Chapter 233:
“Alexander, is this a surprise call to say you've reconsidered? Ready to marryat last? You know, mom
mentioned that marryingcomes with the Harper family’s fortune. Of all the suitors, you've always been my
top pick.”
Alexander barely had a chance to reply before the phone was abruptly passed to someone else.
Katrina's voice, firm and calculating, filled the line.
“Alexander, did you finally cto your senses? | always knew you were the clever one. Here's the deal—I hold
the reins to the Harper family. Marry Joyce, and all that wealth could be yours.”
“No,” Alexander's voice was steady, his gaze fixed on Daniela as he spoke.
“I called to make it clear—I will not marry Joyce. Not now, not at my father’s behest. I've realized that my heart

Not giving Katrina a chance to react, he ended the call with a swift tap.
Ignoring the insistent buzz of Katrina's callbacks, Alexander turned to Daniela, his expression earnest.
“I've made my stance clear to them, Daniela. Is it finally our tto be together?”
Daniela’s lips curved into a grin as she remarked, “Alexander, you really went all out, didn’t you? | only said I'd
think about it, not that it was a done deal. Don’t you think you're getting ahead of yourself?”
Alexander was aware that Daniela had only agreed to consider his proposal.

His impatience was getting the better of him. He believed that settling things quickly would be more efficient,
particularly with Cedric hovering nearby, a constant threat to his peace of mind.
“We've known each other for years. Is there really anything left to ponder?” he implored, his eyes scanning her
expressive face, his heart fluttering with hope.
Daniela let out a derisive chuckle.
“You've known Joyce for ages too, yet you didn’t hesitate to cut her off just moments ago.”
“I was just...” he stuttered, searching for the right words.
Daniela’s smile grew sharp.
“No need to spell it out. | get it.
You're the type who looks at the grand schof things. There's no need for excuses with me.”
With those words, Alexander felt a weight lift off his shoulders. This was promising. Daniela was beginning to see
things from his angle. It wouldn't be long before she returned to being the woman who had always supported
him.
“Daniela, | miss the way you used to be—generous, gentle, and considerate,” he admitted.
Daniela’s laughter rang out again, light and carefree. She was generous, indeed—turning a blind eye while he
shamelessly flirted with her stepsister. Her gentleness was undeniable, always attentive to whatever Alexander

Of course, he liked such a foolish woman.
“So, are you tellingthat my power, status, or wealth don’t matter to you?” Daniela queried, her gaze piercing
into Alexander's soul.
With a firm shake of his head, Alexander responded, “How could those superficial things be the reasons I cherish
you? Daniela, believe me, my desire to be with you now is sincere.”
Daniela’s expression softened as she nodded in agreement.
