Chapter 64:
Caiden'’s fury escalated, his hand frozen in the air, quivering with wrath as he shot a venomous glare towards
Cedric.
“What do you think you're doing?”
Cedric returned his gaze, his eyes cold and unwavering.
“And what do you think you're doing?”
Caiden’s voice soared in volume, tinged with defiance.
“I'm disciplining my own daughter. Must you meddle in this?”
At that moment, Daniela stepped from behind Cedric, her fingers lightly grasping his sleeve. She nodded towards
the security camera perched above them and spoke to Caiden.
“If you're eager to make headlines tomorrow, feel free to take a swing. But I'm curious—what do you suppose
the news will declare? Will it be ‘Elite Lux’s CEO's Estranged Father Makes a Violent Entrance, Tries to Steal from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis Own Daughter’? Or maybe ‘Disgraced Father Strikes His Own Flesh and Blood in Defense of His Second Wife’?
And with the recent news about that fire, Dad, don’t you believe this whole ordeal would be a hot topic for the
media?”
Caiden felt as if he were teetering on the brink of insanity. His entire frtrembled as a raw, anguished roar
escaped him.
“Daniela!”
Daniela remained upright, her smile sugary and teasing.

“Yes, Dad?”
Caiden sensed that if he didn’t leave soon, he would burst from unrestrained anger.
“Enough! Daniela, if you choose to be this cold, this cruel, clutching at your precious wealth, then don’t bother
seeking my aid when you find yourself desperate one day.”
Daniela waved her hand.
“Of course, Dad. Be careful as you leave.” Caiden, his cheeks aflwith anger, stormed out without a
backward glance.
Katrina stole a quick glance at Cedric, who remained silent, standing loyally by Daniela’s side. Ever the
embodiment of a graceful stepmother when others were present, Katrina softened her voice.
“Daniela, such youthful innocence.
You haven't yet felt the profound burdens of parenthood. With time, when you have kids, you'll see that
preserving family unity is the ultimate endeavor. Riches, celebrity, and authority—they vanish like morning mist.
| dearly hope you won't live to regret today’s choices.”
Daniela let out a playful snort, her lips curling into an amused smile.
“The prospect of motherhood isn’t on my agenda this lifetime. And trust me, if | ever ventured down that path, |
wouldn't follow in Caiden’s footsteps.
Yes, | confess—fand power do catch my fancy. Just a heads-up, steer clear of my finances.”
Katrina's mask of composure cracked. Realizing her soft-spoken manipulations were ineffective, her face
momentarily tightened in frustration before she regained her poise. After a lingering, poignant glance at Cedric,
she let out a resigned sigh, turned gracefully, and made her exit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela, arms folded in mock defiance, turned her attention to Joyce, who was still planted in the sspot,
obviously torn about leaving. Daniela’s eyes twinkled mischievously as she teased, “Hanging around, Joyce? Not
ready to make your exit? Do you fancy yourself as royalty, perhaps expecting a grand procession?”
Joyce felt the urge to walk away from Daniela’s taunts, yet hesitation kept her standing still. Cedric was still here.
Leaving now could just give this woman the perfect opportunity to steal Cedric’s attention. Daniela was well-
versed in the art of seduction, after all. Furthermore, Cedric had just said he had a lunch appointment with
Daniela. This could also serve as an opportune moment to deepen her connections with him. She couldn't help
but imagine marrying him one day.
