?Chapter 1441:


    Kohen opened his mouth, about to pitch himself more earnestly.


    But Dani simply said, “Okay.”


    Kohen froze, startled by how easily she agreed.


    He stood there for a beat. “Seriously?”


    Dani still didn’t look up, replying with indifference, “Isn’t that what you requested?”


    Kohen nced at Dani, and in that instant, he realized why both Niks and Damon were drawn to her. She possessed a rare maism that made her stand out effortlessly. Had he not been a McCoy, he might have been swayed by the unexpected trust she showed him. But sadly, he bore the McCoy name. And with it came his ambition to seize the family legacy.


    His goal was to find out Dani’s weaknesses and tell his father.


    “Thank you, Dani. I’ll give it my best,” he promised.


    Dani gave a curt nod. “You may go now.”


    After Kohen left, Carol stepped into the room. “Why would he pick construction and engineering? It means working outside no matter the weather, and it’s seriously tiring.”


    Dani gave a dry, ironic smirk.


    Carol was briefly confused, then it dawned on her.


    Kohen returned, blueprint in hand, and knocked on her door. “Dani, there are ws in thisyout. Look here—and here. These sections are problematic.”


    Dani gave it a quick look. “Design issues should go to the department manager.”


    Kohen cast his gaze downward, a hint of vulnerability in his demeanor. “It wouldn’t be right for me to criticize the manager’s work so soon after joining, and I’m notpletely sure myself. Would you minding with me to the site for a brief look? Your questions would carry more weight than mine.”


    The moment he said that, Carol instantly realized—Kohen was testing if Dani was afraid of heights.


    ?????? ?????? ???????? ?????????? at ??????????ν??????．??????


    Carol’s eyes lit with fury, her fist tightening at her side.


    Dani stayedposed. “I’m not going. The manager will join you shortly.”


    Kohen pressed on, “But this section’s vital. And the site is near the vi. A quick check tomorrow morning would take fifteen minutes at most.”


    Daniid her pen aside and leaned back slightly. “You seem very enthusiastic about this.”


    Kohen answered, “Certainly, it’s a crucial section of the project.”


    Dani fixed her gaze on Kohen silently for a long moment. Kohen’s eyes shifted nervously under her steady stare.


    Dani smiled. “Really? Since it’s so vital, I’ll apany you to inspect it tomorrow.”


    Kohen’s eyes lit up. “Perfect! Then after breakfast tomorrow, we’ll go together.”


    Content, he turned and left.


    Later that evening, Damon came back from the casino and heard from Carol that Kohen intended to bring Dani to check the project the following day. Damon skipped his meal and pulled Kohen aside from the dining table.
