Chapter 344:
Cedric narrowed his eyes, his tone skeptical.
“And what exactly is this weapon?”
Caiden extended his hand, a sly smile creeping across his face.
“I can show you the way to Daniela’s heart, locking in a lifetof wealth and luxury.
You could live just as | do, enjoying a life of comfort. Daniela’s even better at making money than her mother.
But I'm not offering this for free. Don’t you think it's only fair to offer something in return? It wouldn't be right for
Cedric’s expression tightened, his brows knitting together.
“So, is this a business proposition you're making?”
“Con, don’t put it like that. If you win Daniela over, we'll be family. I'll be your father-in-law. A little cash for
Caiden, seemingly offended by the term “business proposition,” conducted himself in a completely transactional

Caiden'’s face brightened at the question. Laughing lightly, he said, “You're more generous than Alexander,
Cedric. I'm not asking for much, just this amount.”
He raised a finger.
“A hundred million. That's reasonable, right?”

Cedric didn’t say a word, casting a calm glance at Caiden. Caiden tried to read Cedric’s impassive expression but
found no clues. Was the price too high?
Uncertain, Caiden averted his eyes.
“If that’s too much, I'm open to negotiating.”
Cedric took another slow sip of his coffee, maintaining his composure. Caiden, watching Cedric’s unhurried
movements, pressed his lips together.
“How about eighty million, then?” Cedric glanced at him, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Hesitating, Caiden added, “Still too much? Cedric, Daniela is worth more than that, isn’t she? | wouldn't be
proposing this if | didn’t urgently need the money. | could offer this opportunity to many others, but I'm giving
you the first chance because | think you're a good man.”
As his situation grew dire, Caiden becvisibly more desperate. The luxurious lifestyles of Katrina and Joyce
had left him under significant financial pressure.
“Then my final offer is fifty million. Consider it, Cedric. Daniela is beautiful, and nothing significant occurred
between her and Alexander. She's still pristine. Isn't fifty million a modest sum for someone like her? Raising
Daniela wasn’t easy. For what I'm asking, it’s a bargain.”
Cedric’s face turned colder, his displeasure evident. Caiden, overly eager, didn’t notice the shift in the
conversation.
“So, you're suggesting this is like a payment for marriage?”
Cedric broke his silence, attempting to clarify. Caiden paused momentarily, not fully grasping Cedric’s subtle
change in direction. He dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand.

Marriage and business deals should not be conflated.”
Cedric responded with a thoughtful “Okay,” as his expression turned serious.
“Let’s be clear, Cedric. If you're genuinely considering a future with Daniela, fifty million won't suffice.” It
dawned on Caiden that he could benefit not just from Joyce but from Daniela as well. Excited by the prospect,
Caiden engaged more intensely.
