?Chapter 1314:


    His hands balled into fists, his body coiled with tension. Anger and shame surged through him.


    “If you persist in this madness, there will be no ce for you in McCoy Group or our family. How could I have raised such an idiot?” Hamilton continued.


    Niks dropped to his knees.


    Hamilton’s expression darkened, his heart heavy. He couldn’t deny that he had always favored the children who remained by his side.


    But if Niks kept down this reckless path, Hamilton would undoubtedly reconsider the session.


    “Niks, I’ve told you before—fight for the inheritance if you must, but never harm your siblings. Did my words fall on deaf ears?”


    Niks’s fists tightened into hard knots as he silently weathered over an hour of scathing insults.


    As he stepped out of the room, a painful bump swelled on his forehead, the result of a brutal blow.


    Damon lingered in the doorway, his eyes cold as ice, unblinking and sharp. “You nearly brought tragedy to McCoy Group, trying to kill five people! Have youpletely lost your mind in your madness to be the heir?”


    Niks’s expression remained frozen. “What’s the matter? Don’t you want to be the heir?”


    “Of course I want it! But I’d never reduce human lives to a mere joke!”


    “Is that so? Well, that’s where we differ. That’s the difference between you and me, the future head of McCoy Group.”


    Damon locked eyes with Niks, his voice ice-cold. “You’re unworthy of being the heir of McCoy Group.”


    Niks’s anger red in an instant. “Oh? And who do you think is fit for it? You?”

    Damon’s voice rose in indignation. “Dani is the only one truly worthy!”


    Niks let out a scoffingugh. “What absurdity is this? Dani? Is she even part of the McCoy family?”


    Damon shot back without hesitation, “Cedric is part of the McCoy family, and Dani is his wife. That makes her one of us. Do you know who stepped forward and saved us in the midst of the crisis? It was Dani! Without her level-headed and decisive actions, McCoy Group would have faced a catastrophic scandal.”


    Niks scoffed, dismissing the concern. “McCoy Group is far too powerful to crumble over something so trivial. You’re overthinking it.”


    Damon quickly realized that further conversation with Niks was futile.


    Frustrated, he shot a message to his brothers. “I nearly died today! All thanks to Niks!”


    Niks’s hand shot out, seizing Damon by the cor. “Take it back!”


    Damon shot him a fiery re. “I’m simply speaking the truth!”


    With a swift motion, he shrugged off Niks’s grip and stormed off, not sparing a single nce behind him.


    Niks stood frozen, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white.


    It was all Dani’s fault!
