Chapter 411
Chapter 411:
Her words sliced through the air, a testament to Joyce's cruel precision in delivering verbal blows.
From the top of the staircase, Katrina observed the scene, her brow furrowed. Her eyes caught Daniela’s fleeting,
mysterious smile.
For reasons she couldn't quite understand, Katrina's heart skipped a beat. A chilling thought suddenly crossed
her mind, one she hadn't considered before, but now couldn’t push aside.
Katrina wondered if Daniela gave the shares to Joyce because Caiden knelt before her. Was Daniela really this
soft-hearted? Katrina knew she would never get the truth from Daniela.
Later that evening, Cedric asked Daniela the sthing. Once Katrina and the maids had gone to bed, it was
just Cedric and Daniela left in the living room. It was then that he asked, “You had this all planned out, didn’t
you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wasn’t a question, but more of a statement.
Daniela was going over financial reports from one of the branch offices. She shot Cedric a brief look before
offering a small smile.
“Yes,” she confirmed.
“You knew Joyce would lose it and reveal her true colors?” Cedric pressed.
Without looking up from the reports, Daniela replied, “Yes. Joyce has always been stubborn and arrogant—she
just knew how to mask it. Back when she was chasing after Alexander, she played the part. But now that she has
what she wants, along with the shares | gave her, her true nature was bound to surface.”
Cedric gave a slight nod. He had already figured that much out.
“But that can’t be all of it, right?” he pressed, sensing there was more to the story.

Daniela and Joyce were worlds apart now. There was no reason for Daniela to get involved with Joyce, let alone
go through the trouble of scheming. But somehow, she had done exactly that.
“Why, though?” Cedric asked again.
Daniela placed the tablet down carefully, letting out a soft sigh before meeting Cedric’s gaze.
“Cedric, has anyone ever told you that being too clever can make you less charming?”
Normally, Cedric would have laughed at such a remark. But this time, something felt different. He stared into her
eyes, repeating his question with unyielding resolve.
“Why?” This was the second the had asked her.
Daniela pursed her lips, pausing for a beat before speaking.
“One day, you'll understand, but not right now. | don’t want to deceive you, so I'm asking for your trust. Please
letkeep this to myself for now. Can you do that?”
Cedric wasn't ready to back down just yet. He still couldn't grasp the full extent of her reasoning, but he knew it
wasn't as simple as it seemed. Whatever had pushed Daniela to cback to this villa and relinquish shares
worth a fortune was something significant. There was no way it had anything to do with Alexander.
Cedric had the distinct feeling he was on the verge of discovering the truth, yet the truth slipped through his

with Daniela’s carefully laid plans.
“Promise me—no matter what your plan is, no matter what you're trying to achieve, you will never put yourself
in danger. Not now, not ever.”
Daniela looked him in the eye and nodded.
