Chapter 386:
Richard remained irked. Just yesterday, he had dreamt of Daniela enriching their family with her wealth and
status. Now, those dreams were pinned on Joyce.
“And what about Daniela? Are you simply going to write her off?”
“Dad, drop it. She’s history. I'm moving forward with Joyce. Daniela and | are done.”
Richard’s dreams of wealth shattered in an instant. He let out a heavy, defeated sigh.
“I just hope you don’t cto regret this.” That struck a nerve.
Alexander's calm demeanor cracked.
“Regret? It should be Daniela filled with regret! | swallowed my pride to make peace, yet she chose Cedric over
me. She’s dead tonow, and | don’t want to hear her nagain!”
Richard sighed once more.

The wedding was hastily arranged.
In their social circles, weddings required elaborate planning well in advance.
Katrina fretted over potential hitches before the big day.
Caiden was keen to secure the financial perks tied to the union.
Despite his bitterness toward Daniela, Alexander was determined to prove he could move on by marrying Joyce
next month. Everyone had their own motives.
The only beacon of genuine happiness was Joyce, buoyed by the belief that her love with Alexander was both

Word of the Harper and Bennett families’ alliance spread through Olisvine like wildfire. Soon, every tongue in the
city was wagging about Joyce and Alexander's impending nuptials.
The social elite were abuzz, their discussions a fiery mix of gossip and speculation.
Joyce, radiant with anticipation, dived into the online comments, expecting a cascade of blessings and
congratulatory messages. Instead, the harsh reality of public opinion shattered her buoyant mood.
“Joyce is marrying Alexander? Can my eyes be deceiving me?”
“No deception here. Both Harper Group and Bennett Group have broadcasted it on their websites. The wedding’s
scheduled for the end of next month.”
“Alexander's decisions are a riddle wrapped in a mystery. He divorced Daniela only to marry her stepsister? What
a tangle.”
“Has Alexander lost his marbles? Trading Daniela for Joyce seems like a poor swap!”
“The lot of you are missing the point. Weak men choose partners they think they can dominate. Daniela is too
much of a titan for Alexander—he probably feels dwarfed by her. Joyce, on the other hand, is cut from the same
cloth as her mother. Both are completely dependent on their men—a type far easier to sway.”
“Remember, Joyce comes with a child already in tow. Alexander's standards can’t be very high, can they?”
“It’s clear as day, isn’t it? She must be bringing a hefty dowry. With enough money on the line, the Bennett

Joyce's face flushed a deep crimson as she scrolled through the comments. In a fit of rage, she slammed her
laptop to the floor. Her fists clenched, her eyes aflwith cold anger.
Why?
Why was she seen as lesser compared to Daniela?
