Chapter 310:
Then cthe sickening sound that echoed through the room. The unmistakable snap of bone broke the tense
silence.
Cedric stood there, under the harsh light, his expression unreadable. His cold gaze bore into Caiden, as though
looking down at something insignificant.
“I recommend you don’t try that again. Because next time, it won't stop at just a broken bone.”
Katrina and Joyce stood paralyzed, their faces drained of color. Katrina didn’t dare challenge Cedric, so she
fumbled for her phone, dialing for an ambulance.
As she waited for the connection, she shot a look at Daniela.

“Daniela, no matter what, he’s still your father. How could you allow someone like him to be hurt like this?”
Katrina's thoughts seethed with frustration. What a pack of brutes! They couldn't have a civil conversation
without resorting to violence.
Daniela, however, just smiled as she sat back down.
“Save your breath. I've outgrown the need for father-daughter heart-to-heart talks.
Your old tricks don’t have any power overanymore. Maybe it’s tyou cup with something new. By the
way, I've already sold the villa you recently purchased. The money's been deposited into the company’s
account. As for your offshore holdings, you've got one week to bring them back. If you fail, | won't hesitate to
have you arrested. Since the company’s been running inefficiently, I've already terminated all those ‘family
favors’ staff members to cut expenses. | suggest you find a way to bring in srevenue quickly. Personally, |
don’t mind if the company keeps bleeding money—I can take the hit.
You, on the other hand, might not fare as well. If the company collapses, you'll be responsible for forty-nine
percent of the debt. That includes losing this villa. When that happens, perhaps you'll finally grasp the reality of
having nowhere to call home.”
Caiden’s body was drenched in cold sweat, the searing pain from his broken wrist almost too much to endure.

Fighting through the fog of agony, he managed to lift his eyes toward Daniela.
Her cold, unfeeling stare cut through him like a blade. The steady authority in her demeanor sent shivers down
his spine. In that moment, it was as though Brylee herself had cback to life and was standing before him.
That chilling thought hit him like a ton of bricks, confirming his deepest, darkest fear.
The very nightmare he had spent years avoiding had finally beca reality—Daniela had grown into the
spitting image of her mother.
No!

Daniela wasn't just like Brylee—she was colder, sharper, and even more merciless!
While en route to the hospital, Katrina expressed her bewilderment.
“Why were you fighting again? Didn't | tell you to be nice to Daniela?”
Caiden felt unjustly treated and had the urge to counter. He parted his lips to speak, yet no words formed.
After a brief pause, he sagged and said in a bitter tone, “You don’t get it. When Brylee had just died, | could
easily cry and act the part in front of Daniela. | played the submissive role, and she bought it at the time. But
years of comfort have madeforget how to bow down. Daniela’s too perceptive—she saw through my act.”
Katrina's expression darkened with frustration.
“Even if she did see through you, you shouldn't have angered her so much! Do you understand the implications?
Our living costs have always been managed by the company. But just today, the finance team of Harper Group
reached out to me. They declared that the company’s money will now only fund business operations—no
personal spending allowed. And with the company in financial trouble, there won't be any dividends for at least a
year. Our money is all tied up abroad, and we're left with nearly nothing here. How do you propose we manage
our living expenses now that you've completely alienated Daniela?”
Hearing this, Caiden struck his thigh in vexation, his teeth clenched.
