Chapter 403
Chapter 403:
Katrina's face twisted with annoyance.
“Alexander, what the hell are you apologizing for? Isn't Daniela still a Harper? Just because she’s absent today
doesn’t mean she has severed ties with us. There's no need for you to apologize.”
The instant Katrina finished, the guests erupted in a cacophony of laughter.
At that exact moment, Joyce made her entrance, decked out in her wedding dress, radiating an unmistakable
arrogance. Now flush with cash, she regarded everyone around her with thinly veiled contempt.
Alexander sent her a desperate look, silently begging her to defuse the escalating tension. However, Joyce
ignored his imploring gaze. With deliberate strides, she approached the table, seized a glass of wine, and flung
its contents into the face of the man leading the rival faction.
A suffocating silence descended upon the gathering. Every guest at the wedding banquet froze, utterly shocked
by the audacity of her actions.
A tremor ran through Richard's hands as his fury boiled over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA storm of thoughts surged through his head, all landing on the sbrutal question: what kind of shitty luck led
Alexander to marry this absolute moron?
The man at the receiving end of Joyce's wrath was no ordinary guest; he was a longstanding client and ally of
the Bennett family. He had cearlier that day in a spirit of goodwill, hoping to help mediate the brewing
conflict.
Joyce didn’t even bother to think. She marched over and dumped the wine on him without a second thought, her
fury dripping alongside the red liquid.
The wine wasn’t the only thing she threw—it was the trust and unity built over ten years between their families.
“What the hell, Joyce? Have you lost your mind?” Alexander's voice trembled with shock, his hands clenched at
his sides. It took him a moment to recover before he snatched a handful of napkins and hurried over to the man
drenched in wine, offering profuse apologies.

Meanwhile, Joyce remained poised, her arms crossed defiantly, radiating an air of indomitable pride. Supported
by the formidable alliance of Elite Lux and Daniela, along with the vast empire of robotics, her confidence
soared. With Harper Group's endorsement and her marriage to Alexander, she felt an unprecedented surge of
empowerment. To her, what was a mere glass of wine in the grand schof her backing? Who would dare
challenge her or cross paths with Daniela?
The shares Daniela had entrusted her with weren't just investments; they symbolized Daniela’s lingering
commitment to the Harper family. This connection was Joyce's leverage—she knew as long as it existed, Daniela
could not sever ties without consequence. Joyce was convinced she could exploit this to the fullest, for
obsessions often revealed vulnerabilities.
Her blatant arrogance incited a wave of disgust among the onlookers.
“Alexander, this is the woman you've chosen as your wife?” the drenched man retorted sharply, his voice laced
with disbelief and disdain. He scrubbed his face and shirt vigorously with a napkin, but the deep red wine had
already permeated the fabric of his pristine white shirt, staining it irreversibly and leaving it wrinkled and
spoiled.
In a fit of irritation, he flung the napkin to the ground and fixed a harsh glare on Alexander.
“I've always held the Bennett family in high regard for their honor, which is the sole reason I've kept you as my
business partners all these years. But today, | see my trust was misplaced. If you can welcsomeone like her
into your family, then clearly, I've misjudged you all. We are done with our partnership, effective immediately!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that declaration, he stormed away, his anger palpable in every step.
