Chapter 193:
“Daniela, | admit it’s my fault,” Alexander explained, his tone casual and distant, as if the issue didn’t matter
much to him.
“That sketchbook was worn out, and frankly, it wasn’t worth much. I'll have a better one sent to you soon.”
After a brief pause, he spoke again, clearly thinking the matter settled.
“A few days ago, my dad mentioned he visited you and suggested | invite you for a meal. When would be a good
time? Let's call it my way of saying sorry. How does that sound?”
A heavy silence filled the room. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Daniela. The coldness in her posture, the way her
hand tightened at her side—it was clear she was fuming, a storm of emotions brewing under her still exterior,
though she remained silent.
Caiden bit his lip, stepping closer to console her.

“Fine.” Daniela’s unexpected reply interrupted him, her voice steady but surprising. She gave a slight smile and
spoke into the phone.
“Let's meet at Elite Lux.”
She ended the call without another word.
Katrina, watching her closely, scoffed loudly.

“Oh, so now you're playing hard to get, huh? All that nonsense about how precious that sketchbook was to you—
what a joke. The truth is, you were just looking for any excuse to get close to Alexander again, weren't you?
Don't try to fool anyone, Daniela.
You're still the spathetic girl, desperate to follow Alexander around like seager little puppy, hoping for
his attention.”
Katrina's words were laced with venom.
“If this was your plan all along, why bother with all the ? Daniela, you disgust me.”
Daniela casually threw the phone into Katrina's arms, her gaze unblinking. She leaned in closer, her voice low
enough for only the two of them to hear.
“You're right about one thing. | chere just to disgust you. After the meal with Alexander, do you honestly
think your plan to marry Joyce into the Bennett family is still going to succeed?”
Katrina's expression darkened.
Daniela let out a soft, unsettling laugh, one that didn’t resemble the sweet girl everyone was familiar with.
“Katrina, | couldn’t care less about what you've done before. But this time, you've gone too far. Don’t worry, |
won't deal with you. I'll let you stay alive long enough to watch what happens to Joyce.”
With that, Daniela turned and walked away, leaving Katrina standing there in stunned silence. Her hands
clenched into fists, and her voice trembled with fury as she shouted after her, “How dare you! Daniela, how dare
you!”
Her words echoed in the stillness, but Daniela didn’t spare a glance. Without hesitation, she slid into her

As Peyton descended the stairs, her gaze wandered toward Joyce's room. The room was a perfect blend of
princess-like elegance, filled with sunlight. It was spacious and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows that opened to
a verdant greenbelt. Fresh air streamed in, rejuvenating anyone who entered.
Peyton snapped her head towards Caiden, shooting him a cold look.
