NovelEnglishChapter 601:
Joyce didn’t have the energy to deal with Erika.
Standing off to the side, Erika threw a quick glance at Joyce before quietly slipping one of her expensive scarves
into her bag.
Joyce noticed but chose to ignore it, finding it too trivial to care about.
Wearing a sickly-sweet smile, Erika chirped, “So, when are you going to pull the reins tighter on Bennett Group?”
Without much interest, Joyce replied, “When the moment's right. There's no rush—just wait.”
When Joyce had first approached Erika to set up an introduction to Marvin, Erika had demanded a company. In a
sprawling city like Olisvine, Erika had her sights set on Alexander's business.
Buying it outright wasn’t an option since Alexander would never let it go willingly. So, Erika’s gwas patience,
waiting for the moment his defenses crumbled.

Joyce's expression turned icy.
Realizing she might've crossed a line, Erika let out a nervous laugh.
“Oh, forget | said that.
You divorced him because he’s cold and detached. No way you'd go back to that. Besides, he’s still hung up on

“Get out. | gave you my word, and I'll deliver. Just stay out of my hair until then.”
Erika chuckled awkwardly and left, but not without snagging an antique vase on her way out.
Joyce tossed her phone aside, no longer interested in her game.
She stared at the stark white ceiling, her lips curling into a bitter smile.
With the kind of money she had, why would she settle for Alexander?
Meanwhile, Katrina was anxiously checking her account, waiting for the funds to arrive. But her balance
remained unchanged.
Frustrated, she crossed the street, her mind distracted, when a speeding car churtling towards her.
Frozen in fear, Katrina couldn't move. Her thoughts went blank, and her legs felt like they were glued to the
ground. As the car drew closer, her eyes widened, breaths coming quick and shallow.
At the very last second, a powerful hand yanked her backward.
She stumbled, nearly losing her footing.
A split second later, the car zipped past, narrowly missing her by mere inches.
Katrina's breath hitched in her chest. For several moments, her mind refused to catch up with what had just
happened.
With trembling hands, she turned to glare at the retreating white car.

The other party wanted her gone.
The realization was too much to bear, and before she could even turn to see who had saved her, her vision
blurred, and she collapsed into unconsciousness.
Standing over Katrina's unconscious body, Lillian stared blankly before pulling out her phone.
“Daniela, she fainted. What now?”
