NovelApexChapter 1408: A pang of envy tugged at Nikolas, heavy and unshakable. However, Cedric was staring intently at him, and Daniela had zero interest in him.
That realization dragged Nikolas deeper into his own silence. Tonight's auction had been more than a show of wealth-it was a statement of Daniela's power. For the first time, people saw Daniela standing toe-to-toe with Hamilton.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the days that followed, former rivals of McCoy Group sought to work with Daniela.
Hamilton, overcwith fury, smashed a cup in his spacious office and addressed the board of directors. "Do something about this! I pay you all generous salaries, and yet you show no urgency over McCoy Group losing its grip on the market? Find a way to force Daniela out of Discoll! Restore McCoy Group's full dominance and unchallenged control!" Red crept up Hamilton's neck, his fury boiling just beneath the surface. Around the table, no one dared to meet his eyes. A hushed voice finally rose from the back, bitter and resigned. "This all started with the auction. If you hadn't lost, we wouldn't be bleeding clients. And even your son has joined Daniela. Everyone's talking about it." Business meetings had always bored Damon, but the moment he caught the final words of the hushed conversation next to him, a spark lit in his eyes.
Hamilton fixed a sharp gaze on his remaining sons. His tone turned firm. "One day, McCoy Group will be yours. If you want to keep it standing, you better start proving you're capable." Three of them jumped in, tossing out rushed suggestions to appease him. Meanwhile, Damon simply leaned back, an unreadable grin settling across his face.
Something about it rubbed Hamilton the wrong way. The longer he stared, the more his unease grew. Finally, he hurled his cane aside with a loud crack. "We're losing control of this company, and you're smiling? Damon, what the hell do you find so amusing?" A sudden shift in attention jolted Damon-everyone around the table was looking at him.
Feel inspired by gVlnovs.☐☐☐ That flicker of pressure ignited something. A wild idea sparked in his mind, so bold he almost applauded himself for thinking it.
Breaking into a grin, he announced, "I've just cup with the perfect plan!" Hamilton rolled his eyes, unimpressed. "What is it?" Unfazed, Damon continued, "Nikolas already jumped ship and joined Daniela, right? So why don't we send someone to infiltrate from our end? Plant an insider. Dig up whatever she's hiding and use that to bring her down. Sound like a plan?" The proposal, while reckless, wasn't entirely without merit. Hamilton leaned forward slightly, his scowl easing just a touch as he considered it.
Without waiting for a response, Damon pushed back his chair and stood tall. "If this mission needs someone daring, someone unexpected, I'm your best bet."
Whatever interest had just flickered in Hamilton's eyes vanished in an instant. His tone dropped like a blade. "You? You couldn't even decipher a balance sheet. If a secret walked up and introduced itself, you'd still miss it."
Damon wore a look of frustration as he said, "Exactly! My incompetence is my strength here. Daniela would never suspect someone like me. That's the genius of it."
