Chapter 394:
Daniela looked at them both.
“Are you even aware of the current valuation of the robotics company?”
Caiden faltered, his lips tightening briefly. He knew the answer, of course.
Daniela had invested hundreds of millions into the company—a fact widely recognized within the industry. Her
bold, ambitious investments had earned her a reputation for taking calculated risks that few others would dare.
The company’s profitability was no secret either; even in its early stages, it had made significant waves in the
market. Experts were already speculating that Daniela’s robotics venture could cement her position as the
wealthiest individual in the world for decades, if not an entire century.
This was exactly the prize Caiden had been eyeing all along. But, of course, he couldn't let that show. He needed
to maintain the act of being an uninformed, innocent parent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPutting on a naive smile, he replied, “Oh, | wouldn't know. I've heard the robotics field is a challenging one, with
massive investments and minimal returns. That's why we felt it was reasonable to ask for just a small share for
Joyce. It wouldn't hurt you much, and it would certainly earn you plenty of admiration for your generosity. Don’t
you think that sounds fair?” His smile grew wider, the creases on his face becoming more pronounced as he
worked to seem completely harmless.
Daniela sat in silence, observing him. The sunlight poured into her bright, spacious office, illuminating everything
except the man before her. Try as she might, she couldn't recall a single instance when Caiden had treated her
with genuine kindness.
Whatever fleeting image she had once clung to of him as a loving father had long since disintegrated—just like
Brylee’s once-beautiful face, now erased by the unforgiving passage of time.
A faint trace of sadness surfaced in Daniela’s heart, but it was swiftly devoured by a wave of disgust.
Caiden had lingered in her office the entire night, fully aware of the true worth of the robotics company.
Yet, he had the audacity to demand shares—for Joyce.
“If you won't part with shares, then just hand over $20 million,” Katrina chimed in without hesitation.
Daniela laughed then, a genuine sound laced with biting mockery.
“Oh, so this is a multiple-choice test now? What happens if | give you nothing? What leverage do you think you
have over me? You strolled in here, brazenly demanding money. If people heard about this little extortion
attempt, what do you think they'd say about you? Do you honestly believe you can take anything fromjust
by holding out your hands?” Katrina's face flushed red with anger. She opened her mouth to retort, but Daniela
was quicker.
“And one more thing. Does the Bennett family know you're broke? That you cgroveling tolike beggars?
Alexander and his family don’t care about Joyce. What they're after is what they think Elite Lux can offer Harper
Group. That's the only reason they agreed to this farce of a marriage. If | were to inform the Bennett family that |
have no plans to support Harper Group, do you think Alexander would still go through with marrying Joyce?” Her
words landed like a bolt of lightning.
Katrina started to tremble, her body shaking with a mix of fear and fury.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe stared at Daniela, finally recognizing that the woman before her was no longer the meek little girl she had
once manipulated with ease.
That once-shy girl had transformed into a queen—crowned and commanding her power with unwavering
authority.
“Daniela! You can’t destroy Joyce’s marriage!” Katrina's expression was a far cry from the smugness she'd shown
when she first learned Joyce had sabotaged Daniela’s wedding with fire. Now, she looked completely defeated.
