?Chapter 1539:


    The guard pulled out hismunication device. “We’ve got some people here pretending to be Mr. Phillips’ rtives. Please bring reinforcements.”


    The McCoys stood there, stunned into silence. When they finally processed what had happened, their faces flushed with fury. One of them shouted, jabbing a finger, “Excuse me? Repeat that! Who’s pretending anything? We’re the McCoys! This man’s Cedric’s second uncle, this one’s the third, that’s his aunt with her husband!”


    The guard said nothing. Momentster, the chief of security appeared with a squad of officers and blocked the entry entirely.


    “My apologies. Entry is restricted to those with verified clearance. Furthermore, we’ve spoken with Mr. Phillips. He denies having any McCoy rtives. Please act ordingly.”


    The one iming to be Cedric’s eldest uncle exploded. As he opened his mouth to protest, Niks came into view.<fne9d0> Updates are released by FindN()vel</fne9d0>


    They swarmed him at once. “You need to help us! These idiots won’t let us in. Set them straight!”


    Others quickly joined in, nodding and pleading.


    Niks examined both sides—the guards and the gathered family—before letting out a tired breath. “This isn’t my jurisdiction. They make the rules here. My hands are tied.”


    The group, just moments ago puffed up with confidence, blinked in disbelief.


    “Wait—what did you just say?” one muttered, stunned.


    “Niks, seriously? You’re siding with outsiders while we’re being shamed? Do you even consider yourself one of us anymore?”


    Niks swiped his badge and slipped through the automatic doors. Without ncing over his shoulder, he replied, “Actually, no. My father already cut ties with me. You’d be wise not to stir things up. Dani will be back any minute, and she doesn’t handle nonsense well. If she catches you harassing Cedric, she’ll tear into you, and trust me—it’ll sting.”


    With that, he vanished, leaving the McCoys seething.

    The eldest among them gave a sharp, bitterugh. “Hamilton’s son turned out rotten. That man’s a shame to the bloodline. And Dani? We’re supposed to be scared of her? Who does she think she—”


    The third uncle growled, “Exactly! She acts high and mighty, but she’s just some woman!”


    No sooner had he said that than they noticed the guards’ expressions shift dramatically. Every officer snapped upright as one voice rang out: “Ms. Harper.”


    The McCoys turned—and there Dani was, standing tall at the front entrance, wearing aposed smile.


    “Men who resort to using womanhood as a jab clearly have nothing stronger to offer,” Dani said smoothly as she sauntered forward. “Now, let’s see who considers themselves important.”


    Silence nketed the McCoy camp.


    Across from them, Dani folded her arms. “You want a word with my husband. He’s upied. If there’s anything to discuss, say it to me.”


    They hade at this hour deliberately, hoping to avoid her. They knew Cedric was relentless when it came to business, and Dani wouldn’t loosen her grip on him.
