Chapter 274:
A wave of panic surged through Caiden. He had gambled on her ignorance of Harper Group's precarious
situation. He silently prayed she didn’t realize that the twenty percent stake was merely worth five million
dollars. Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.
“Twenty percent? You think that’s sufficient?” Daniela’s voice cut through the air, sharp as a knife.
“Or are you implying that the life of a child is worth merely a few million?”
Caiden’s heart raced, skipping a beat at her words.
“If you insist on playing these games, I'm not particularly bothered, but | doubt the child can afford to wait,”
Daniela continued calmly, her voice steady yet chilling.

Caiden found himself gasping for air, his breath catching in his throat.
“Fine, let's not complicate things unnecessarily,” Daniela declared evenly.
“Ill demand fifty-one percent of Harper Group's shares. Agree, and the child lives. Otherwise, you're merely
wasting my there.”
It dawned on Caiden that Daniela was after true control of Harper Group.
“Deal,” he choked out, the word tasting of bile in his mouth. His eyes smoldered with deep resentment.
Lillian shook her head, her expression one of bewilderment.
“Why not demand everything? They'd probably yield if you pressed them further.”

Reclining in her chair, Daniela narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
“Perhaps. But I've just had a change of heart.”
Daniela’s phone vibrated, announcing a video message from Ryan.
In the footage, Katrina lingered near the bathroom entrance, gripping her smartphone. She whispered into the
device, “Mom, I'm doing everything | can to handle this mess, but if Caiden’s decided to sell the company,
there’s nothing more | can do.”
The reply from the other end was muffled and indecipherable.
Katrina's expression contorted with vexation as she retorted, “Doesn't that just prove Brylee had it coming?
Damn it, | should've listened to you and finished her off back then. Now she’s becan immense threat.”
Suddenly, Katrina stiffened, her eyes flickering anxiously towards the security camera overhead. Then, she
terminated the call, smoothed down her dress, and strode off.
Seated in her office, Daniela clutched a pen so fiercely her knuckles blanched.

Katrina's mother had been dead for years, hadn't she? What could Katrina possibly mean by those ominous
words?
Meanwhile, Caiden returned to the hospital bearing the new medication. Remarkably, the child becthe first
in the nation to show clinical improvement with this treatment, sidestepping the need for surgical intervention.
The medical team buzzed with excitement, eager to document this breakthrough and glean insights that might
benefit others facing similar predicaments.
Caiden dismissively rejected the pleas from parents with sick children. His face twisted into a sharp, disdainful
sneer as he snapped, “This is the health we paid for! Fund it yourselves! Why should you benefit from our child's
plight? Dream on! Our child is a treasure, not a public spectacle!”
Outside the hospital room, desperate patients begged for assistance, but Caiden strode past them, utterly
indifferent to their suffering.
In his eyes, his own interests always took precedence.
Elsewhere in the hospital, Alexander was recovering from a skin graft surgery when he overheard a news
broadcast. Richard, his eyes wide with astonishment, gestured towards the television.
“300 million for a single pill? That's astounding!”
