Chapter 326

"Do you really think you can just stroll in here as if it's some kind of hotel?" Daniela asked coldly.

Caiden stood by, watching the scene unfold with a hint of amusement on his face.

Alexander hadn't expected Daniela to say that.He began to explain gently, "Katrina told me she's been feeling unwell and doesn't have anyone to look after her. She was hoping I could stay for a few days to help. You don't mind,right?"

Once he finished speaking, Alexander picked up his luggage and started walking inside.

However, Daniela retorted, "Actually, I do mind."

Alexander froze for a moment, staring at Daniela in disbelief."What did you say?" The Harper family's villa, once owned by Brylee at the height of her wealth, stood as one of the most luxurious properties around.

With more than 30 guest rooms, there was pleny of space for Alexander to settle in.

Alexander never imagined Daniela would turn him away, not even offering him a single room.

"I said I mind," Daniela repeated, her voice steady and firm. "This is my home, and you have no right to stay here."

Katrina was about to speak, but Daniela interrupted her. "Just because I've been quiet doesn't mean Katrina gets to call the shots here. Got it? I don't agree,so you can't stay."

Katrina bit her bottom lip, a touch of embarrassment crossing her face. "Daniela, don't be so bossy. It's just for a few days. Plus, we all know each other. So,why make it harder for him? What did I do wrong?Tell me, and I'll fix it. Just don't make things difficult for Alexander,alright?" At that, Daniela let out a soft chuckle. "Fine."

Katrina was momentarily surprised, and then a smile spread across her face. "Alright. I'll let Alexander-"

Before Katrina could finish, Daniela continued, "I told you before. If you don't behave, there's no place for you in the villa. Do you remember?"

Under Daniela's indifferent gaze, Katrina felt a surge of anxiety wash over her. She muttered, "How can you be like this? I didn't mean anything by it. I've already made that clear."

Daniela picked up her phone to call the moving department of Elite Lux. "Send a team over."

After hanging up, she returned to watching TV,completely ignoring the situation.

Thinking the matter was settled, Katrina told Alexander to head to the guest room.

Not long after, nearly 100 people arrived, beginning to move Katrina's and Caiden's belongings out of the house and into a small shed nearby. Daniela! You're taking this too far!" Katrina exclaimed.

Daniela's gaze stayed icy as she replied, "I can make things even harder for you. Want to test me?"

Katrina was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth. "I'm not moving out of this house."

Daniela said nothing, her silence heavy in the air.

Whether Katrina stayed or left was never a decision she had the right to make.

The leader of the moving staff approached Daniela and reported, "Ms. Harper, the move is complete."

Katrina didn't have many personal belongings, and the shed provided barely enough room for them. The task was finished quickly, thanks to the large group of movers.

Daniela pointed at Katrina with obvious hatred and instructed the leader, "Take her away. Make sure to station security at the front door. Don't let anyone in without permission." Events unfolded with such speed that Caiden found himself unable to respond before it was all said and done.

Frustrated, he shouted, "Daniela, this has nothing to do with me. You're taking it out on the wrong person."

Daniela ignored him, her attention staying fixed on the TV.

That night, the villa was enveloped in silence.

Daniela glanced at Alexander, who stood motionless at the door.

Her gaze returned to the TV, and she asked coolly,"Will you be leaving on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?"
