Chapter 531:
Joyce shot Katrina a quick look and continued, “Doug didn’t ask for a divorce. He just wants you to keep him
company. Mom, that’s one hundred million! And isn’t dealing with men something you're well-versed in?”
Katrina felt completely exhausted. If she had the energy, she would have slapped Joyce across the face. This was
her precious daughter. The one she had loved with all her heart.
“How could you say something like that?” Katrina felt her heart crack. She was filled with a deep sense of
disappointment.
Lately, she'd been wondering: If Daniela killed her, would Joyce step in to avenge her, as Daniela had done for
her own mother?
The thought made her heart ache with sadness. Joyce was still so young and had to carry such a heavy burden of
bitterness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut now, it turned out she had been fooling herself all along.
Joyce was nothing like Daniela.
Years ago, Brylee had been too busy, hardly ever spending twith the five-year-old Daniela. But that young
Daniela clung to her mother’s memory with relentless devotion.
Meanwhile, Katrina's own daughter—the one she had raised for over two decades—was now telling her to sleep
with a stranger to settle her debt. It felt as though her whole world was crumbling around her.
“Joyce, you're aware I'm married, right? You've called Caiden ‘Dad’ for more than twenty years. How could you
askto go along with this?”
Unfazed by her mother’s pain, Joyce responded casually, “But didn’t you do the sthing before? You cheated
on my real dad with Caiden. | was young, sure, but | wasn’t blind. The garden, the bathroom, the rooftop, the
kitchen. Didn't you and Caiden sneak around in all those spots? How is this any different? Caiden wasn’t even
close to being as rich as Doug, was he?”
Katrina felt a painful tightness grip her chest.

“Joyce, think about it. | asked you once how you'd feel about Caiden becoming your new father, and you
agreed.”
Joyce nodded.
“And now, | agree with Doug becoming the new father.”
Katrina felt completely crushed. She had always seen Doug as a last resort, someone she could turn to only
when all other options were exhausted.
Years ago, there had been slove between her and Caiden. But now, she faced the possibility of staying in
her marriage while getting involved with another man purely for financial gain.
A decade ago, perhaps she could have. But after so many years of comfort, she wasn’t willing to sacrifice her
dignity like that anymore.
She had worked so hard to leave her past behind, and now it felt like she was slipping right back into it. Leaning
back against the headboard, Katrina sighed.

Joyce narrowed her eyes.
“So, you're refusing to help me? You were willing to sneak around with Caiden for your own sake, but now you
won't make a single sacrifice for me?”
Joyce threw the orange she had been holding onto the floor in frustration.
“Katrina, you broughtinto this world.
You're responsible for me! You have to figure out a way to clear my hundred-million debt!”
With that, Joyce stormed out of the hospital room without a second glance.
