Chapter 370:
Joyce broke the silence.
“I agree to marry Alexander. I'm tired of scraping by here. Just the other day, | was out with friends and couldn't
afford a thing. They ridiculed me. If | married Alexander, | wouldn't have to endure this humiliation.”
Katrina attempted to soothe her.
“Joyce, just a little longer. Daniela’s taking the reins of Harper Group; she won't let it sink. Once we stabilize,
you'll have the wedding you deserve.”
But Joyce's mind was made up, and her decision to join the Bennett family was unwavering.
She stormed upstairs, her displeasure clear, leaving Katrina to exhale in frustration before turning back to
Caiden.

“Let’s give it stime.”
Caiden shrugged.
“Fine. She’s your daughter. If you prefer to wait, then we wait. But if Daniela doesn’t turn this around, soon there
won't even be a shell of a company left. That will make Joyce’s prospects with the Bennett family even slimmer.”
Katrina clenched her fists, whispering sternly, “Just a bit longer.”
Meanwhile, Daniela’s robotics company was unveiling its latest innovations at a grand launch event.
The facility buzzed with the showcase of fully automated systems.

Richard was visibly awestruck by this modern tide of technological prowess.
Among the exhibits was an advanced domestic robot that left the crowd spellbound. Richard was eager to
acquire one, but the staff explained it was still undergoing trial phases, reserved only for selected VIPs. Richard
wasn't on that list. One of Richard's acquaintances had snagged a trial unit. Noticing Richard and Alexander,
Trevor Greville beckoned them over.
The robot, matching a human in height, was a marvel of engineering, equipped to cook, clean, and even tutor
children. It could engage in games like chess. Its versatility was simply astounding.
“This is revolutionary,” Trevor exclaimed, admiring the machine.
“Crafted from steel yet capable of managing myriad tasks. | hear it can even conduct basic health diagnostics.”
He glanced at Richard, noticing his somber expression, and inquired, “With your family’s clout in this city, you
didn’t receive a trial model?”
Richard compressed his lips, casting a longing glance at the robot.
“No.”
Trevor nodded.
“That's unfortunate. Had Alexander stayed married to Daniela, your doorstep would probably be swamped with

Trevor sighed.
“Wasn't there talk that Alexander was seeing Joyce? Are they engaged? Planning to marry?”
Richard managed a rueful smile.
“They're not engaged. Just dating.”
Trevor shook his head.
“Richard, we groom our successors to uphold and fortify our legacies. Severing ties with Daniela was a grave
error. Joyce doesn’t hold a candle to Daniela, not in looks, not in brains, not in grace. Caiden might dote on Joyce,
but is she really suitable marriage material? Today’s youth might be liberal, but have you seen anyone rise to
prominence with a past like Joyce's? She got pregnant without even knowing the father. What does that say
about her judgment? That's just lacking discernment. If you welcsomeone like that into your family, do you
honestly think you'll find peace?”
Richard was already consumed by regret.
