Chapter 553:
“It seems you believe I'm completely naive.”
Katrina's brow furrowed.
Alexander continued, “If Joyce was truly unwilling, nobody could have compelled her. Besides, during our
marriage, she showed a clear interest in other rich men.” Katrina's heart missed a beat.
“I hadn't brought it up before because I didn’t think it was important. Our connection never deepened. It wasn’t
Daniela causing issues; it was the marriage itself. We never should have entered into it.”
Upon hearing this, Katrina quickly interjected, “How can you say that? Alexander, | know you don’t mean it.
You're just too angry.”
Alexander, however, refused to listen further.
“I'm clear about my feelings.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKatrina frowned, understanding that sometimes silence was preferable, as speaking certain truths could
irreversibly damage paths back.
This time, however, Alexander was unusually direct.
“During that fire, | saved Joyce instead of Daniela, so you all assumed I harbored feelings for Joyce. If that’s what
you think, I'd rather clarify things now instead of later.”
Katrina attempted to interrupt him, but Alexander persisted bluntly, saying, “I've always been unclear about my
feelings, and now, | deeply regret that.”
Alexander emphasized his regret.
“Given another chance, | would have defended Daniela fiercely. But now, merely glimpsing her feels like a
privilege.”

A profound emptiness washed over Katrina.
She decided not to question whether Alexander's regret stemmed from Daniela’s newfound prominence or from
a realization of his enduring affection for her.
She knew only one thing: the backup plan she had for Joyce was now gone.
Their call had concluded quite stago.
However, Katrina couldn't shake the sound of Alexander's final words echoing in her mind.
“I should have told you earlier that | love Daniela. Regardless of her status today, my love remains unchanged.
Even if she orchestrated my situation with Joyce, | am happy. So, please stop calling me.”
The conversation ended right there.
Despair washed over Katrina as she looked around. At that moment, all her strategies for Joyce were conclusively
ruined.
When Daniela walked into the company the next morning, seeing Alexander there didn’t surprise her. Alexander
was no fool; his success wasn’t based on luck. He could sense something off in Daniela’s behavior.
“Katrina calledyesterday.
You were aware, weren't you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela didn’t attempt to hide it.
“Yes, | knew.”
Alexander experienced a blend of sadness and a hint of happiness.
He was saddened because Daniela had shown him her more ruthless side, which wasn’t typically exposed to
someone she cared about.
Yet, he felt a sense of happiness that Daniela chose to reveal this aspect to him.
Could this mean she trusted him, even slightly?
A small smile appeared on Alexander's face.
