?Chapter 1567:


    Hamilton had never voiced these words out loud. But after the attack on Dani and Cedric, he’d woken up to plenty. All these years, he had carried the McCoy name on his back, while those people leeched off him and still criticized him.


    “Hamilton, what nonsense is this? Fine. I’ll knock. But don’t run off. You need to see how your daughter-inw and son behave, so we don’t look like the bullies here.” Hilda McCoy, Hamilton’s sister, stepped forward and went to knock.


    Dani had already seen Hamilton’s message earlier. With Niks and Damon being part of the McCoy family, she had asked them to stay inside. Cedric and Carol were both worn out from the long night, so she’d ordered them to rest.


    When the McCoy crowd turned up, Dani was doing yoga in the courtyard. At the knock, she rose, unhurried, and opened the gate herself.


    Dani’s eyes were ice, and when the wind caught her hair, it whipped back, framing her face like a de.


    Hilda startled at the sight and took a few steps back.


    Dani folded her arms, her voice clipped with annoyance. “What do you want?”


    Her cold stare swept over each face, brows drawing tight. “Speak.” Even standing still, she made it clear who was in charge.


    The McCoy family shot uneasy nces at each other, but not one of them dared to speak up.


    Joseph watched them in silence, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.


    Hamilton leaned closer, fighting a grin, and muttered under his breath, “Keep it calm. No drama.”


    With the silence dragging on, Dani began to push the gate closed. Josh, eyes darting to Hamilton for help, finally stepped forward and pressed his hand against the gate. “You burned down our ancestral estate, Dani! You’ll pay for this!”


    Dani met his eyes, her tone so calm it cut deeper than any shout. “Who ordered a hundred men to storm my ce this morning?”

    Josh swallowed, saying nothing.


    Dani continued, “Did I not give you fair warning? I told you—one hour. Get people to clean up my ce. Did you listen?”


    Russell retorted, “But—”


    Dani cut him off. “You’d rather watch your precious mansion go up in mes than lift a finger to clean up my property. I’m ruthless, that’s true. You knew it when you tested me. Now look—your estate’s nothing but ash. Who’s to me?”


    Her words came soft butnded like ice on bare skin.


    Hamilton stood to the side, half wanting to nod, half wanting to shake his head.


    Dani jabbed a finger toward her courtyard. “Since you’re all here anyway, I don’t have to chase you down. There’s blood everywhere. I’m giving you another hour. If no one handles it by then, I’ll kill Mason next. Did I stutter?”


    Josh’s mouth fell open.


    Dani’s eyes swept the entire group, daring anyone to protest. “Each of you owes me. One by one, I’ll collect what’s mine. Wait and see.”


    She didn’t bother pulling the gate shut. Instead, she flung it wide. Her cold stare pinned Josh. “One hour. Don’t make me repeat myself.”


    She yawned, turned her back on all of them, and walked off like nothing had happened.


    Not one McCoy moved. They stood there, the wind carrying the coppery smell of dried blood past their noses.
