?Chapter 1175:
Niks pressed his lips into a thin line, resentment and frustration tangled across his face.
Just then, a secretary arrived and called Cedric away for a discussion, leaving Dani and Niks alone in the office.
Niks swallowed nervously, realizing how unbearable it felt to share the same room with Dani.
A cold, deep-rooted fear clung to him, robbing him of the courage to meet her gaze.
“Why did you dislocate my arm?” he asked, trying to sound cold, but theck of strength behind his words betrayed him—a sharp contrast to the cocky man who had juste from Oiscoll.
Dani remained unmoved, not offering so much as a flicker of emotion in reply.
Feeling dejected, Niks muttered under his breath, “So rude.”
Dani slowly lifted her eyelids, and the simple action made Niks instinctively take a step back.
A faint smirk curved her lips. “Rx. So long as you don’t act foolishly, I won’t even touch you.”
Niks was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when Dani added, “But if you dare feed Cedric lies again, like you did this afternoon, leaving him all alone, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Niks was left speechless.
Dani went on, “I don’t care about your family’s petty drama. Plot all you want—it means nothing to me. But I have one rule. Don’t let him get hurt. If he does, whether it’s you or Hamilton McCoy, I won’t spare either of you.”
Niks was stunned. “How could you call my father like that? He’s your father-inw!”
Dani’s expression didn’t even flinch. “If Cedric epts him as his father, sure, Hamilton’s my father-inw. If not, you two are just dust I can sweep away whenever I please.”

Niks stood frozen, frustration swelling inside him, yet utterly powerless.
Dani leaned back slightly, her tone razor-sharp. “And letting Ghost poke his nose into our business? That’s hardly the move of a responsible father-inw.”
Niks bristled, quick to defend. “My father had nothing to do with this!”
“Oh, really?” Dani arched a brow, her sneer cutting deep. “Then how exactly did Ghost show up here?”
“I called him myself!” Niks shot back without hesitation.
Dani’s smirk deepened, dripping with mockery. “You? Niks, you have brothers, don’t you? Here’s some free advice—drop the dream of leading the McCoy family. With that brain of yours, you’re better off watching from the sidelines.”
Niks red up. “What the hell do you mean by that? Are you calling me stupid? Saying I don’t measure up? Ghost follows my orders, got that? He came because I told him to! He knows I’m the rightful heir!”
Dani let out a dry chuckle. “Why don’t you go ahead and ask your dad? See if Ghost showed up because of your orders or his.”
Niks fumed, his jaw tightening. “Fine! I’ll ask him right now!”
Without wasting a second, he dialed a long-distance call.
