Chapter 178:
Katrina pressed her lips together, her left cheek now swollen from the slap.
Inside, she cursed whoever had thought it was a good idea to bring Peyton back from the countryside.
With a forced smile, she said, “Didn’t you mention you weren't used to city life? What brings you here today?” As
she spoke, she cursed Peyton in her mind.
Peyton remained seated, her posture rigid and unyielding.
“Bring Caiden down here.”
When Caiden walked in, he offered a quiet “Mom” in greeting before settling into a seat nearby.
Katrina was sent upstairs, out of earshot.
Peyton's voice dropped to a chilling tone as she turned to him.
“So, you've cut ties with Daniela, have you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaiden, perched on a small stool, gave a brief nod.
“Yes.”
“She’s your own daughter.
Your flesh and blood. Have you completely lost your sense, Caiden?”
Lately, he'd been hearing this so much that it hardly registered anymore.
Caiden glanced up at the stairs and saw Katrina watching from above. He was about to say something but
thought better of it and kept quiet.
“Regardless of anything, Daniela is your firstborn. How could you be so cruel? She’s always had a gentle heart. If
you hadn’t pushed her to her limits, she wouldn't have pulled away. Even now, she’s still considering ways to
help her uncles find employment. Her heart is in the right place, Caiden. I'm telling you, it's tto bring Daniela
back into this family!”
Caiden paused, glancing at the stairs again.
As expected, Katrina hurried down the stairs.
“That's out of the question! Caiden’s decision to cut ties with Daniela was officially approved!”
Katrina was in a panic. Alexander was ready to marry Joyce. Once Joyce took control of the Harper family’s
fortune, Katrina wouldn't need Caiden anymore. With the Bennett family’s support, there was nothing Joyce
couldn't achieve.
She had already envisioned a future where Alexander would rule Harper Group, with Joyce—her daughter—
empowering her with the power she craved.
She was done being subservient. She eagerly awaited the day when Caiden would be the one waiting on her, not
the other way around.
But now, Peyton wanted to bring Daniela back into the picture? That could ruin everything.
Peyton’s gaze sharpened as she glared at Katrina.
“I don’t care about legal papers. Daniela is still part of this family, whether you like it or not. Without my
approval and a proper family meeting, she stays. The wealth you have now is because of Brylee. | kept quiet
when you remarried, but | won't sit back and let outsiders take advantage of my granddaughter!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo Peyton, the only thing that truly mattered was bloodline. How could Joyce possibly inherit the Harper family
legacy? Absolutely not!
Caiden hung his head, not daring to protest.
“Mom, please don’t get upset.
You're right. We'll do whatever you say.”
