Chapter 292
Chapter 292:
“Oh, and just so you know, I've been feeling a bit homesick lately. I'll be moving back tomorrow.” Katrina's
expression changed drastically at her words. Joyce scowled, her voice laced with indignation.
“What right do you think you have? Dad already severed ties with you!”
“Do you even think? If not, you might want to consider getting yourself a brain.”
Daniela leaned back, completely at ease.
“Yes, Caiden cut ties with me. But the villa was my mother’s. Under inheritance law, | still have a stake in it. | can
move back whenever | choose, and not even Caiden can stop me—certainly not you.”
Daniela stood, stretching lazily, her eyes sweeping over Katrina and Joyce with clear contempt.
“You two should probably start praying that Caiden doesn’t die anytsoon. Otherwise, the portion of the villa
left to you might be smaller than a bathroom.”

murmured, “I'll be more gentle.”
Katrina's face remained torn, her mind swirling with confusion. Then, Daniela added the final blow.
“I'll be on my way now. | have a feeling Caiden will wake soon. Don’t you think so, Katrina?”
Katrina was stunned into silence, her thoughts scattered.
Joyce stormed over to Alexander, slipping her arm through his with a sense of urgency.

“Alexander! Did you hear the way Daniela was talking? So sarcastic, so cold! Anyone who heard her would think
we were the ones who killed Brylee! It's a blessing you didn’t stay with her; she’s totally out of her mind!”
Alexander wasn’t so easily fooled. Joyce might have missed the meaning of Daniela’s words, but he didn’t. What
did she mean by Caiden waking up soon? How could she possibly know? Alexander narrowed his eyes, a growing
suspicion forming as his gaze turned to Katrina.
Meanwhile, Katrina, getting ready for surgery on her fractured finger, stepped out of the ward to make a call
before signing the necessary forms.
In the quiet hospital garden, she whispered into the phone, “Mom, do you think Daniela has figured something
out? Why would she suddenly want to move back? She has a prspot in the Elite Lux building with a city view.
Why would she want to move back?”
On the other end, her mother was playing cards.
“You're overthinking it. Daniela was just a kid back then. She was only five. Who remembers things from that
age?”
Katrina's unease persisted.
“Then why did she snap so suddenly? She's always been so calm, never argumentative. But today, she was
completely different.”
Her mother let out a soft laugh.
“Maybe it's because of Alexander. She’s probably just holding a grudge. Think about it — she loved him for so
long. What's the term? Oh, right, sunk cost. Alexander's her sunk cost. She's upset she lost him and can’t do

Katrina muttered quietly, “Is that really what it is?”
But something didn’t sit right. Daniela didn’t appear bitter. In fact, she seemed to have grown quite close to
Cedric. She had even entrusted him with the sales of the villa.
Didn't that imply Cedric was now more significant to Daniela than Alexander?
