Chapter 334:
Caiden gasped, his eyes reddening as he bit back a cry of pain. His face twisted into a forced expression of
regret.
“Daniela, you've done so well for yourself now. Do you really need to make a fuss over this small amount with
your father?”
Daniela’s lips curled into a smile.
“You're wrong. This is the company’s money, not mine. Everything that was taken needs to be returned, in full.”
Caiden gritted his teeth, the sound of his jaw grinding clearly audible.
“And what do you expectto do about it? | don’t have the money! Even if you beatsenseless, | can’t pay
that much. So, what's next? Go ahead, call the police, and havearrested!” He crossed his arms and leaned
back, his posture full of defiance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLillian couldn’t stay quiet any longer and raised her hand.
“Hey! You stole from the company, and now you're acting all high and mighty? What's with that attitude?”
Caiden rolled his eyes tically.
“Yeah, this is how | am. What are you going to do about it?”
“Oh, so now you're not going to return the money?” Daniela held a small fruit knife in her hand. The back of her
hand was wrapped in a bandage, one Cedric had carefully put on earlier that morning.
She flicked the knife casually, and its small blade shimmered in the light. Caiden’s heart raced.

“Alright. There's a way out.”
A slight smile tugged at her lips, her dimples softly appearing on her cheeks. She appeared innocent, almost like
a harmless college student. For a brief moment, Caiden felt his tension ease—until her next words struck him like
a blow.
“I'll offer you three choices. First, treat the money as Joyce's final dowry payment. From now on, she’s
considered married off, and she won't claim a single cent of the family’s fortune.”
Katrina jumped up from her seat, her face burning with fury.
“No chance!”
True, the Harper family was in decline. But they still possessed more wealth than most. Besides, with Daniela
running the business now, who could say Harper Group wouldn't bounce back and reclaim its fortune? Two
hundred million, and cutting off Joyce completely? That was simply unthinkable!
Daniela nodded without a hint of hesitation.
“Okay, then here's the second option. Use Caiden’s shares in the company to settle the debt. I'm not asking for
anything more—just givehis shares, and we'll consider it settled.”
Caiden shook his head firmly this time.
“That's impossible!”
Daniela nodded once more, her smile unwavering.
Caiden asked, “What's the third option?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniela slowly lifted her gaze to meet his. Her eyes held something—sharp, cold, and unyielding. It made Caiden
feel as though the very air around him had frozen.
Daniela didn’t break eye contact as she spoke again.
“If you can’t accept one of the first two choices, then | hope you're ready for jail.”
Caiden’s fury surged, and he was about to shout, ready to accuse her of being ungrateful and disrespectful. But
before a word could escape his lips, a cold, shiny object appeared in front of him. In one quick, graceful
movement, Daniela lifted the fruit knife and drove it straight into the watermelon on the fruit platter.
