as her brow furrowed. Given that the building was still
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmundergoing renovations, mix-ups were somewhat understandable. She couldn't blthe guard, but it was a
clear warning for her.
Without hesitation, Daniela dialed Ryan.
“Install a facial recognition system throughout the building. From now on, entry is restricted exclusively to those
registered in the system.”
Ryan's reply was swift and affirmative.
