?Chapter 305:


    Katrina demanded, “What in the world are you doing?”


    Josie, standing confidently with her sleeves rolled up and overseeing the workers, pivoted to face her.


    “Dani prefers not to share her kitchen space with you. She requires more room. Thus, we are erging this area.”


    She pointed to a modest sink nestled in the corner and assured, “Don’t worry, that area is designated for your use.”


    Marilyn, who was visibly agitated, advanced with determination, her sleeves also now rolled up in readiness.


    “Why does she get all this space? Joyce has just weed a new baby and needs wholesome soups! How do you expect me to manage in such a cramped spot?”


    “That’s not my concern. Why are you bringing this to me? If you’re struggling with your responsibilities, maybe you need to reconsider your position here. Sort it out on your own.” Josie’s loyalty to Dani was unwavering. Despite her son’s substantial financial sess, she had opted to remain steadfastly by Dani’s side.


    She often said that Dani had faced many challenges in life, and she was willing to take care of Dani. Furthermore, Tyler’s prosperity was deeply intertwined with Dani’s encouragement and support. Filled with gratitude, Josie hadmitted herself to always protect and support Dani.


    Every so often, tales about the Harper family’s mistreatment of Dani would reach Josie through whispers from Ryan or Lillian. These stories invariably ignited a fiery anger within her. Upon learning of Dani’s return, Josie wasted no time in rushing to her aid, anxious that Dani might once again fall prey to the family’s cruelty.


    Her worries were slightly alleviated when she saw Cedric standing protectively by Dani’s side, yet Josie remained vignt, her defenses firmly up.

    Marilyn, Katrina’s aunt, had made herself quite at home in the residence. She savored the best foods, imed a prime spot at the family dining table, and enjoyed theforts of theirvish home. Now, with her dominance challenged by an outsider, her patience was wearing thin.


    “Who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that? This is the Harper family!” Marilyn snarled, her voice trembling with rage.


    “Oh, so you do know this is the Harper family?” Josie responded with a piercing, mockingugh.


    “That’s amusing. From the way you’ve beenporting yourself, one might assume we’re in your home.


    You’ve leeched off your employers for so long, you’vepletely lost sight of your actual standing here.”


    Marilyn, incensed, drew her hand back, poised to strike. But before her hand could meet its mark, the sharp sound of a p rang out, stopping her in her tracks.


    Marilyn stood there, utterly speechless, her body rigid with shock. In that moment, the world seemed to mute around her, leaving her enveloped in a disorienting buzz. The shame of Dani’s ps earlier was still fresh—a deep, stinging humiliation. But now, struck by a mere servant? It was utterly unthinkable.


    Ovee with fury, Marilyn lunged towards Josie, her face twisted in anger. However, Josie, with her years ofborious service sculpting her into a formidable force, did not retreat. With a swift and skilled motion, she delivered a series of sharp, echoing ps to Marilyn, each one leaving her more dazed and unsteady.


    Katrina noticed the escting chaos and stepped in, hoping to defuse the tension. Dani, lounging on the couch with her eyes fixed on the television, finally spoke.


    “If it’s just the servants quarreling, let them handle it. Katrina, if you interfere, you force my hand as well. And don’te crying to me if I act against you.” Her casual tone belied the gravity of her words, which seemed to linger heavily in the air.


    Katrina halted abruptly, her body quivering slightly with the weight of Dani’s warning. She found herself unable to move forward.
