?Chapter 1303:


    Dani crossed her arms and threw Niks a look dripping with sarcasm. “This is the McCoy family’s heir? Hamilton is betting on the wrong horse.”


    Joseph’s face went ghost white at her words.


    Almost by instinct, his gaze lifted to the second-floor balcony. And like a ripple effect, every pair of eyes in the room followed.


    Never in his life had Hamilton been dealt such a crushing blow to his pride. The forced smile on his face froze, his expression turning pale and rigid like cracked porcin.


    Dani shifted her gaze to the McCoy brothers, her voice steady. “It’s time to honor your word. Damon, you’re done vying for the McCoy family’s leadership.” A sly smirk danced on Dani’s lips as her eyes scanned the room. “Now, who was it that said if I won, he’d bark like a dog?”


    Joseph flushed with unease and quickly stepped in. “Ms. Harper, Mr. McCoy requests your presence upstairs for a private word.”


    Dani responded coolly, “He wants a word with me, yet thinks I should be the one going to him? What kind of twisted logic is that? I’m standing right here. If he’s got something to say, he cane and say it to my face.”


    Joseph’s brows knitted together, torn between duty and difort.


    This woman was a storm he hadn’t prepared for. Impossible to control.


    Dropping his voice to a hush, he warned, “This is Oiscoll. No one has ever dared to go against Mr. McCoy’s will. You’d be wise to go and see him.”


    Dani let out a softugh. “Maybe no one used to challenge him. But now? Someone dares.”


    Joseph let out a long, weary sigh.


    By the time he reached the second floor, Hamilton’s face was a thundercloud of fury.

    “Mr. McCoy, Dani’s not someone to underestimate. She’s barely been in Oiscoll a few days, and she’s already shattered your sons’ dignity.”


    Hamilton rose to his feet and began making his way down the stairs, his expression grim.


    Joseph paused, uncertainty flickering in his eyes. “Mr. McCoy, are you really going downstairs to meet her?”


    Hamilton’s stare turned cial. “Then you go bring her up—if you can.”


    Joseph pressed his lips together, silently admitting defeat.


    By the time Hamilton reached the bottom step, Duran had already been humiliated—reduced to barking like a dog before the crowd.


    The McCoy rtives struggled to hold back theirughter, hands barely muffling their snickers. Duran’s face burned a furious red.


    Niks’s fists tightened at his sides, knuckles pale with fury. “You’ll regret this, Dani!”


    Just as Dani was about to respond, she noticed Joseph approaching her with a smile. “Ms. Harper, Mr. McCoy is downstairs waiting in the study. With so many people here and the McCoy family being sorge, it would be best to discuss certain matters privately.” Dani stepped ahead without hesitation.


    Cedric and Carol immediately fell in behind her.
