?Chapter 1292:


    “Well, it seems he’s not ready to be reasoned with. In that case…” She reached for the microphone, fingers already tightening around the handle.


    “Hold on!” said Joseph, thrusting his phone into Dani’s hand. “Mr. McCoy’s on the line. He wants to speak with you.”


    Without a word, Dani epted the phone and pressed it to her ear.


    Hamilton’s voice came through steady and low. “Dani.”


    She stayed silent, eyes fixed ahead.


    After a pause, Hamilton continued. “Niks and Cedric are brothers. Niks has suffered enough humiliation today. Dragging this out helps no one, especially not Cedric. Like it or not, he’s still one of us. You wouldn’t want to be the reason this whole family gets dragged through the mud, would you? I know you’re strong, and I know Cedric leans on you more than anyone. But no matter how tough we are, people still need family. This one’s on Niks, and I’ll take care of it. There are too many eyes on us right now. Let it go—for my sake.”


    Not a word came from Dani.


    Hamilton added, “Since Niks is the one who messed up, it’s only right that we take responsibility. I understand you’re here in Oiscoll to investigate that explosion from years ago. If you’re willing to let this situation go, I’ll open every door in McCoy Group for you. No strings attached.”


    An arch of the brow was Dani’s only response.


    With a quietugh, Hamilton continued, “Rx. This is between the two of us. Cedric’s got nothing to do with it. I’m keeping him out of this.” Then the line went dead.


    Niks lost it. “Dani! I don’t care what my father promised you. I won’t stand for it! I’m not letting you anywhere near McCoy Group!”


    Dani looked at him with a calm, knowing smile. “You don’t get to make that decision. You’re not in charge yet.”


    C???????????? ??t g??l??ov?ls.??○??


    Without waiting for a reply, she lifted the mic again, turned to the crowd, and smiled. “Just a little entertainment, everyone. That’s all it was. We’re done here.”


    The audience sank into a hush, their disappointment heavy in the air. Without hesitation, Dani passed the microphone to the nearest person and turned to Niks. “I can only imagine how often your father lies awake at night, wondering how he ended up with a son as brainless as you.”


    That struck a nerve. Niks flew into a rage.


    “You think that’s funny? Say it again, I dare you! I swear, I’m going to kill you!”


    Even though the confrontation seemed to be over, the reporters kept their cameras aimed and recording.


    So in the end, what did everyone see? Dani showed him mercy. And what did Niks do with it? He tried to get back at her. No gratitude. Just violence.


    That day, a reporter made a bluntment. “There have always been rumors about McCoy Group being built on fairness and integrity. But seeing Niks today, it looks like he can’t even stand the thought of losing. He won’t let anyone else win, either. And it isn’t just anyone hepeted with. It’s his sister-inw. As a woman, Dani should have been treated with some basic decency. But Niks didn’t even manage that. This doesn’t match the image he spent years building. Honestly, it raises a lot of questions. Maybe all this time, Niks was just hiding his true nature—cold, vtile, and willing to do anything to keep his hands on the McCoy fortune. And here’s the real concern. McCoy Group isn’t just somepany. It drives Oiscoll’s economy. If Niks takes the reins, are we looking at financial disaster for the whole country?”
