Chapter 200:
“Let bygones be bygones? So, you beg for mercy when you screw up, but when it’s someone else’s turn, you
never let them live it down. Real classy of you, Katrina. And letmake one thing clear—if you're so desperate,
feel free to scoop up the trash | toss out, but leave my nout of your pathetic games. | don’t deal with
leftovers. Oh, and one more thing.
Your family really does have a thing for scraps, don’t they? Just because Joyce is desperate enough to cling to
Alexander doesn’t mean | give a damn. Doa favor and keep your filthy to yourself—I can’t stomach
that disgusting crap.”
Joyce felt those words like a punch to the gut, knocking the air right out of her. The insult didn’t just wound
Joyce; it deeply affected Katrina and Caiden as well. Everyone present was taken aback.
This was a side of Daniela they had never witnessed before. Esteemed for her principled conduct and seldom
seen engaging in disputes, Daniela had always appeared aloof, often ignoring petty squabbles and dismissing
the gossip swirling around her.
Yet, no one had ever seen her display such vehement anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout a moment's pause, Daniela whipped out her phone and dialed Alexander's number, right there in front
of the entire Harper family and an increasingly curious circle of bystanders. She then activated the
speakerphone.
Since their divorce, Daniela had never once reached out to Alexander first. The sudden call took him by surprise,
and his voice, tinged with unexpected warmth, didn’t go unnoticed by Katrina, who watched with a frosty glare.
“Hello, Daniela.”
Daniela’s voice cut through the air like a shard of ice, chilling Ryan and Lillian to their core. It was as if she
harbored a murderous intent.

“Alexander, | have you on speakerphone. The Harpers are present. | need a direct answer. Have you been
engaged to Joyce or not?”
“Absolutely not. | assure you, | have never been engaged to Joyce.”
Daniela turned her piercing gaze to Katrina, whose face had turned a fiery red. She addressed Alexander again.
“Your family made this mess, so clean it up yourselves! If you told Joyce you'd marry her, then stop pestering
me.”
Alexander's voice, tinged with panic, cut through the tension.
“I promise you, there's no truth to that! Have they been causing you trouble? I'll have my father sort this out
immediately.”
With that, Daniela ended the call.
A mere ten minutes later, Richard arrived, his anxiety palpable. He approached Katrina, his voice laden with
worry.
“What's all the commotion about? We're all reasonable people here; why stir up such a scene?”
Richard, adept at gauging the mood, sensed Daniela’s seething anger. Misinterpreting it as indignation over a
rumored engagement between Alexander and Joyce, a smug satisfaction flickered across his face.
Seizing what he believed to be a chance at redemption, Richard donned a sincere smile and turned to Daniela.
“Daniela, | admit, | mishandled things. I'll make sure Alexander apologizes to you personally. Just leave
everything to me, okay?”
Next, he turned to Katrina, his voice now laced with contempt.
“Katrina, what you're doing is utterly unacceptable. Stop spreading your lies. Everyone here is well aware of
Alexander's integrity. He truly is the finest young man anyone could know. However, his goodness doesn’t give
you the right to push your wayward daughter onto him.”
Katrina wanted to say something, but Richard continued, “Remember this—Alexander has always wanted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela. His loyalty to her has been unwavering. As for Joyce, with her dubious reputation and now expecting a
child, she’s clearly not a suitable match for him.It was Joyce who had disrupted Alexander and Daniela’s wedding
once before. And now, just as they were finding their way back to each other, here you are causing chaos again!
Katrina, the fact that Daniela isn’t your biological daughter doesn’t give you the right to treat her like garbage.
Remember, it was Brylee who took you in. After that, you climbed your way to power by crawling into her
husband's bed.
You're a walking disgrace. If you're determined to continue down this path, don’t cry when Joyce ends up just as
ruined as you. Is that what you're aiming for?”
