Chapter 414:
Once the meal concluded, Caiden gathered his courage. His voice barely above a whisper, he addressed her.
“Thank you.”
Daniela turned her gaze toward Caiden.
“There's no need for thanks. How did you find the meal?”
Caiden offered a sincere reply.
“It was really delicious.”
A subtle nod cfrom Daniela.
“I'm pleased to hear that. Although we aren’t close personally, you're always welcto dine here. Just so
you're aware, the meal here is $1,000 per person. How would you like to handle the payment? Cash, card, or
would you prefer to settle up at month's end?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaiden was rooted to the spot, his voice lost to surprise. With a sly smile, Daniela went on, “Whichever method
you choose, payment is due. If paying per meal suits you, Josie will take care of it. Please understand, | don’t
offer credit here. After all, supporting someone else’s father isn't my responsibility, is it?”
With those words, she turned on her heel and departed, leaving Caiden to grapple with a mix of embarrassment
and frustration. Once Daniela had taken a shower, she headed down the stairs, only to be greeted by Josie, who
was grumbling over Caiden’s failure to pay and his bold excuse of being broke.
From across the room, Daniela’s eyes flicked towards Caiden before she pulled out her phone and sent a quick
message to Katrina.
Thirty minutes later, Katrina returned, storming through the door. She fixed Caiden with a withering look before
scolding him.
“Uninvited, you impose yourself at Daniela’s dinner table. Humiliated for a mere meal, how do you justify that?
Serves you right! Caiden, you're not a young man anymore. How could you let her humiliate you just for the sake
of a meal? If she were willing to give you her attention, that would be one thing. But she doesn’t care about you,
yet you still think there’s slingering father-daughter connection between you? It’s absurd! Can't you see the
truth, Caiden? She no longer sees you as her father. She textedin the middle of the night to settle your bill,
threatening to cut Joyce's shares in the robotics company if | don’t. If you're so troubled that you're dragging
your daughter into your mess, why not take the spath as Brylee? Spare others the pain!”

Having vented her frustration, Katrina angrily sent a thousand to Josie, grabbed her suitcase, and ascended the
stairs, leaving Caiden standing there, nothing more than a cold, unfeeling silhouette.
From the living room, Daniela turned to Caiden with a smirk.
“Do you remember how my mother died?”
Caiden’s face turned pale at her question. He ran upstairs, his footsteps erratic, almost tripping over as he
ascended.
Life for Caiden grew more suffocating from that day forward. With Katrina's return, their relationship deteriorated
further; she found him increasingly unbearable, and her verbal assaults intensified.

Group. He then begged Daniela to transfer the profits from these deals to his account.
Subsequently, Caiden ventured into business independently. After several initial setbacks, he finally secured
scontracts through Cedric.
Having never encountered significant professional obstacles in his earlier years, Caiden now faced them head-
on. Often returning hintoxicated from networking events, he found the bedroom locked by Katrina and
resigned himself to sleeping on the sofa.
