TimeNovelChapter 1447: Hamilton's composure finally shattered. With a howl of rage, he hurled his phone across the room, shattering it against the wall.
That very sday, McCoy Group launched a ruthless assault on Nikolas' latest business venture. The attack was vicious and unyielding, fracturing Nikolas' financial lifeline and leaving him just a hair's breadth from declaring bankruptcy right then and there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor the first time, a cold, consuming fear gripped him-he'd almost lost a fortune that wasn't even his, but entrusted to him by Daniela. Panic rising in his throat, he rushed into Daniela's office, complexion drained of color.
A heavy sense of defeat weighed on his shoulders. He'd never overseen anything of this scale before, and now he was staring down a disaster he couldn't control. If he were back at home, Hamilton's look of scorn would be unbearable-he could already picture that icy, disappointed gaze.
Self-loathing churned inside him, dark enough that a part of him wished he could simply vanish rather than face the fallout.
"Letsee what's gone wrong." Daniela barely glanced up from her work, her tone impossibly calm. "Sit. Givea minute. We'll find out what's broken and see how to fix it." Her collected composure caught Nikolas off guard. Carol, quietly attentive, passed him a glass of water.
His hands shook as he accepted it, white-knuckled and tense.
Carol gave him a reassuring smile. “There's really no need to panic. Isn't this just how business goes?" Nikolas let out a weary breath. "This is a lesson from my father-my mistake to fix. I missed something important and left an opening he could exploit." Carol, completely unfazed by the tension, brushed his concern aside. "You're not superhuman, you know. You've been working yourself to the bone. I heard you've barely slept. Look at those dark circles." But Nikolas was in no mood to dwell on exhaustion. His attention remained locked on Daniela, searching her face for any sign of hope. He never would have imagined, not in a million years, that Daniela would bechis last hope, the person he was desperate to lean on. Life had a twisted sense of humor.

Once they'd hashed out the details, she turned to Nikolas and laid out a plan. "Your father knows you inside and out. That's why he knows where to strike. Give this method a shot-if it fails, cstraight back toand we'll figure out the next step together.” There wasn't the slightest note of blin her voice-only calm assurance. Still, Nikolas was consumed by guilt, unable to shake off his own self-reproach.
Catching the storm in his eyes, Daniela smiled. "Take a breath and trust yourself. I know you can handle this."
Afterwards, Nikolas stepped into the hallway, only to be intercepted by Kohen. "So this is it You're just going to settle for playing Daniela's lackey now?"
Nikolas shot him a frigid glare, the coldness in his eyes answering for him. Unlike Damon, he couldn't be so easily controlled: A cold sheer Auldn't twisted his lips as he faced Kohen. Fir "Kohen, even if I walk away, Father would never hand the reins to you. Do you know why? You don't have the backbone or the brains for it."
