?Chapter 194:


    “Caiden, you really went all out raising someone else’s daughter!”


    Ronald and Wyatt, on the other hand, were only concerned with one thing.


    “Mom, do you think Dani will keep her word? When do you think she’ll make it happen?”


    After all, it was about a future of endless wealth and luxury.


    Peyton’s wrinkled face twisted into a displeased frown.


    “Didn’t you notice the way she was acting today? She was in a terrible mood. Just give her some time. I’ll take some fruit and visit her at work. Did you see? She didn’t even argue with a single thing I said earlier. Trust me, she’s wealthy now, and you’re her uncles. Do you really think she’d hold back from helping you?”


    Ronald and Wyatt visibly rxed, their tense expressions softening with relief.


    But Katrina wasn’t as easilyforted.


    She turned to Caiden, her voice edged with concern.


    “Caiden, what do you think Dani meant by what she said? Is she trying to destroy Alexander and Joyce’s rtionship? She is, isn’t she?”


    Caiden remainedposed, his tone steady.


    “You’re reading too much into it. Dani isn’t like that.”


    “Not like that? She said it herself! She told me exactly what she was nning. And the way she looked at me—her eyes were cold, full of calction, ruthless! Dani is Brylee’s daughter! She’s got that same blood running through her veins. With a mother like Brylee, how could Dani possibly be anything but trouble?”

    Katrina’s anxiety grew stronger as she continued, “You have to understand, Caiden. Dani really said it. She promised she wouldn’t touch me, but then she made it clear she wants me to witness Joyce’s destruction firsthand. She’s nning to ruin our daughter!”


    “That’s impossible. Dani is my daughter too. She wouldn’t harm Joyce,” Caiden responded tly.


    Katrina copsed into tears, cursing Peyton, Caiden, and Dani more fiercely than ever.


    Annoyed, Caiden snatched his phone and retreated to the guest room.


    Joyce went to the balcony, a cigarette dangling between her fingers.


    “Mom, I’m telling you, there’s something really off about Caidentely. He’s not acting like himself at all.”


    In the past, no matter what Katrina asked of him, Caiden would always obey without question.


    He never dared to oppose her, always going along with her wishes. He showered her with affection, treating her as if she were precious beyond measure.


    She had free rein over the finances, spending as she pleased, and he never once raised an objection. His attitude towards Dani had always been one of contempt.


    Today, however, when Caiden saw Dani, there was no trace of his usual irritation, but rather a subtle, restrained joy.


    That wasn’t like him at all. Something definitely wasn’t right.


    Katrina’s mother replied, “Caiden’s always been like this for years. Why are you acting so surprised? You’re just being too impatient. Besides, you’ve had the upper hand with Dani for so long. How could she suddenly flip the script? Don’t worry.


    You still hold the power over him.”


    Katrina hung up the phone. Her eyes lingered on the city lights outside as she murmured to herself, “Looks like Dani won’t be as easy to handle from now on.”
