Chapter 368:
“I didn’t mean it like that. | just meant for you to contribute the cash, nothing more. Not to bring in any
investment funds.”
Daniela’s reply was laced with a biting edge.
“Ah, so you expect something for nothing?” Her words struck a sharp chord.
The truth in her statement was harsh but inescapable. Caiden’s lips tightened, and he found himself
momentarily speechless.
Katrina's expression shifted from a frown to a look of understanding. She tried to smooth things over.
“Daniela, you're misunderstanding your father. We never intended to exploit you. It's just that our business has
been struggling, and profits are down.

Your father wanted to secure dowries for you and Joyce, but his investments backfired. Now, our finances are in
ruins. We've resorted to eating potatoes daily. Joyce and | are accustomed to living modestly, but your father,
having been pampered all his life, finds this lifestyle unbearable.
You might not hold much love for Joyce and me, but Caiden is your father by blood.
You wouldn't want to see him suffer, would you? We're family, after all. Why should there be any boundaries
among us?
By investing in Harper Group, you'd be supporting your father. Doesn't that make sense to you?”
From the sidelines, Cedric’s frown deepened as he listened. His voice was icy as he cut in, “So what is it really—
an investment, or just financial support for the family?”
It was blatantly obvious this was just a schto extort money by exploiting Caiden’s predicament.

Caiden, still a relatively young man, was already entangled in conversations about support payments.
Katrina was poised to interject, but Daniela cut her off.
“I recall you formally ended our father-daughter relationship. So, why are we discussing support now?”
The memory of the slap Caiden had delivered to Daniela lingered vividly in her mind.
It was astonishing that he dared to seek financial aid after everything.
Caiden was filled with profound regret.
If only he had foreseen these circumstances, he would have never let go of his paternal bond with Daniela!
Now, stripped of any justification, he shot Katrina a look filled with frustration and silent accusation.
As the family unfolded before her, Daniela remained disinterested in further debate. She stated plainly,
“I'm sticking to my original stance.

Yes, | can provide the funds. Consider it either an investment or a loan. Should it be a loan, | expect monthly
repayments—no exceptions. I'm exhausted; letknow your decision.”
With those words, Daniela retreated upstairs.
Caiden’s voice, steeped in irritation, resonated through the room after her departure.
“See, | warned you about pushing too hard. Daniela has the means and the willingness to help, yet she has no
obligation to. She's not my legal daughter anymore. This mess is on you. If only | had known, | would have never
agreed to your plan. One mistake just leads to another.”
Katrina vented her frustration, lamenting, “How could | have guessed Daniela would turn out to be so adept?
You're her father, and yet, you pale in comparison to her. She's amassing wealth, while what do we have? Day
after day, you leaveand Joyce surviving on nothing but potatoes. Doesn't that embarrass you? Even poor
Jack has to endure this misery with us!”
Caiden noticed Cedric hadn't left the room. His gaze was sardonic, his demeanor detached and frosty.
