?Chapter 307:


    Life could’ve been simple, but no, she just had to screw it all up like a goddamn tornado.


    Katrina cast a wary nce at the living room, now bustling with the noise of Dani’s people reorganizing the area.


    With each change, it seemed their family’s living space dwindled even more.


    Pressing her lips together in frustration, Katrina turned to face Caiden.


    “Honey, it’s clear Dani isn’t taking our concerns to heart. Maybe you could have a word with her?”


    Caiden responded with a harsh, cynical chuckle, “Do you honestly believe she’ll pay any heed to what I have to say? Just look at her, parading around as if she owns the ce. If I confront her, she’s likely to rip into me!”


    The truth was, Caiden harbored a deep-seated guilt over his previous dealings with Dani, which now deterred him from facing her.


    Dani’s aura was one of formidable resolve, a stark contrast to anyone who dared challenge her—a trait that deeply unnerved him.


    Back when Brylee was around, she kept Caiden under her wing, protecting him from the world. He was nothing more than a coward who preyed on the weak and cowered before the strong. At first, Dani looked like a pushover, the perfect victim who wouldn’t dare fight back. He had taken full advantage of that, treating her like dirt. But now…


    As Dani put on a disy of bravado, Caiden visibly recoiled.


    “Caiden!” Katrina eximed, her voice tinged with exasperation.


    “This isn’t just about me or Joyce anymore. We’re talking about securing our family’s future! What about Jack? Are you really willing to just leave him in the lurch?”


    Stay tuned galnov??????.co??


    With a heavy sigh, Caiden dismissed her concerns with a wave of his hand.


    “Thepany shares are intact. The portion Brylee left me—Dani can’ty a finger on that. As long as she’s at the helm, Jack will continue to receive his cut of the profits. Just look at Dani—she looks like she’s ready to tear someone apart. Do you honestly believe confronting her will help? It’ll only backfire on us.”


    After all, Dani was Brylee’s own flesh and blood, endowed with the same formidable acumen. How could Caiden not feel intimidated?


    Katrina was far from appeased. She stared at Caiden with a mix of disappointment and frustration.


    “You need to have a word with her. Don’t make it a confrontation. Just keep it calm. Talk to her the same way you did when you negotiated for thepany shares.”


    Her emphasis on “talk to her” hung heavily in the air, brimming with hidden pressure.


    Caiden swiveled to face Katrina, a skeptical frown creasing his brow.


    “You want me to act all pitiful again? What if she sees right through it this time?”


    Back when Dani had first grappled with the loss of her mother, she had clung to him, utterly vulnerable.


    However, years had trickled by since then, and the bond they once shared had frayed, delicate as tissue.


    What could he possibly reap from dredging up old tactics?


    “Just give it a shot! How will you know unless you try? You’re still her father. If you approach her with sincere tears and express your remorse, surely she can’t disregard you entirely,” Katrina coaxed.


    Caiden’s eyes dropped, weighed down by resignation.
