Chapter 462
Chapter 462:
“Alexander wants to divorce me! He's serious this time!” Her wails echoed throughout the house, reaching every
ear.
Inconsolable, she sobbed, “Mom, what do | do?” Katrina's eyes flicked to Caiden descending the stairs, then
quickly away. Even if Caiden wanted to intervene, the precarious state of Harper Group meant that Alexander
wouldn't take him seriously. Only Daniela could sway him now.
As Daniela appeared, Katrina, bypassing Joyce, pleaded, “Daniela, could you talk to Alexander? Couples have
their disagreements, but if it drags on, it'll lead to divorce.
You have a lot of sway now; could you speak up for us?”
“Are you out of your mind?” Cedric cut in sharply before Daniela could utter a word, his expression chilling.
Lillian, poised to interject, withdrew silently, her heart sinking slightly. It was clear that Daniela no longer

required her guardianship.
Katrina was caught off guard by Cedric’s bluntness.
“What?”
“Your family’s shouldn’t entangle Daniela,” Cedric said coldly.
“Have you even considered the weight of what you're asking her to shoulder?”
Frustration knotted Katrina's brow, and she yearned to retaliate but held back, knowing Cedric was not one to
challenge lightly. Masking her agitation with a strained smile, she ventured, “But what if Daniela herself is open
to stepping in?” Her eyes then sought Daniela, who remained head bowed and declared, “I'll listen to Cedric.”
Katrina's face fell, words failing her as the retort died on her lips. Lillian, rising, felt a sharp pang of discontent.
She had no desire to witness the sugary display that was about to unfold.

Katrina's gaze remained fixed on Daniela.
“Daniela, | know we've had many misunderstandings in the past. That's on me, and I'll take full responsibility.
You can blme all you want, but please, don’t take it out on Joyce. She's still young. Can you help her?
Please?” A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes as she looked at Daniela.
But before Daniela could respond, Cedric’s voice cut through the air.
“Still young? Joyce is an adult, isn’t she? Do you think you can push Daniela around just because you assshe
has no one to defend her? Letmake one thing clear—Daniela has people protecting her. Don’t drag your
family’s mess into her life.”
Katrina opened her mouth to argue, but Cedric didn’t give her the chance.
“Joyce!” he barked.
Joyce emerged from the kitchen, holding a knife, and pointed it toward Katrina's face.
“Yes, Mr. Phillips.”
The blood drained from Katrina's cheeks, leaving her pale and trembling.

In his eyes, they had all lost their minds. All of them!
Seeing no other way, Joyce tried to stall for time.
Maybe the top lawyer from Elite Lux could help craft a strategy. But Cedric wasn’t about to give her that
opportunity.
His patience snapped.
“Don’t cany closer. My tolerance for this nonsense is wearing thin. If you dare take advantage of Daniela
again, I'll buy out Harper Group tomorrow, and you'll find yourself thrown out of this house.”
His words hit like a sledgehammer, and Katrina, consumed by fear, grabbed Joyce's arm and dragged her away.
