Chapter 319:
When the Bennetts arrived, Katrina welcomed them warmly. She engaged them in conversation with a practiced
ease that gave no hint of the financial difficulties the Harpers faced under Daniela’s influence.
Her smile didn’t waver as she said, “No matter what, Daniela will always be part of the Harper family. She's
accomplished so much, and we couldn’t be prouder of her. Just the other day, she was telling us that Caiden
shouldn't push himself too hard with his work. She's taken over the company to give him a break, and now all we
have to do is enjoy the benefits. If there's one thing she does exceptionally well, it’s making money. | think we
can all agree on that.”
Katrina's words painted Daniela as the perfect daughter, effortlessly erasing past grievances. It was as though
the conflicts of the past had never existed.
“Is that really the way things are?” Richard raised an eyebrow as his gaze shifted between Katrina and Caiden,

“Absolutely,” Katrina replied, her voice steady and composed.
“We're a family, after all. Holding grudges doesn’t make sense. Whatever happened in the past, Daniela is still
our daughter. She’s even moved back in with us. If that doesn’t prove where we stand, | don’t know what does.”
Richard's expression was unreadable, but his eyes lingered on Alexander for a moment.
Alexander remarked casually, “So, is this dinner about her? If it is, I'm not interested. I've already divorced
Daniela, and what she does now is no concern of mine. Let's move on to another topic.”
Katrina's smile didn’t falter. With practiced charm, she steered the conversation towards lighter topics.

As she spoke, she turned her attention to Joyce. She placed sfood on her plate and said gently, “Joyce,
sweetheart, all you ever seem to do is play games. Why don’t you take a break and eat something?” Her tone
was filled with warmth, though the word “games” carried a pointed emphasis.
Alexander's expression darkened, the change in his demeanor subtle but unmistakable.
Katrina caught the shift immediately and smiled inwardly. Moments later, Richard leaned forward and asked,
“What's this gJoyce is so invested in? She hasn't looked up once.”
Joyce perked up at the mention of her game. Still glued to her phone, she beamed and replied, “It’s called
Shadow Strike! It's amazing!”
Her excitement bubbled over as she held up her phone for everyone to see.
“Look at this! Daniela gavetwo exclusive skins. They're super rare! | can’t believe how lucky | am to have a
sister like her!”
Her voice carried across the table, brimming with enthusiasm and pride.
Katrina's smile faltered. Her expression tightened, revealing an awkward tension she couldn't fully mask.
She looked like she wanted to say something, but with the Bennetts seated across from her, she remained silent.
Two rare skins, and now she called Daniela her sister?
The room seemed smaller to Katrina. The air felt heavier, as if it was pressing down on her chest.
Richard exchanged a quick glance with Alexander before turning back to Joyce. His tone was measured, but his

“Daniela gave you rare skins?”
As someone who had been part of a gaming empire, Richard understood that rare skins weren't just expensive—
they were a symbol of insider privilege.
Unease settled over him like a dark cloud.
