Chapter 70:
Katrina gave a warm smile and patted Joyce on the head.
“Have you decided what you really want? Is it Alexander or Cedric this time?” Joyce's cheeks flushed pink, and
she ducked her head with a shy smile.
“Before, it was Alexander.”
Katrina's smile deepened, understanding instantly.
“Your ambition is admirable, and that’s a great thing. Cedric is a catch—I'd love to see him as my son-in-law. But
listen, don’t toss Alexander aside just yet. Life is unpredictable, and you should always keep a safety net. If
things go south, you'll still have options. Do you get what I'm saying?”
Joyce's face lit up, and she nodded eagerly.
Katrina continued, her tone calm but decisive.

them over, who cares? Once you have Cedric, you'll have everything you could ever need. When you were born,
| had your fortune read, remember? My love, you're fated to marry into wealth.
Your life is meant to be dripping in luxury.”
Joyce's spirits soared at her mother’s words, and she threw her arms around Katrina.
“But, Mom, what am | supposed to do? Cedric barely notices me.”
Katrina smiled indulgently, tucking a stray strand of hair behind Joyce's ear.

“I've kept your father under my thumb for years. All you need is the right move, and | guarantee Cedric won't be
able to say no.” Katrina leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper as she shared a few secretive words.
Joyce's eyes widened in surprise, and her cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink.
Once her chat with Joyce was done, Katrina wandered into the living room and lounged against Caiden’s chest.
“Caiden, | was just having a chat with Joyce. | told her that if Daniela doesn’t want to hand over those floors, it’s
okay. At the end of the day, we're family, and it’s not worth upsetting the peace over something so small.”
Caiden, his eyes glued to the financial news on the TV, absentmindedly ran his hand over Katrina's cheek.
“You're the reasonable one. Not like that worthless brat, Daniela.”
Katrina's lips curved into a smug smile, hidden from Caiden’s view. Resting her hand lightly on his chest, she
spoke in a soft, affectionate voice.
“Joyce is a grown woman now. Don’t you think it's about twe found her a suitable match? If she marries
soon, she could start growing our family right away.”
Caiden looked down at Katrina when he heard this. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes shining with love and
care.
Swayed by her gentle words and devoted look, Caiden pulled her closer into his embrace. Katrina's lips curled
into a slow, victorious smile. Winning over men cas naturally to her as breathing.
As Caiden leaned in, Katrina's voice broke the moment.
“Cedric would be a perfect match for Joyce.”

“What did you just say?”
As soon as Katrina spoke Cedric’s name, a chill ran down Caiden’s spine, his body stiffening instinctively. The
familiar wave of dread and pressure flooded him, quickly sweeping away any thoughts or desires he'd felt just
moments ago.
“Who did you just say?” Caiden’s voice was full of disbelief as he stared at Katrina.
