Chapter 316:
But before Katrina could revel in her scheming, Joyce, still tethered to Lillian’s phone, spoke up without raising
her head.
“Mom, you're overcomplicating things. Elite Lux has top-notch lawyers. If Daniela wants, they can draft that
agreement in no time. Why bother with all this fuss?”
Joyce remained fixated on her game, oblivious to Katrina's machinations.
Daniela gave a small smile, and before Katrina could object, she chimed in, “Joyce is correct. Let Elite Lux’s legal
team handle it.”
Katrina stiffened, her features hardening. Elite Lux’s legal team would take over? How could she manipulate the
situation then?
Before storming upstairs, Katrina shot Joyce a venomous glance, who remained blissfully unaware of her

Joyce, meanwhile, was kneeling beside Daniela, grinning like an ardent admirer.
“Daniela, could you granta glowing skin? Please?”
Katrina inhaled sharply, appalled at the scene. Was this really her daughter?
Daniela responded by simply handing over her phone to Joyce. Joyce was stunned.
“You're lettinguse your phone?” Daniela nodded nonchalantly.

“Joyce! What are you doing?”
Katrina had devoted her life to boosting Joyce's status, yet here was her daughter, discarding it all to grovel
before Daniela. It appeared as though she was atoning for sdire transgression.
Katrina felt her sanity slipping away.
As Daniela made her way back to her bedroom, Joyce offered a saccharine smile and cooed, “Sweet dreams,
Daniela.”
Katrina fixed Joyce with an icy stare and declared, “You're coming to the hospital withtomorrow!”
Joyce blinked, taken aback.
“What?”
“We're getting a DNA test!” Katrina declared vehemently.
“I refuse to believe that someone as witless as you could share my blood!”
The house lay wrapped in silence, deep in the clutches of the night.
In the stillness, soft footsteps whispered along the stairs. A gentle knock sounded at the grandest door on the

Daniela swung the door open, her eyes locking with Cedric’s, who lingered in the dimly lit hallway.
“What's up?” she queried.
Cedric clutched a medical kit, his expression a mix of sorrow and slight indignation. He gestured towards
Daniela’s hand.
Following his gesture, Daniela’s eyes fell on the faint red mark marring the back of her hand. Fresh from her
bath, her damp skin made the mark all the more pronounced.
