Chapter 303:
“What the hell is wrong with you? You actually had the audacity to hit me?”
“Why not? Did you honestly think you were above it all?” Daniela shot back with a frosty glare.
“I am Katrina's aunt, and | am considerably older than you! How dare you!” Marilyn exclaimed, her hand raised
in anger. Cedric was just pulling himself to his feet when another slap resounded in the room.
Daniela picked up a napkin from the table and wiped her hand.
“I've already made myself clear. From today onward, I'm not holding back. | don’t give a damn who you are. To
me, you're just another nobody. | have a short fuse, and | tend to hold grudges. Anyone who has wronged me
shouldn't be surprised when | pay them back in kind.”
Marilyn shivered under the intensity of Daniela’s cold stare, feeling suddenly shaken. Was this really the girl who
had silently endured hunger whenever she refused her food? The sgirl who had meekly apologized to her

Daniela then turned her focus to Joyce, who instinctively stepped back. A slight smile played on Daniela’s lips.
“You have one hour to remove your belongings from that room. Otherwise, | will discard them myself.”
Rage lit up Joyce's eyes, a fiery intensity taking over her expression. She turned desperately to Katrina.
“Mom!” However, Katrina, visibly disturbed by Daniela’s outburst, remained silent. Caiden clenched his jaw
tightly.

“Are you freaking crazy, Daniela? What's gotten into you?” he blurted out, his voice strained with disbelief.
Indeed, Daniela’s earlier claims were not without merit. When Brylee had unexpectedly passed, she bequeathed
her estate equally between Caiden and Daniela. Brylee’s generosity and kindness had made her beloved among
the company’s veteran employees, who in turn showed Caiden the srespect.
Yet, Katrina contended that entrusting so many shares to a child was imprudent. She argued that a daughter
would eventually marry, diminishing her need for such extensive assets. By reclaiming those shares, Caiden
could fortify his position within the company. Furthermore, he would need to amass a considerable dowry for
Joyce in the future.
Katrina insinuated that Daniela, still mourning Brylee’s demise, was overly reliant on Caiden for emotional
support. She craftily suggested that if Caiden appeared sufficiently pitiable, Daniela would be unable to deny him
anything.
Following Katrina’s manipulative advice, Caiden acted accordingly. Predictably, Daniela relinquished all her
shares in the company. Back then, Daniela was merely a child, easily duped by Caiden, who deceitfully
exchanged Brylee’s lifelong achievements for nothing more than a simple lollipop.
If Daniela had not brought up the past, Caiden wouldn't have remembered it at all. Now confronted with the
undeniable truth, he remained tight-lipped.
Katrina caught the weight of his silence, her teeth gritting as she realized there was no escaping the task of
moving Joyce from her current room today. With a contrived tenderness, she turned to Cedric, softening her
expression in a bid to seem reasonable. She coaxed Daniela in a sugary tone dripping with insincerity.

the room means so much to you, consider it yours. Marilyn, would you please start packing Joyce's belongings
and take them out?”
Marilyn, still clutching her cheek, stormed upstairs in frustration. Daniela’s lips twisted into a subtle, scornful
smile.
