?Chapter 1272:


    Thus, it wasn’t just about Hamilton courting Cedric’s favor; more crucially, it was about securing Dani’s allegiance.


    Charles’ thoughts were heavy as he remembered the secretary’s words: “Whoever has Dani on their side, wins the McCoy fortune!” With newfound resolve, Charles approached Dani, his earlier apprehension reced by a practiced smile. “What did my father discuss with you earlier?”


    Dani’s voice was clear and direct. “He wants Cedric to call him Dad.” Her candid response surprised Charles. He had expected her to be more guarded.


    Dani’s perceptiveness didn’t miss a beat. “You’re not in a position to threaten Cedric.”


    Charles stopped short, stung by the realization that he had just been dismissed outright.


    “My father’s intent on bringing Cedric back into our family. How do you feel about that?” For Charles, this was the only issue that mattered. He had orchestrated things so Cedric would be gone for good. Yet, unexpectedly, Cedric hade to Oiscoll.


    The implications were daunting—a mix of pressure and evident threat. Dani’s tone remained clear. “It’s his decision, ultimately.”


    Charles responded in surprise, “You promised you would back me up!”


    Dani gave him a skeptical look. “You think you’re fit to run the McCoy empire with such little patience?”


    Visibly upset, Charles bit his lip.


    Dani reassured him, “Don’t worry. Cedric isn’t here for McCoy Group. His reason for being in Oiscoll is me.”


    Charles was skeptical. “Really? We’re discussing the McCoy empire here. It’s hard to think Cedric would overlook the immense fortune involved.”


    Dani chuckled. “Believe it or not, your family’s wealth doesn’t surpass mine. Please, don’t delude yourself.”


    ???????????? ???????????? ??????: g???????ν????????????


    Bewildered, Charles questioned her, “What are you suggesting? How is your wealth relevant to Cedric?”


    Dani exined calmly, “It seems everyone forgets Cedric and I are united in marriage. His entitlement is to whatever I possess.”


    Reflecting for a moment, Dani continued, “You know, despite the poprity of prenuptial agreements among the affluent, I chose not to sign one. So everything I own belongs to Cedric too.” This revtion left Charlespletely dumbfounded.


    Charles was taken aback. “You didn’t secure a prenup with Cedric?” He blinked in disbelief, trying to make sense of the revtion. “Dani, this could cost you dearly!”


    Indeed, Dani understood well that heirs to substantial fortunes typically ensured their interests were meticulously arranged before marriage. This usually involved detailed negotiations and signingprehensive legal documents to protect family assets before even considering marriage registration.


    This approach primarily served to protect the assets of the rich. Everyone assumed Dani held the advantage in her marriage. However,cking a prenup meant that, in the event of a divorce, Cedric could im a significant share of her wealth.


    In contrast, Phillips Group, which Cedric managed, paled inparison to Dani’s Elite Lux.
