Chapter 527:
Daniela caught sight of Joyce entering and narrowed her eyes slightly but said nothing.
Cedric quickly took a seat beside Daniela. He wasn't interested in Joyce, but he thoroughly enjoyed being the
center of Daniela’s attention.
A little pampering now and then didn’t bother him at all. As Cedric moved closer to her, Daniela offered a faint
smile before turning her attention back to the documents spread out in front of her.
Joyce felt like she had just been subjected to an overly sugary moment. Mumbling something under her breath,
she stomped upstairs.
When Joyce returned downstairs, Daniela’s secretary was already gone.
Joyce threw herself onto the living room sofa, exuding a newfound sense of confidence. Even Caiden couldn't
help but notice how much Joyce’s mood had improved.
“So, what's the deal? Did someone bail you out of your debt mess?” Caiden asked, raising an eyebrow. Joyce let

“Yeah. Who needs a useless dad when I've got someone who actually steps up?” Caiden instantly caught the
meaning behind her words. He didn’t care much and shrugged it off as something that didn’t affect him.
Caiden turned his attention back to the TV, while Daniela cast a calm, measured glance at Joyce. To Daniela,
there were people who would never learn restraint, no matter how many times life knocked them down. And
Joyce was exactly that type of person.
Settling on the couch, Daniela opened her laptop and started typing with purpose. She'd already had a nagging
feeling that something didn’t add up.
Katrina had claimed to be out of options, yet somehow she'd managed to gather millions to secure Joyce's
release. Katrina, who had been Caiden’s wife for years, might have stashed away a small fortune. But did she
truly have access to a hundred million? That question alone stirred Daniela’s suspicions.

With swift precision, she hacked into the banking system and retrieved Katrina's recent transaction records. As
expected, a seven-figure transfer had landed in Katrina's account just one day before Joyce's release.
Daniela tapped on the screen, and the sender's npopped up. Erika Schmidt.
Daniela recognized the ninstantly—it was Katrina's mother, a notorious gambler. Katrina had often
supported Erika financially in the past, so it wasn’t shocking to see smoney flowing back her way. But still,
where did Katrina manage to secure a hundred million for Joyce?
Daniela checked every phone number linked to Erika, her fingers dancing over the keyboard. It didn't take long
for her to uncover all of Erika’s recent calls and messages.
One message, in particular, grabbed Daniela’s attention.
“There's a man named Doug Fairburne. | told him you need money, and he said he’s willing to help. If you keep
him company, he'll transfer the funds right away.”
Daniela angled her laptop, letting Cedric read the message glowing on the screen.
Cedric’s eyes instantly landed on Doug’s name. He lifted a hand and tapped the screen lightly. Daniela gave a
small nod in response. Cedric winked at her.
“What are you doing?” Joyce asked, her mood noticeably brighter after reading the message, which she believed
held the key to solving her problems. Her dreams of a fresh start rekindled, and she looked at Cedric with

But Cedric and Daniela seemed so engrossed in each other that they barely acknowledged her presence. They
looked as if they might lean in and kiss at any second. Daniela tilted her head slightly, catching Joyce's gaze, and
offered a faint smile.
The moment Joyce caught that smile, a sense of unease gripped her. She knew all too well that whenever
Daniela smiled like that, it usually spelled trouble for her.
