Chapter 497:
Richard remained in the living room, his resolve unwavering, waiting for Alexander to return with positive news.
Meanwhile, Alexander was driving fast. Daniela was on the balcony, her dress and hair fluttering wildly in the
wind. Katrina sat in a nearby chair, observing Daniela with an icy stare.
“Daniela, you previously assisted by holding back Joyce's dividends, so perhaps | owe you thanks.
Yet, you are too adept, reminiscent of Brylee—calm, skilled in finance, just like your mother.
Your mother and | were once close. | suggested subtly that she should leave Caiden, but her pride made her cling
to him, leavingno choice but to eliminate her. It was not my intention to end her life. She sealed her fate by
choosing the wrong man. Now, here you are, repeating her errors. Why did you choose to divorce Alexander?
Would it not have been simpler to remain with him? If you hadn't divorced him, he wouldn't have pursued Joyce,

Glancing at the clock, Katrina noted there was still half an hour before Daniela would need to obey Johan's
directive to jump. She needed to leave to establish an alibi. Offering Daniela a faint smile, she murmured,

Alexander and, eventually, Caiden would also meet their ends at her hands.
Katrina chuckled softly as she prepared to leave.
“Daniela!” Just then, a voice called out from below, startling her.

Startled, Katrina hurried back to the edge of the balcony and looked down. It was Alexander.

at Daniela, who appeared still dazed.
Katrina attempted to descend, but as she opened the rooftop door, Alexander was already ascending. Upon
seeing Katrina as well, Alexander bit back the words he was about to say to Daniela.
“Katrina, what are you doing on the rooftop?”
He then looked toward Daniela, who had her back turned to him.
“Daniela?” Alexander called again.
At the sound of his voice, Daniela seemed to ease slightly. Alexander quickly moved to stand in front of her. He
noticed clarity in her eyes momentarily, as if she were snapping out of a trance.
Frowning, he grabbed her arm and turned toward Katrina.
“What happened to Daniela?” His voice carried a tone of suspicion, almost as if he were interrogating Katrina.
For a brief moment, Katrina's mind went blank. She worried she had accidentally revealed too much. She
nervously clasped her hands together, her eyes darting around in panic.
Alexander's scrutiny intensified as he watched Katrina avoid his gaze, her face reddening with an unmistakable

“What were you doing just now?” he demanded, his voice sharpening with suspicion.
Katrina felt the weight of his piercing stare and for a brief moment, she felt utterly cornered. Just as she was
about to answer, she saw Daniela’s hand slip from Alexander's. Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly turned
her attention to Daniela, whose face seemed distant.
“Were you feeling unwell just now?” Alexander's voice softened, but his concern was still evident.
