?Chapter 1183:


    Niks shot a furious re at the secretary. “Pregnant again?”


    The secretary nodded. “Yes, your father is thrilled and has publicly granted him management rights to a casino. If it’s a boy, there will be even more rewards.”


    Niks closed his eyes, the pressure to im control of the McCoy family weighing heavily on him.


    The secretary proposed, “Sir, it seems the family knows about Cedric’s situation. They don’t want to share the family assets with him. If handling him alone is too difficult, you could bring your brothers in. With more hands, things might go smoother. If one of them kills Cedric, it won’t fall on you, and your father won’t me you.”


    Niks thought deeply for a moment. “But Dani is a formidable opponent. If she gets angry, no number of family members will make a difference.”


    After all, as Cealmaur’s leader, if she retaliated, it wouldn’t just be them—even the family head would be in jeopardy.


    “We have to take a chance, don’t we? Besides, I’ve noticed how indulgent your father is towards Dani. I spoke with the family doctor, and your father’s health has been declining. The sessor will likely be chosen soon. You’ve been nning for years. Don’t throw away your advantage now and risk everything.”


    Niks clenched his fists, the tension rising, and immediately sent a message to his brothers’ group chat.


    The message read, “Urgent! Come to Olisvine. Cedric is trying to take the family assets!”


    Dani arrived home to find Joyce and Jack basking in the beauty of the blossoms in the garden.


    When Jack spotted Dani, Joyce gave him a subtle nudge.


    Jack stood with a grin and hurried over to Dani. “Auntie!”


    ???????? ???????????? ???? ?????????????????????????


    Dani gave a nod, her eyes drifting toward Joyce in the distance, who greeted her with a slightly ufortable smile.


    “Auntie, I was admiring the flowers. I went to school today,” Jack added.


    Joyce walked over to Dani. “I took Jack to his old school today, and I helped Tasha with the housework. From now on, I’ll handle the garden and the flowers.”


    It was unusual for Joyce to show such warmth.


    Dani met her gaze.


    Joyce pulled Jack closer and smiled at Dani. “Dani, I know we’re not blood rtives, and we’ve had our misunderstandings. But seeing how much Jack cares for you, please let us stay. I promise, all I want is for him to grow up in a peaceful environment. I have no other motives!”


    As she spoke, Joyce lowered herself in a bow with Jack by her side.


    Dani lowered her gaze.


    Joyce wasn’t naive; she knew how to read the situation. She understood that without Dani’s support, she and Jack would be powerless in the eyes of others.


    Only by staying close to Dani could Jack secure a bright future.


    “Also, while going through old things today, I found a USB drive my mother had secretly ced in my bag before she died. It contains a recording with clues about your mother’s murder. I’m giving it to you now, hoping you’ll consider this and help us.”


    Joyce pulled the USB drive from her pocket.
