“Yes.”

Daniela continued to kiss him, soothing his feigned distress.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Katrina’s patience was wearing thin. She quietly asked the maid, “What are they possibly discussing upstairs for so long?”

The maid, not bothered by the inquiry, answered, “They’re always like this. They get along well. I noticed Cedric making frequent early morning visits upstairs, saying he was bringing Daniela water.”

Hearing the maid’s explanation, Katrina was incredulous. Didn’t Daniela have water in her room? Was it something special about the water provided by Cedric?

As she pondered this, Daniela descended the stairs.

Katrina quickly asked, “Where’s Cedric? Still in your room?” Daniela’s face remained impassive, though her lips were slightly reddened.

“He’s organizing some company data,” she responded nonchalantly as she walked towards the sofa and turned on the TV.

“What did you want to discuss with me?”

While Daniela focused on the TV, Katrina, feeling a bit dissatisfied, decided not to press further. Instead, she ventured, “Could you do me a favor?”

Daniela, picking up an apple, responded flatly, “No.”

“I haven’t even told you what it is yet.”

Daniela stayed silent, her attention fixed on the TV, her demeanor detached.

When Cedric descended the stairs and saw Daniela’s aloof expression, the peace he had just reclaimed was unsettled again.

“It’s nothing serious,” Katrina mentioned, trying to remain nonchalant despite her internal turmoil over Joyce’s recent actions.

“Could you transfer Joyce’s dividends to me?”

Daniela turned and asked, “Why?”

Unable to reveal her true motives, Katrina said, “I’m a bit strapped for cash lately.”

Daniela responded, “Ask Joyce to transfer them to you. I don’t handle those details.”

Katrina clenched her teeth in frustration.

“Fine. I’ll tell you the truth—Joyce and Alexander are divorcing. I don’t want the Bennett family to get any dividends from the robotics company. I’d appreciate it if you could halt the dividend distribution until I get things sorted.”

Unbeknownst to Katrina, Daniela had already ordered the halt on dividends.

Seeing Katrina willing to take the blame, Daniela was content to let her do so.

“What should I say if Joyce asks?” she asked.

Katrina asserted with conviction, “Blame it on me. After all, I’m Joyce’s mother.”

Daniela stayed quiet, her attention turning back to the television as she nibbled on her apple.

Katrina pleaded for a long time, even writing a formal letter, before Daniela finally relented.

Grateful, Katrina showered her with thanks.

“We’re family, after all. I always knew you had a soft heart, Daniela, far more understanding than Joyce.” She then headed upstairs.

She was certain that without financial support, Milo would leave Joyce.

Everything would then revert to normal.
