EuropeNovelChapter 623:
In Lillian’s opinion, Daniela was always stringent with herself, and she believed Daniela should apply the same
standards to others. Previously, to draw Katrina out, Daniela had not hesitated to use herself as bait. Thus,
employing Cedric as bait now seemed trivial by comparison. After all, it was just a strategic move. They had
comprehensive protection in place to ensure Cedric’s safety, eliminating any cause for concern.
Lillian was certain of Cedric’s loyalty; she knew he would consent to being the bait. In her view, Nina was more
cunning than Katrina, but not particularly dangerous. It would simply involve capitalizing on Cedric’s charm. It
wasn't anything too serious.
Once Lillian finished proposing the idea, she waited for Daniela’s approval. Daniela, however, remained quiet.
“Daniela?”
Lillian, thinking Daniela might not have heard her, was about to repeat her suggestion when Daniela responded

Anything that might put Cedric at risk is out of the question,” Daniela declared decisively.
Lillian was caught off guard.
“But it’s not really dangerous, is it?”
“Regardless,” Daniela replied, her voice steady and authoritative.
“He shouldn't be dragged into my personal affairs.”
Cedric was invaluable to her. Daniela regretted involving him in her complex life, burdening him with concerns
for her well-being. She refused to expose him to any risk. Absolutely not.
Lillian was struck by Daniela’s determination. Daniela seldom expressed her feelings openly. Lillian had never
been under the impression that Daniela deeply cared for Cedric. At best, she thought Daniela valued him as a
friend and had begrudgingly accepted their relationship. Now, Lillian found herself questioning her assumptions.
Could it be that Daniela truly had deeper feelings for Cedric? Lillian pondered this until Katrina showed up,
looking utterly disheveled and distressed.
Daniela initially suspected Katrina was fleeing from someone, but as soon as she entered the office, Katrina
broke down in tears.
“Daniela, are you going to address the situation with your dad? As a high-profile CEO, it can’t look good to have
a father accused of domestic abuse, right?”
Nina, standing in the doorway, watched in silence, her eyes widening at the accusation.
Daniela glanced up and noticed Nina.
“He is not my father.”
The revelation made Nina pause, taken aback, while Katrina, though surprised, seemed somewhat prepared.
“So, you're saying you won't intervene with your father mistreating me?” Katrina asked, her voice wavering.
“He’s been excluded from the family and has returned to town. He threatened to harmunless you allow him
to stay at the Harper family villa.”

likely still had sfinancial resources.
“Are you asking for my help?” Daniela asked.
“Yes,” Katrina replied.
“Very well. What's your price?” Daniela inquired.
Katrina was taken aback by the question.
