?Chapter 301:


    “Absolutely not!”


    “How is this possible? That room gets the best sunlight in the whole house. It’s the biggest and the mostfortable! Joyce has always stayed there,” Katrina protested.


    “I think it’s high time we fix that mistake,” Dani said without missing a beat.


    “But…” Katrina paused, fists clenched.


    “Joyce just had a baby! What do you expect her to do now?”


    Dani’s tone stayed calm.


    “She can share a room with the baby. What’s the problem with that?”


    Katrina quickly shook her head.


    “That is out of the question! Joyce has always had everything she wanted. She can’t stay in that small room with bad airflow. The baby is still so young, he can put up with it. And once the child gets older, we’ll need more space. Joyce simply can’t stay there.” Dani just smiled lightly.


    Just then, Cedric came out of another room, dragged a chair over, and took a seat next to Dani. His calm presence felt like a shield of reassurance.


    Katrina’s usual confidence seemed to wither under his piercing gaze. She nced at Cedric, then forced a stiff smile.


    “Mr. Phillips, this is a family matter.”


    Cedric returned her look with a yful grin.


    ???è?? ￠?ΔT?εЯ? ?η ?a?иoν???.???


    “Is that so?” He didn’t even move, stayingpletely still.


    Feeling ufortable, Katrina turned to Caiden with a look that begged for help.


    Caiden was about to ask Cedric to leave when Dani interrupted in a cool, collected tone.


    “This house was part of my mother’s inheritance, and I’m her only child. In my mother’s house, I can invite whoever I want. If some people aren’t happy with that, they’re wee to leave.”


    Her words hit hard, and Caiden’s face twisted in anger.


    Dani, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to his reaction. Katrina, irritated but trying to maintainposure in front of their guest, forced another smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes.


    “Alright, Dani, if you’re so determined. But Joyce can’t move out of the room just yet? How about this? There’s a nice guest room downstairs.


    You can stay there for now. Once the baby’s a bit older, we can switch. Surely, you wouldn’t take a room from a newborn and her mother, right?” Her suggestion was cleverly made.


    Joyce pped her hands in approval.


    After all, who needed more protection than a new mother and her baby?


    Katrina had a n in mind. Dani would settle into the guest room for now, andter, whether she moved back or not, would be entirely her choice. If she found the guest room ufortable and chose to leave, that would be ideal. Dani wasn’t one to make a fuss over things. She had always epted the smallest, stuffy room upstairs without a word of protest.


    Katrina was sure this time would be no different. She believed that as long as she offered Dani a half-hearted excuse, she’d quietlyply.


    “Alright, let’s leave it here,” Caiden said, clearly agreeing. At least, in his eyes, Dani never stirred up trouble.


    “Now, everyone go get cleaned up for dinner.”
