Chapter 409:
“Letbe clear. Joyce's comfort depends on my happiness. She might have the shares in the robotics company,
but remember, | have endless means to bankrupt you both. Would you dare challenge me?”
The smile on Daniela’s face never faded. It was a serene smile, but the words she spoke sent a chill through
Katrina, freezing her to the core.
“Save your hypocritical talk,” Daniela warned.
“Tryagain, and I'll have you thrown out of this house.”
Flushed with a mix of rage and embarrassment, Katrina felt her cheeks burn.
A maid moved to intervene, but Cedric’s stern look halted her immediately, and she stepped back, choosing not
to provoke him.
“I refuse to engage on your disgraceful level!” Katrina said, storming up the stairs.

Though she was reluctant to acknowledge it, Daniela’s cold stare earlier had planted a deep, unnerving fear in
her.
“Daniela, that lunatic! As if | would waste my ttalking to her!”
When Joyce cto visit her mother the following morning, her posture radiated arrogance.
Alexander, on the other hand, walked in with a grim expression. The farce at their wedding had thoroughly
embarrassed the Bennett family.
Initially, Alexander hadn't intended to accompany Joyce. However, her tic outburst, complete with tears,
screams, and threats of suicide, had pushed Richard to his limits, prompting him to insist Alexander escort her.
Reluctantly, Alexander had complied.
Before their departure, Joyce had raided several valuables from the Bennett family’s storeroom.

Richard's expression was one of displeasure as he bid them farewell.
Joyce's union with the Bennett family had been anything but beneficial; it had been a catastrophe. Richard's
restraint was fueled solely by the hope that future profits from the robotics company might salvage the
struggling Bennett Group. Alexander's mind was far from such financial considerations. He was thoroughly
disillusioned with Joyce.
The sweet, compliant woman he had known had beca domineering spouse, embodying every negative trait
imaginable. She scrutinized his every action, demanded access to his personal phone, meddled in his secretary’s
duties, and dictated his social life.
Merely one day into their marriage, Alexander was filled with regret.
As he reflected on his previous marriage to Daniela, the differences were unbearable. Daniela had respected his
independence, loving him quietly for a decade without ever attempting to curb his freedoms.
During the drive, Joyce seemed to pick up on his distant mood. With a taunting smile, she said, “I monitor you
because | love you. Alexander, you're lucky to have such a devoted wife. Appreciate what you have.”
Alexander's mood remained dark throughout the journey.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoyce gripped his phone tightly, making the cramped space of the car feel even more oppressive.
He found himself thinking about what life might have been like if he had never divorced Daniela.
Bennett Group wouldn't be in this mess. And if trouble had arisen, Daniela would have handled it, just like she
always had in the past. She wouldn't have tried to use it as a way to gain control over him.
With each passing moment, Alexander's regret deepened. By the tthey reached the Harper family’s
residence, the pressure seemed unbearable.
