Chapter 326:
Katrina observed Alexander, her smile widening as she lounged comfortably, nibbling on a snack, thoroughly
entertained by the unfolding .
For her, it was inconsequential whether Alexander wound up with Joyce or not.
Her true intent was simply to agitate everyone involved.
Daniela had relished her triumphs for far too long, and Katrina was eager to watch her wrestle with her
emotions, torn and indecisive.
Cedric or Alexander? The choice was anything but simple—one embodied a love from her past, while the other
was her unwavering confidant.
Regardless of Daniela’s choice, one would inevitably feel the sting of rejection, and even the chosen one might
begin to harbor doubts and mistrust over time.

Katrina relished the thought of shattering Daniela’s seemingly flawless existence.
“Oh my,” Katrina exclaimed, her tone oozing with feigned concern as she ushered Alexander into the room.
“Alexander, it seems you've had a bit too much to drink. What could have possibly brought you here so late, and
in that condition? It must be serious!”
Katrina turned to Daniela with a layer of mock sincerity thick in her voice.
