Chapter 312:
“What's ‘Host Mode’ mean?”
Joyce glanced up, a playful smile on her face.
“Wow, Dad, are you starting to take an interest in gaming?”
“What does it mean?” Caiden asked again, frowning.
Joyce casually explained, “Host Mode indicates that a member of the development team is internally testing the
game. If there's a number 1 next to it, it means the CEO of the company is the one testing it personally. The
team uses their feedback to refine the game.”
Katrina looked at Joyce with pride.
“Joyce, you really know your stuff! Your father should help you start your own gaming company. Imagine how
jealous Daniela will be when you make a fortune.”
Katrina's face lit up as if Joyce had already beca billionaire. Joyce flashed a big smile.

At the mention of the figure, Katrina's smile stiffened. She turned to Caiden for support and found him lost in
thought, his eyebrows furrowed.
“What's wrong?” she inquired.
Caiden did not reply immediately. Gradually, he raised his eyes, his expression serious as he looked at Katrina
and Joyce.

“I saw Daniela playing this exact game.”
Joyce, taken aback, lightly scoffed, “Really? Daniela managed to get a beta spot? That's hard to believe. They're
extremely rare.”
Caiden said, “In the upper-left corner of her phone, it displayed ‘Host Mode.'”
Joyce's mouth fell open, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief.
But Caiden wasn’t done yet. He turned to Katrina and said somberly, “Behind ‘Host Mode,’ there was the number
1.
Upon their return from the hospital, Caiden, Katrina, and Joyce were greeted by the sight of Daniela, who was
still engrossed in her game, oblivious to their presence.
Joyce, always perceptive, quickly sensed a change in Caiden’s demeanor.
Katrina and Joyce also appeared unusually subdued, their typical arrogance replaced by what seemed like
obsequiousness.
“Daniela,” Caiden called out, making his way towards her with his arm in a cast. He leaned over for a closer look
at her phone screen.
This time, he clearly noticed in the upper-left corner of her screen the words ‘Host Mode,” followed by the
number 1. Joyce also approached, peeking at the screen. When she saw it, she gasped, her expression one of
thrilled surprise.
Caiden’s laugh echoed, softer and more conciliatory than before.
“Sweetheart, | admit | was wrong. The harsh words about your mother were unjustified. | deserve the fallout. But
remember, Daniela, we're family, and there should be no enduring resentment between us, right? Please, don’t

Daniela looked up from her phone, a mild surprise registering on her face, followed by a look of confusion.
She had anticipated Caiden would brood for weeks, if not months, given their earlier conflict.
Previously, when Katrina joined the family, Daniela’s mere refusal to eat Katrina's cooking had led Caiden to
shun her for a full year.
Back then, Daniela was just five years old, mourning her mother’s death and yearning for her father’s affection.
His detachment had left her feeling abandoned and heartbroken, which eventually led her into a deep
depression.
