Chapter 321:
Everyone at the table, except for Joyce, understood her underlying message.
Katrina had just proposed a marriage alliance.
Richard lowered his gaze, clearly unsettled.
Alexander, however, kept his expression blank.
“I want nothing to do with Daniela. That's never going to happen.”
Katrina chuckled lightly, her composure unshaken.
“Who said anything about Daniela? | was talking about Joyce.
You and she grew up together. It would be such a waste if the two of you didn’t end up together.”
Alexander opened his mouth to refuse, but Katrina stopped him with a well-timed, disarming smile.

Young people these days don’t waste any time. For all we know, she might already be expecting.
You don’t want to fall too far behind her, do you?”
Her gaze stayed fixed on him, studying his every movement with calculated precision. She searched for any sign
of unease or hesitation, knowing that even the smallest crack in his composure would be a victory.
What she got, however, was far beyond what she had anticipated.

Alexander's hand froze mid-motion, the knife he was holding suspended in his grip.
His pupils narrowed, and an icy storm of emotions flickered in his eyes—confusion, resentment, and something
far darker.
Under the harsh glow of the chandelier, his gaze locked with hers. He parted his lips as though to say something,
but the words never came. Instead, he lowered the knife to the table, his expression drained of warmth.
The rest of the dinner passed in tense silence.
Katrina leaned towards Alexander before stepping into her car.
“Alexander, it doesn’t matter whether it's Daniela or Joyce. Marrying into the Harper family is all the same. If
Cedric can make himself at hwith us, so can you—especially given your history with Joyce. Take your tto
think it over, and letknow.”
Her tone was calm, yet her words carried a quiet authority that left little room for argument.
That momentary crack in Alexander's composure gave Katrina all the confidence she needed.
She was certain he would caround—whether because he still carried feelings for Daniela or because his
pride wouldn't let him walk away entirely.
On the drive home, Caiden finally broke the silence.
“You said Joyce and Daniela are alike. Do you really believe that? Do you think Alexander will agree to this?”
Katrina's expression darkened, and her voice turned sharp.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What exactly are you suggesting? Do you think Joyce is somehow inferior to Daniela? Is there a reason marrying
Joyce would be such an impossible idea? What are you trying to say?”
Katrina knew Joyce better than anyone, but she still defended her daughter fiercely.
“Just wait. Alexander and Richard will call us soon enough.”
In her mind, Alexander's personal feelings didn’t matter. The only thing that counted was ensuring Joyce married
him. There was no way she would allow her daughter to live a life that paled in comparison to Daniela’s.
“And if Alexander refuses?” Caiden asked.
