?Chapter 1214:


    Alexander dropped his gaze, his face ghostly pale beneath the harsh brightness of the vi’s lights. “But I don’t want to move on. You don’t understand. Dani has been a part of my life for so many years. How can I forget her? Every time I close my eyes, she’s there. She loved me for so long. How can I erase that? Just give me more time. I’ll make Dani love me again.”


    With those words, Alexander rose and walked out, the door closing behind him with finality.


    By the time Niks called, over an hour had passed since Alexander’s departure.


    Richard answered the phone, his voice steady. “I haven’t convinced Alexander yet, but he’ll think it through. Romantic pursuits were fleeting, but business endured.”


    Richard continued, “But if Dani truly dies, can you guarantee Bet Group will be the nation’s toppany? You’re not deceiving me, are you?”


    Niks’ voice crackled through the line, icy and unyielding. “I can fulfill my promise first as a gesture of good faith.”


    Niks, a man of vast ambition, found no challenge in offering a few tempting incentives.


    By expanding the prize and making the rewards irresistible, he could conquer even the most reluctant of prey.


    Richard smiled, satisfaction glimmering in his eyes. “That’s exactly what I want to hear.”


    That very night, following the call, Bet Group received a proposal for deep cooperation from Oiscoll.


    The news rippled through the industry like a stone thrown into a calm pond.


    The following day, Bet Group’s stock surged to unimaginable heights.


    Richard watched the stock prices climb, a sense of unshakable confidence settling within him.


    Gal n o v el s . is your destination for fiction


    He narrowed his eyes in contentment, his mind forever turning, plotting Dani’s downfall. Dani had to die.


    Word of the partnership between McCoy Group and Alexander spread to Oiscoll.


    Ghost asked Hamilton, “Mr. McCoy, it appears your sons n to use Alexander as a pawn against Cedric.”


    Hamilton took a slow sip of his coffee, his voice calm. “I know.”


    He was responsible for overseeing every contract within McCoy Group. “Considering the current strength of Phillips Group, battling McCoy Group is no easy feat.”


    Cedric was a local mogul, while Hamilton was the world’s richest man. Ghost was being subtle in saying this.


    Hamilton chuckled. “I know. What truly concerns me isn’t Phillips Group, but Dani. I need to understand Cedric’s ce in her heart. Only then can I determine who is worthy of the McCoy family’s fortune.”


    Ghost asked, “Isn’t that a bit too harsh?”


    Hamilton scoffed, “In the upper echelons of society, it’s always the victor who ims everything. If I’m not cruel to Cedric, someone else will be—better that it’s me.”


    Ghost fell into a heavy silence.


    The instant McCoy Group solidified their deep coboration with Bet Group, news about Bet Group flooded Olisvine.
