Chapter 44:
Joyce gasped, a sharp pain shooting through her as her complexion turned ghostly white. Before she could cry
out, Daniela’s icy voice descended upon her.
“Consider this a lesson, Joyce.”
With those words, Daniela spun on her heel and strode away, leaving a trail of tension in her wake.
Behind her, Joyce crumpled to the floor, clutching her foot as she sobbed uncontrollably. She wouldn’t tolerate
this, not for a second. She was the Harper family’s crown jewel. How could she sit back and allow Daniela to
disgrace her like this?
She attempted to rise and confront Daniela, but Alexander intervened, holding up his hand to signal for her to
stay put.
Tears gathered in Joyce's eyes as she spun around to face him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Alexander, are you siding with Daniela now?”
With his expression unreadable, Alexander replied, “Attend to your injury first.”
Yet Joyce was not prepared to drop the issue so easily.
She was not merely an addition to the Harper family through her mother. Caiden cherished her deeply. Katrina
lavished her with affection. Even the Bennett family had once held her in high regard. All her life, she had
enjoyed a privileged status, always a step ahead of Daniela.
The humiliation Daniela had inflicted upon her was something she couldn't easily forget.
She longed to chase down Daniela, yet Alexander's indifferent, icy demeanor gave her pause.

With a slight pout, Joyce lamented, “Alexander, haven't | warned you before? Daniela is nothing but a schemer.
She faked the whole innocent act just to rope you into being her husband. Now, with the divorce finalized, she
doesn’t even bother to conceal her true nature. She’s always been a heartless, calculating woman!”
While Alexander's hand remained on Joyce's arm, his gaze drifted in the direction Daniela had taken. It had only
been three months, but Joyce had becutterly unrecognizable. She carried an unshakable defiance, paired
with a heart that refused to forgive.
As Daniela stepped out, she found Lillian already seated in the car, waiting. Naturally, Lillian had heard Joyce's
tic wailing earlier. As Daniela got in, Lillian glanced at her, noticing the trace of frustration on her face. She
called out, “Daniela.”
Daniela snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look at Lillian.
“Yes? What's wrong?”
Lillian paused, her lips parting slightly as if to choose her words carefully.
“You know, the domestic sector of Elite Lux doesn’t need to stay in Olisvine. This bet with the board—it’s
ridiculous. With your talent, you are the pillar of this company. Those old executives back at the headquarters
are just setting you up to fail.”
Choosing love over her role at Elite Lux, Daniela had left behind a team of ingenious yet inept technicians. These
individuals, brilliant in their own right, lacked the pragmatic touch needed to steer a corporation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnder her absence, Elite Lux had floundered with internal discord, leaving its vital members sidelined and its
shares vulnerable to predatory investors. On the outside, the company maintained its grand facade, but
internally, it was crumbling.
Daniela had made her return and laid down a daring challenge to the old board members of Elite Lux.
She had vowed that within three years, she would not only launch a domestic branch but also elevate its annual
revenue to the legendary trillion-dollar mark. If she succeeded, the veteran board members had agreed to resign
and hand over their shares.
