?Chapter 1523:


    “That’s right! If we don’t remind her who’s in charge here, she’ll start to forget her ce in Oiscoll.”


    “I don’t agree. We discussed sanctions before, but now herpany is gaining ground. Taking action now will harm our own interests!”


    “What’s the hold-up? She’s only one woman. It’s absurd to think we’re afraid of her!”


    “It’s not about being afraid. What’s the point of picking a fight with her when she hasn’t even made a move against us? If we start a financial war and lose, we’ll just make ourselves a joke. Even if we win, it hardly seems worth the risk.”


    Hamilton’s expression hardened at that. He mmed his hand against the table.


    “Are you actually suggesting McCoy Group could lose? You call yourself a leader? We’re a powerhouse, at the top of the international market. Are you really telling me we should be worried about Dani? That’s nonsense. Spread talk like that, and you’re the one everyone will mock!”


    The director faltered, his voice barely above a whisper, “But you can’t deny how fast herpany is catching up.”


    A heavy silence settled over the conference room.


    Hamilton shot the director a hard look.


    “Have you forgotten there is a blood feud between Dani and every one of us? Do you honestly believe she’ll just forgive and forget? Maybe you can dodge her now, but the moment she’s strong enough to stand toe-to-toe with McCoy Group, she’lle for every one of you.”


    The force behind Hamilton’s words lingered, making everyone shift uneasily. Some directors exchanged uneasy nces, uncertainty flickering in their eyes.


    Just then, the office door creaked open.


    Niks appeared in the doorway, eyes wide with confusion.


    He fixed his gaze on Hamilton.


    “Dad, what are you talking about? A blood feud? What is that? You told me it was all a misunderstanding. Are you telling me you had something to do with her mother’s death?”


    Hamilton’s scowl deepened as his eyesnded on Niks.


    “This isn’t your ce, Niks. Who let you in here? Leave. Now.”


    Undeterred, Niks brushed past the secretary and faced Hamilton head-on.


    “Dad, I need the truth. What is this history between Dani and McCoy Group?”


    Hamilton let out a harshugh.


    “You think you’re entitled to answers? You’re nothing to thispany anymore. McCoy Group’s affairs don’t concern you. Get out of my sight!”


    The secretary quickly motioned to security and leaned in close to Niks, her voice low. “Please go. You can speak with Mr. McCoy once the meeting’s finished.”


    With security guiding him out, Niks was removed from the boardroom.


    As soon as the door closed behind him, the directors’ whispers filled the room. “What was Niks doing, barging in here out of nowhere?”


    “Word is he’s been spending time with Danitely. If he overheard all that, there’s a good chance he’ll tell her everything.”
