?Chapter 912:


    Huey shuddered. “Dani’s brutal—she won’t let us off easy. So manypanies have gone bankrupttely. Who’s to say we won’t be next? I refuse to let my family’s business copse while it’s under my watch!”


    Hackett’s face darkened. “Enough talk.”


    “We need to gauge the situation. Get ready. My secretary will set up a dinner with Dani. Stay alert. I hear Cedric means a lot to her. We’ll split up—one group will test Dani, the other will work on Cedric.”


    Huey jumped in. “I’ll deal with Cedric. Honestly, Dani’s cutthroat approach freaks me out.”


    Another said, “I’ll handle Cedric too. Dani is too unpredictable, and I don’t want to risk making a mistake.”


    Hackett’s eyes narrowed in irritation. “Fine! I’ll handle her myself. Huey, Marcus, you’reing with me!”


    With that, Huey’s and Marcus’ faces fell instantly.


    They had hoped for an easier task.


    Things had been unbearably tensetely.


    To them, Cedric seemed like the safer bet.


    Dani was ying an online game with Cedric when Lillian entered the room. “Dani, themerce association has invited you to join them for a meal.”


    Dani straightened up, her lips curling into a slight smile. “They couldn’t resist any longer, could they? I thought they would hold out a bit more.”


    Lillian sneered, “Those old foxes are cunning. They never dirty their own hands; they prefer to have others do the heavy lifting while they enjoy the fruits of theirbor. It’s sickening!”

    Daniughed and said, “Show them no mercy. Let them see our strength. Tonight, we handle those merchants, and by tomorrow, those veterans will be the ones on the offensive.”


    Lillian nodded and exited the room.


    Nina lingered at the doorway, observing Dani.


    She held great admiration for Dani.


    She had never encountered anyone as bold and unapologetic as Dani, who fearlessly embraced both love and hate.


    Dani’s radiance was undeniablypelling.


    Nina, who was usually timid and reserved, felt empowered by Dani’s presence.


    She aspired to always stay close to Dani.


    Lillian reappeared and said, “Dani, does this mean you won’t be attending the dinner tonight?”


    Dani was disinterested. She foundrge gatherings and dining out overly noisy and bothersome.


    “Your mother’s old friend is indebted to Hackett. He hopes that you join them for a meal for his sake.”


    Dani smiled. “They’ve even got in my mother’s friend. Skip dinner. I’ll just meet them for coffee.”


    Lillian responded to the invitation right outside Dani’s office. The other party was exceedingly grateful and quickly sent over the details.


    Lillian chuckled. “They’ve arranged to meet at the Alejandran Coffee, where a single cup costs a hundred thousand. These old guys are really splurging this time.”


    Dani waved dismissively. “Tell them to meet me at the cafe downstairs instead.”
