Chapter 306
Chapter 306:
On the floor, Marilyn, now subdued and pinned down by Josie, broke down completely. Her cries filled the room
as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Katrina! Katrina! Help me!” Katrina, caught in a tumultuous internal struggle, remained still. Her eyes darted
from Marilyn, lying battered and crying on the floor, to Daniela, who remained disinterestedly on the couch,
seemingly oblivious to the commotion.
Though her jaw was locked with strain, Katrina made the deliberate choice to remain still, unwilling to get
involved.
Katrina mustered a smile that was far from genuine.
“Daniela, you really should have a word with your people. Look at Marilyn — she’s my aunt. If word gets out, it
might tarnish the Harper family’s reputation.”
Daniela remained focused on the television.
“Daniela.”

“Perhaps you're misunderstanding something?”
“What do you mean by that?” Katrina asked, her confusion evident.
“Marilyn is a servant in this family. If you can’t grasp such a simple fact, how can you possibly be fit to oversee
anything in this household?”
Katrina's smile stiffened, her face freezing as her words failed her.

“Daniela, you've really changed.
You've becquite cutting with your words.”
“That's right,” Daniela answered, her smile calm and unwavering.
“It’s a pity | didn’t figure it out sooner. | used to believe that maintaining family harmony was paramount. But
actually, | don’t even have a family anymore. | tolerated all the nonsense for years, and it was all for nothing.
Reflecting on my former self, | can only laugh at how naive | was. But that’s behindnow. Now, I've realized
the most important thing in life is to seek my own happiness. And for that lesson, | have you to thank. After
years of observing you, I've finally caught on. Honestly, I'm embarrassed it tookso long to learn from such a
perfect example.”
Ryan and Lillian, standing a short distance away, couldn't suppress their laughter any longer. Daniela spun
around to face them, her brow furrowed in confusion.
“What's so funny? I'm merely stating the obvious.”
Their laughter grew louder, almost contagious.
“Absolutely, you couldn't be more right.”
Katrina looked at Daniela’s people. The tension made her hesitant to speak further, fearing any misstep might
have her ending up on the floor like Marilyn.
Just then, the wail of an ambulance cut through the chatter, and soon, paramedics were escorting Marilyn out on
a stretcher.
Joyce caught sight of Marilyn's severely swollen face and gasped in horror. For the first time, genuine fear of
Daniela crept into Joyce's heart. Daniela’s behavior was wildly unpredictable—bordering on madness.
Joyce's eyes darted from the kitchen to Daniela. She asked, “Dad, surely Daniela isn’t thinking of staying here for
good, is she? You promised—every asset of the Harper family was meant for Jack! What is she doing here? Is she
challenging Jack for the inheritance now? How could Daniela act so shamelessly? Trying to claim what you vowed

Katrina added, “It's unbelievable how Daniela has worsened over the years. After relinquishing everything and
walking away, why return now to snatch it away? She's well aware that you dedicated it all to Joyce. And not just
the company—now she’s eyeing the house too? Isn’t that going a bit too far? Despite her wealth, she seems
indifferent to our modest assets. It's as if she’s driven purely by the desire to spite us.”
Caiden'’s face clouded over, his gaze turning icy with displeasure. Daniela’s antics were a constant thorn in his
side! He was baffled by her motivations. What compelled her to disrupt their tranquility so persistently?
