?Chapter 1332:


    Cedric stayed focused on the build while Dani managed everything on the business end.


    Carol came rushing in, breathless. “Dani! The hotels around here are all iming to be booked, but I checked—none of them are full. I found out it’s Niks. He’s the one pressuring them not to take in our crew.”


    Daniughed lightly. “Childish.”


    Carol crossed her arms. “Maybe so, but it’s working. Niks still has pull in Oiscoll. People listen when he stirs up trouble. We’re stuck without ces to eat or sleep. You’ve got to fix this.”


    Dani’s eyes moved to the pile of suitcases stacked by the entrance. She turned to Carol. “The upper floors used to be a hotel. Prep the space for our crew. And those folks we paid earlier? Locals. Not tied to any business groups. Go to their neighborhoods and start hiring for cleaning, meals, and kitchen work. If they don’t cut it, we’ll rece themter.”


    Carol’s face lit up. “Perfect! I just talked to an older woman earlier—she said she used to be a chef. I’ll go get her now! Dani, you always know what to do!”


    By the end of the day, the workers were housed starting from the twentieth floor. The top experts stayed in Dani’s vi.


    Carol rallied the locals into a team. They worked fast, and the whole ce buzzed with energy.


    Once again, Niks had yed his hand—and lost.


    Hamilton’s hand struck Niks across the face again.


    “This is what you’ve learned from me after all these years? Pathetic, childish tricks! Niks, you’ve be nothing but an embarrassment.”


    Niks clenched his jaw. “It’s not my fault—it’s Dani. She’s too cunning!”

    “Is that your excuse? Why not just admit you’repletely outmatched?” Hamilton looked disgusted. “She flipped your trap into an advantage. And you’re still standing here, trying to defend yourself? If this is your idea of leadership, I fear McCoy Group will be doomed under your lead.”


    Niks opened his mouth, ready to exin, but Hamilton had already lost patience and refused to listen to another word.


    He watched helplessly as Hamilton headed to the building across the street.


    Hamilton wasn’t alone. Behind him walked a team of design consultants. Dani stood by the entrance, and Hamilton gave her a polite smile. “Mind giving me a tour?”


    Before she could speak, Carol stepped in fast. “The ce isn’t done. There’s nothing to show you. Your games didn’t work, so now you show up trying to act friendly?”


    No one else had ever dared to speak to Hamilton like that. His face darkened. But he didn’t snap. He kept his temper in check.


    He was still curious. How did Dani manage all of this using just a domestic team? Frankly, he didn’t buy it.


    The building looked iplete to him. It didn’t make sense. Hamilton gave a small nod toward the experts trailing him.


    They understood and began moving through the site.


    Dani let them roam freely while she kept her focus on the documents in her hands.


    After a short inspection, Hamilton asked, “What’s your take?”
