?Chapter 1561:


    Hamilton genuinely wondered if Dani had lost her mind. Of all times, she had the audacity to crack jokes.


    “Where are the assassins?” he demanded, wasting no time.


    Dani simply motioned toward the courtyard.<fn26c4> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fn26c4>


    Without hesitation, Hamilton charged inside, with Damon, Niks, and Joseph right behind him.


    What they found inside stood in jarring contrast to Dani’s cool demeanor. The entire courtyard looked like a battlefield soaked in blood. Crimson stains were everywhere, creating a grim and haunting sight.


    Men were sprawled across the ground in agony. Their wounds were so grave, most couldn’t even cry out. Some clung to broken limbs, others barely managed to lift a hand toward Hamilton for help.


    No one spoke. Shock rendered them speechless.


    Hamilton nced back at Dani, who was stepping neatly around the bloodstained petals lining the path. His voice turned icy. “Was this your doing?”


    Dani casually shook her head. “Not me.”


    Hamilton continued to stare at her, unblinking.


    With a light shrug, Dani added, “Honestly, I have no clue what got into them. They barged in and just started injuring themselves like they’d lost their minds. Joseph, could you call emergency services? They’ll need to be taken out of here before someone actually dies.”


    She looked back at Hamilton,pletely unfazed, and added casually, “Oh, and by the way, can I get your brother’s number?”


    Hamilton blinked, clearly caught off guard. But Joseph, without missing a beat, recited the number, and Dani began to dial.


    The call connected instantly, like the man on the other end had been expecting it all along.


    “Hello?”


    “Hello,” Dani greeted coolly, then nced at Hamilton. “What’s his name?”


    Hamilton let out a tired sigh. “Josh McCoy.”


    Dani’s tone turned light, almost amused. “Oh, Josh, huh? Well, just so you know—your men are done here. An ambnce is on the way to pick them up. But I’ve got one problem. Your guys trashed my ce. So here’s the deal—either send people to clean it up and make everything spotless, or I’m grabbing a can of gasoline and setting your house on fire. Totally your call.”


    Not only Niks and Damon but even Hamilton was utterly shocked.


    For years, Hamilton had technically been the one calling the shots in the family, but Josh, as the eldest, had never shown him genuine respect. Josh never hesitated to undermine Hamilton in front of everyone, making a habit of embarrassing him whenever the chance arose.


    But today was different. For the first time, Hamilton watched as Dani put Josh firmly in his ce, her voicemanding and impossible to ignore.


    A mix of emotions churned inside Hamilton. He couldn’t help but think that Dani was too forceful, almost to the point of being intimidating. The thought of her having full control over the McCoy family sent a ripple of anxiety through him.


    Still, watching Dani threaten Josh gave Hamilton a sense of relief he’d buried for years. Finally, someone was saying what he had never dared to say out loud.
