Chapter 505:
Katrina scoffed bitterly.
“I don’t have that kind of money. What do you wantto do, sell myself?”
At this, Joyce's expression hardened, and her eyes grew icy.
“Mom, must you stand in the way of my success? What's happened to you? You've changed, and it breaks my
heart.”
Katrina was so enraged that she was speechless. Joyce stared defiantly at her mother, her voice cold and
detached.
“Fine. Don’t cto regret this.” With those words, Joyce stormed out.
Later that day, Joyce becthe subject of viral videos across all platforms. Her appearance was disheveled,
her expression haggard, and her confessions shocking. She openly admitted to infidelity and blamed herself for

She even branded herself a whore in front of the cameras.

relatives flooded in.

decision as final as when he had disowned Daniela.
Katrina collapsed onto the couch, unable to utter a word for three long days and nights.
The once poised woman, always impeccably dressed, now seemed drained of life, her face etched with
premature lines, gray hairs emerging one by one.
One morning, as Cedric descended the stairs, Katrina's weary eyes lifted to meet his. She pleaded, “Please,
Cedric, save Joyce. If no one helps her, her life will be ruined forever!”
Cedric paused on the staircase, his gaze icy and distant.
“When Daniela was left to fend for herself, did any of you consider stepping in to save her? Joyce still has your

Without another word, Cedric’s stoic mask returned as he turned and disappeared into his room.
