Chapter 389:
“The shares have been in Joyce's nfor quite stime. We just kept it quiet to avoid any unnecessary
issues. Don’t worry; we'd never cut corners when it comes to Joyce. At the wedding, you'll have all the
documents—the equity transfer agreement and the villa’s deed.”
Richard looked like he was about to ask more, but Katrina quickly added, “Con, we're about to be family. Do
you honestly think we’d lie to you about something so crucial? Do you want to chwith us and inspect
the safe? Joyce is our one and only daughter. There's no way we'd treat her unfairly.”
At this point, there wasn’t much more Richard could say. Reluctantly, he let the matter rest.
At the table, Joyce clenched her fork so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.
Everything had been a lie.
They had deceived Richard in the sway they had deceived her. Caiden had never planned to hand over the
assets.

Anger seared through her, but she kept it buried deep. She knew that making a scene now would mean throwing
away everything she had.
Later that evening, Richard picked up his phone and called Alexander.
The background noise of lively music and voices made it clear Alexander was at a bar. Richard's brow furrowed
in disapproval.
“Are you there for business, or are you just out enjoying yourself?” Alexander's voice sounded muffled and
distant.
“What do you need?”

Richard explained everything from the dinner, including Katrina's assurances about Joyce's dowry. Alexander
responded with a dismissive laugh.
“Katrina dotes on Joyce. She won't let her go into marriage empty-handed. Stop worrying about it. Let them sort
out their problems. If they can’t, they'll ccrawling to Daniela eventually. We'll get what we need, one way or
another. And let's face it, no matter how hard you push, Joyce will never be Daniela.”
And with that, he ended the call.
Richard stared at the phone, regret shadowing his features.
Alexander was right.
No matter how things went, Joyce could never be Daniela.
On their ride hafter dinner, Joyce's voice sliced through the silence.
“You promised to hand over Harper Group, and if that’s not possible right now, I'll accept its cash equivalent.
Converting it into money is fine by me.”
Caiden, clearly frustrated, responded, “How do you expectto cup with such an amount? You know the
situation with Harper Group. People think that Elite Lux’s partnership with Harper Group has been a huge
success, but the truth is, it’s been losing money all this time.
Your wedding with Alexander was only secured because outsiders don’t know the truth yet.”
Turning her head away in frustration, Joyce exclaimed, “Richard just said he and Alexander valuedas a
person. What are you implying? Do you genuinely believe Alexander is after our fortune? Why must you see

Her voice escalated with each statement, and she instructed the driver to stop the car.
Once the vehicle halted, she exited, turned back to Caiden and Katrina, and declared, “The Bennett family has
promiseda bride price of fifty million dollars.
You need to provide an equivalent amount for my dowry.”
With a forceful slam of the car door, Joyce stormed away.
