Chapter 85:
Lillian, practically beaming with satisfaction, chuckled to herself. After years of watching Daniela go out of her
way for him, this moment brought Lillian a deep sense of enjoyment.
Alexander remained seated, his eyes following Lillian as she trailed after Daniela, even throwing her a thumbs-up
in admiration.
His gaze then turned to Daniela, who was chatting with someone from Clayton Renovation.
A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“Sure, keep talking, Daniela. It won't change anything. Clayton Renovation doesn’t have the resources for a
project like this. Eventually, you'll have to ccrawling back to me. Huh!”
Alexander settled the bill for the wine before driving Joyce back to her place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKatrina was already waiting by the door.
Caiden was out in the garden, pretending to water the plants.
As Alexander stepped out of the car with the thoroughly drunk Joyce, Katrina rushed over. When she saw her
daughter's intoxicated condition, her face contorted with both shock and fury.
“How on earth did she end up this drunk? It's got to be Daniela! She's never let go of her grudge against us, and
now she’s making Joyce pay for it!”
Alexander handed Joyce over to Katrina, his mind flashing back to when Daniela had stopped Lillian from
drinking. His voice remained calm as he corrected her, “It wasn’t Daniela. It was someone else.”
Katrina was beside herself.

“Who would do this? Alexander, what about the shop? Did you manage to work things out?”
Just as she finished asking, Alexander's phone rang. He nodded and answered vaguely, “Yes.” He had meant to
suggest they go check the location and see if it worked for their needs, but for sreason, he didn’t go further
and just left it at that one word.
The instant he said it, Katrina's face lit up with happiness.
Even Caiden, who had been pretending to water the plants, dropped the act and quickly walked over.
Both of them stared at Alexander, their eyes full of expectation.
Alexander nodded, but before he could respond, Katrina leapt in with eager enthusiasm.
“I knew it! Only Alexander could handle this! See? This is where you're lacking, Caiden. Look at Alexander—he
genuinely cares about Joyce! Even such a difficult matter has been resolved, all thanks to him. Alexander,
dealing with someone like Daniela? Never gives an inch, must be exhausting!”
Caiden chimed in, grinning broadly, “Exactly! That ungrateful... getting harder and harder to deal with. But
you're reliable as always, Alexander. Daniela still listens to you. No matter what we say, it's useless. Joyce is
lucky to have you. Alright, Joyce is drunk tonight, so we won't keep you any longer, but we'll definitely need your

Katrina carefully propped up Joyce, while Caiden hurried off to fetch a cold towel, wiping Joyce's forehead.
Alexander stood silently at the doorway, his gaze taking in the scene.
His thoughts drifted back to a memory from years ago—when Daniela had just turned eighteen. She had drunk
far too much, not for her own indulgence, but for him.
He had carried her hjust like this.
