Chapter 309:
He was cut off mid-sentence as Daniela’s hand moved abruptly. Caiden’s brow furrowed, his confusion palpable
as he watched her closely.
“What's the matter? Am | wrong?”
“Just so you know, I've been in touch with Seth recently.” A trace of panic flickered across Caiden’s features, his
face momentarily frozen.
“It wasn’t Seth’s choice to leave, was it? He and the others were devoted to you, yet your mistrust pushed them
away from the company. Seth confided inthat once | stabilize the operations, he’s prepared to return
everything he took upon his departure.”

A wave of redness washed over Caiden’s face, leaving him visibly flustered.
“He really mentioned that? | hadn't realized he still held such regard for you. But then again, could it be because
of your mother? Seth had a soft spot for her. They maintained a facade of friendship, but the glances they
exchanged were telling. It wasn’t appropriate. And Daniela, you persistently faultfor marrying Katrina shortly
after your mother passed, but how can you be so certain your mother was faithful tofirst? This city is
teeming with businesses led by men. But your mother had to be the exception, venturing into the business realm
herself. Do you honestly believe a woman could succeed alone in such a world? Who knows how many men...”
Daniela slammed a hefty ashtray down onto the table with all her might. The glass shattered, sending shards
scattering across the room.
The broken glass sliced through Daniela’s hand, but she didn’t react in the slightest.
She stared coldly at Caiden. He had gotten so used to badmouthing Brylee in front of Katrina that he never
considered the bitterness in his words.

As expected, today was no different—he didn’t hold back. What he had forgotten, however, was one key detail:
sitting across from him was Daniela, Brylee’s daughter.
Daniela’s laugh echoed, cold and unsettling, sending a chill down Caiden’s spine. Slowly, he stood up from his
seat. Katrina and Joyce, realizing that Caiden had messed up, hurried into the room, clearly desperate to defuse
the situation.
Before either could speak, Daniela’s voice cut through the silence.
“Caiden, if it weren't for my mother’s efforts to build this family, do you think you'd even have the privilege to sit
here, spewing such garbage? Who do you think you are, talking about my mother like that?”
Caiden’s face flushed with anger, his eyes flickering with fury, but he remained silent, not daring to respond.

“You struggled to tear down everything my mother built.
You were scared that Harper Group might actually succeed—scared people would see you for the failure you
really are. Let's get one thing clear: nothing will ever change the fact that you're nothing but a parasite, a
freeloader, a pretty face who used his looks to marry my mother.
You've spent your whole life hiding behind a mask of false respectability, desperately clinging to a fragile ego.
But it’s all laughable. Everyone sees through it.
You're not fit to be a husband, and you certainly don’t have what it takes to be a father.”
Caiden’s face contorted with humiliation. Daniela’s words had torn apart his pride in front of everyone.
Consumed by rage and desperation, he lifted his hand, aiming to slap her and silence her once and for all. But
before he could do it, an iron grip seized his wrist.
A sharp jolt of pain surged through his wrist as he tried to break free, but the hold only tightened.
