Chapter 433:
The living room was full of people—Caiden, Daniela, Cedric, Ryan, Lillian, Shirley. They were all watching, but no
one intervened.
Slowly, the maid that Daniela had brought in opened the door.
Katrina was determined to defend Joyce, but she knew better than to confront Alexander on her own. Venturing
into the Bennett family’s territory uninvited would be a recipe for disaster.
“Will you accompanyto the Bennett family’s?” Katrina asked.
Caiden’s attention remained glued to the television in the living room, his response laced with derision.
“Me? Why on earth would I? Who am | to you?”
Katrina's eyes widened, her voice tinged with incredulity.

“Am |, though?” Caiden retorted.
“When you need me, I'm Joyce's father, but when everything's fine, I'm nobody. No, | can’t play this part-time
father role any longer!”
Katrina, her frustration mounting, stepped closer.
“What are you saying, Caiden? How can you call yourself nobody?”
Nearby, Cedric, sensing the tension rising, instinctively drew Daniela closer to protect her. Daniela, previously
absorbed in the unfolding scene, felt Cedric’s pull and complied without question.
Ryan munched on popcorn, seemingly uninterested in Katrina's yet intrigued by the interaction between
Cedric and Daniela.

Katrina continued to plead her case, but Caiden’s patience had frayed to its end.
“Oh, really? Have you forgotten your own words? You were the one who toldto turn to Daniela in times of
crisis, that she was my true daughter, and not to drag Joyce into anything. Remember how Joyce didn’t even visit
“You...” Katrina stuttered, lost for words, overwhelmed by the ghosts of past arguments. She had thought that
once Joyce was married, she could sever her reliance on Caiden, never anticipating a day like this. If only she
had known, she would have fostered a stronger bond with him.
“Joyce is just a child. Why hold a grudge against her?”
“Really? Is Joyce a child? How old is she now, still playing the child? She's a married woman with a child of her
own, yet still immature? Perhaps what she really needs is a lesson in maturity. And weren't you being so arrogant
a few days ago? If | hadn't kept my cool, I'd have died of rage by now!”
Tears began to stream down Katrina's cheeks.
“What are you implying? Are you leaving us now? I'm still your wife!”
Caiden rose from his seat, his face a mask of indifference.

remain here, she may too. But if you're considering divorce, take Joyce with you. There's no room for either of
you here.”
Katrina's face crumpled with despair at his words. Perhaps she hadn't expected Caiden to say such things, or she
hadn’t expected to be at a disadvantage.
Cedric leaned over and whispered to Daniela, “When did Caiden get so clear-headed?”
Daniela shook her head.
