Chapter 551:
This was the life she had chosen, and she was prepared to live it forever.
Katrina couldn't contain her emotions any longer. She yanked Joyce outside, her temper flaring.
“Joyce, do you really intend to embarrasslike this?”
Joyce’s demeanor was unaffected. Her face showed no emotion, utterly impassive.
“Mom, | pleaded with you, yet you declined.
You prioritized your own desires, neglecting mine. | had no choice but to depend on myself. Was | wrong? The
reason I'm here today is because of you.
You're the one who should be reflecting on this.”
Katrina felt herself teetering on the edge of sanity. Her eyes bore into Joyce with a frosty intensity.
“Leave Doug now! Return home, and you'll still be my daughter.”

indifferently.
Katrina's eyes welled up with tears.
“I put so much effort into raising you, and this is how you repay me? | promised | would find a way to help you.”
In her sleek, designer dress, Joyce maintained her composure.
“Oh really? Your help involved letting someone attackwith a knife? You had an option but chose not to take

Tears rolled down Katrina's cheeks.

Joyce, however, stayed unmoved.
“I see, Mom. Everyone looks out for their own interests. | understand.
You weren't willing to make sacrifices for me.”
Katrina opened her mouth to respond, but Joyce cut her off.
“There's no need for further discussion. I've made my choice. I've never managed to make you proud. If you feel
disgraced by me, then feel free to declare to the world that you don’t have a daughter like me.”
With these words, Joyce began to walk away.
Katrina hugged herself tightly, shivering as tears streamed down her face, watching Joyce's figure recede into
the distance.
At that moment, she realized she was on the verge of losing the daughter she had cherished all her life. Doug
was well-known for his notorious sexual escapades. Despite Joyce's attendance at the event in a stunning gown,
her attire revealed no skin. The rationale was clear to all present.
Beneath the outward elegance lay a life filled with pain and sacrifice.
Upon Katrina's return home, she found Daniela already there.
Bathed in soft lighting, Daniela looked as radiant as ever. Cedric was there too, feeding her orange slices one by
one.
Cedric murmured something quietly.

The atmosphere in the living room was warm and intimate.
Katrina lingered at the doorway, paralyzed, until the numbness in her feet jolted her back to reality.
Her daughter was enduring hardship. Why was Brylee’s daughter being doted on by Olisvine’s most
distinguished man?
How could Katrina not feel envious?
