Chapter 402:
Katrina's voice was unshakeable, and no one dared to make a move.
The leader of the group stepped forward, a hesitant smile stuck to his face.
“No, no, we didn’t mean it like that. We chere today to meet Daniela. It’s all just a misunderstanding.
Nobody actually wants to take anything back. Please, calm down—there’s no need to get upset.”
Katrina let out a cold snort, but she wasn’t about to let it go that easily.
Her intense gaze fixed on the man, and she leaned in just enough to intimidate him.
“Weren't you the one making the most noise earlier? What's your name, and which company do you represent?”
The man lowered his head and offered an apologetic smile. Just as the group was about to retreat back to their
seats, every phone in the room vibrated with a notification.
As the guests bowed their heads to glance at their smartphones, an ominous chill swept through Caiden, sinking

An intense sense of foreboding engulfed him, his heartbeat escalating into a wild thump. His hand, previously
relaxed at his side, now quivered subtly.
He resisted the urge to look at the notification that had captured everyone's attention. Instead, he remained
motionless, anchored to the spot as if fearing the earth might crumble beneath him.
Tseemed to stretch into eternity.
The guests, who had just been maintaining courteous facades, suddenly becstatuesque. Their expressions
morphed—from stiff cordiality to puzzled concern, then to a piercing realization. Gradually, they lifted their gazes

The warmth of their previous looks had evaporated, replaced by a cocktail of derision, disdain, and a sprinkle of
indignation.
Meanwhile, Katrina, blissfully unaware of the unfolding , stood poised, ready to wield Daniela’s nas a
weapon to assert her dominance.
“With all due respect, if your intentions aren’t genuine, we see no reason to accept your offerings. Should you
choose not to align with the Harper family or Daniela, feel free to retract your gifts and depart.”
Her declaration had just echoed in the air when the group’s leader smashed his wine glass onto the table. The
glass hit with such force that wine cascaded over its edges, the red splashes marring the once immaculate white
tablecloth.
Katrina, previously exuding a false sense of bravado that had now vanished, stood paralyzed. Confronted with
genuine opposition, she was utterly bewildered.
“Give them back! Why the hell would anyone want anything to do with the Harper family? They're a goddamn
disgrace!”
“Nothing but shameless deceivers!”
“This is beyond appalling! What kind of bad luck drags the Bennett family into dealing with deceitful pieces of
shit like this?” Someone beckoned to Alexander, questioning, “Were you aware of this whole gift scheme?”

encircled by the business elite, he felt like the butt of scruel joke. Once the golden boy, revered and
admired in every circle, Alexander's world had turned upside down.
He had seen the statement from Elite Lux and was overwhelmed with humiliation. Red-faced and visibly
flustered, he bent forward in a deep bow and announced, “I deeply regret any inconvenience caused today.
Daniela will not be able to join us. Please feel free to reclaim any gifts you've brought.” He lowered himself into a
second bow.
