Chapter 351:
Joyce shrank back, too frightened to speak.
Hearing the noise, Katrina emerged from her room. She saw Joyce's tear-streaked face and immediately turned
her fury on Caiden.
“What? You can’t deal with Daniela, so now you're taking it out on Joyce? You think you're so impressive? Then
why didn’t you go downstairs to eat? Oh, right—because Daniela put you in your place, and now you're hiding
upstairs like sscared little kid! Sure, Daniela’s doing well now, but don’t forget who your real family is.
You can’t rely on her for anything! Stop acting like you're in charge here! If you were worth anything, we
wouldn't have to put up with this from her!”

With that, she grabbed Joyce and dragged her back to the room, slamming the door shut behind them.
Caiden stood in the hallway, fuming with anger. After a while, he managed to calm down and apologized to
Joyce, promising to buy her a limited-edition handbag once the three hundred million arrived.
It was only then that her sobs finally stopped.
After offering Joyce scomforting words, Caiden and Katrina positioned themselves at the top of the stairs,
waiting patiently for Cedric to finish his meal. Tonight, they were determined to get the money.
After they finished their meals, they retreated to their respective rooms.
Daniela lingered in the living room, playing a gon her phone. Cedric, unbothered by the late hour, began his
meeting on his laptop.

Upstairs, Caiden yawned and glanced at Katrina, who was leaning against the banister, her eyes half-closed.
“It’s already two in the morning. Are they planning to stay up all night?” he muttered, stifling another yawn.
Katrina blinked slowly, her mind too clouded with fatigue to muster a proper response.
Downstairs, Daniela remained engrossed in her guntil three in the morning. It wasn’t until Caiden heard
footsteps creaking up the stairs that he stirred, groggily getting up from the hallway floor.
“Daniela, you're finally going to bed,” he muttered, rubbing his eyes.
Holding her phone loosely, Daniela stopped and tilted her head with a faint smile.
“What? Were you waiting for me?”
Caiden chuckled awkwardly, brushing off her question.
“No, no. | just thought you should get srest. Staying up this late isn’t exactly healthy.”

Without a word, Daniela smirked, a trace of mockery in her expression, and walked off to her room.
Caiden rushed downstairs and knocked hurriedly on Cedric’s door.
Cedric, freshly out of the shower, opened the door and gave Caiden an unimpressed sideways glance.
Looking desperate, Caiden held out his phone, shoving it towards Cedric.
“Look at this! The money hasn't arrived!”
Cedric frowned slightly and retrieved his own phone. Pulling up his banking app, he pointed at the screen,
showing the transaction record. It was processed at eight this morning. Caiden stared at Cedric, his frustration
bubbling over.
“I swear, | didn’t receive it!”
Cedric, unfazed by Caiden’s panic, called the bank manager.
