NovelApexChapter 1411: A spike of nerves shot through Damon as soon as Hamilton's question landed. Had he actually uncovered anything? Honestly, no.
The only thing that stood out was Cedric's remarkable talent in the kitchen—his homemade meals easily rivaled those whipped up by his father's chefs. He'd also picked up on the fact that Daniela clearly favored Cedric, showing a warmth toward him that she never extended to him or Nikolas. On top of that, he'd realized Daniela was more than a gambling prodigy-her gaming skills were top-tier too, leaving Damon genuinely impressed on more than one occasion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOverall, life in Daniela's place was nothing short of comfortable—apart from that single drawback. He'd grown so at ease, he'd nearly forgotten he had a family of his own to worry about.
Hamilton's sneer cut through the haze. "Damon, unless you've got something real to share, pack up your things and chome!" Damon nearly blurted out a firm "No!" before he caught himself. Back at home, his brothers were like cash- printing machines. Growing up, he'd never had genuine friends-anyone close to him always saw the McCoy nfirst, not the person underneath. Here, though, everything played out differently. Nobody cared that he was a McCoy. He didn't have to fake an interest in profit margins just to win his father's approval. He could finally drop the act.
For once, he got to be just himself.
Whenever Daniela had downtime, she'd invite him to play dice and even taught him stricks. He relished every second in this villa. Nothing could make him go back now.
Putting on a show, he protested, "Father, you've gotall wrong! I've always looked out for the family's interests. Lately, I've even picked up whispers that Daniela's gearing up for smassive new business venture." Hamilton narrowed his eyes, unconvinced. "What kind of business are we talking about?" Damon forced a smile and replied, "From what I've gathered, she's setting her sights on our mining business now." Every story starts at gain ovels;The McCoy family had risen to power by dominating the mining trade, their empire cemented by the vast resources unique to Discoll's landscape. Ruthless strategies and a singular hold on those mineral-rich lands had allowed them to crush the competition for years.
Hamilton's eyes narrowed dangerously, his words slicing through the line. “So Daniela's thinking that big, huh? Fine. Keep tabs on her and report everything." "Understood," Damon answered quickly. "I'll end the call now. Take care, Father." Hamilton's own experience had taught him never to underestimate Daniela-her knack for turning anything profitable into a gold mine demanded his full attention.
With a curt command, he redirected his men's focus to the mines before summoning Alexander to his side.
"Let's be clear-I didn't place you in charge of a branch company to line my pockets. The McCoy family's wealth isn't exactly in short supply."
Hamilton lounged in the chairman's seat, his eyes cold but radiating quiet authority
Alexander bristled with frustration.
"I'm doing my best. But every tI try to make headway with Daniela, your two sons pop up to block me. I can barely get close to her."
