Tristan couldn't take it anymore. He stormed off, his sleeves brushing the air as he moved. His anger seemed to stir the air around him, leaving the atmosphere thick with tension.Watching him leave, Natalie smirked. "Hmph. Let's see how long Daniel can keep acting so smug. Tristan won't let him off easily this time."Her lips curled upward, and her eyes gleamed with satisfaction, as if she could already picture Daniel's miserable downfall."Exactly, Natalie. Your meeting with Mr. Hale is just a few days away. If Daniel shows up and stirs up trouble, it could ruin everything!" Ethan said nervously, wiping the sweat from his brow.Natalie's expression darkened, her fists clenching at her sides. "If Tristan doesn't act soon, I'll handle Daniel myself. I'll make sure he's sent back to prison where he belongs.""Natalie, you've got to be careful. The partnership between the Clark family and the Hale family can't afford any mistakes!" Ethan reminded her, his tone cautious.Natalie shot him

"Don't flatter yourself," Daniel said with a cold snort, his voice dripping with disdain and indifference.His gaze was sharp and unyielding, like frost cutting straight through Natalie, void of even a hint of warmth.His jaw tightened, the muscles in his face twitching slightly with suppressed anger."Natalie, do you think this will make me give in? What a joke!" Daniel's voice dropped lower, each word laced with venom as if every syllable was an accusation aimed at her."Let me make one thing clear," he continued. "When I say something, I mean it. Everything you've done to me—I'll pay you back tenfold." His eyes flared with determination, the fire of revenge blazing within them. "It won't be long before you're the one begging me for forgiveness."Daniel's confidence filled the room, his tone carrying the weight of certainty as though he could already see her defeat.A cruel, icy smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, void of pity, only assurance in his inevitable victory.The win

The manager immediately bowed respectfully, his attitude shifting completely as if he had become a different person."So it's Ms. Foster. My deepest apologies for the earlier disrespect." The manager's voice dripped with flattery, his face stretched into an obsequious smile as he bent even lower.Yolanda waved her hand dismissively, signaling him to step aside, and then turned to Daniel.Her eyes softened, filled with warmth and concern as though the rest of the world had disappeared, leaving only the two of them."Mr. Cooper, don't stoop to his level. You're one of the top three shareholders of the group; of course, you can charge it to the account!" Yolanda's voice was clear and pleasant, carrying an undeniable authority."He's really a shareholder of Telicom Group? And not just any shareholder, but one of the top three?" The manager's face went pale, his body trembling as if struck by lightning.Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his legs felt like they might give out. His mind

"Daniel, stop pretending to be the good guy here. What could you possibly offer Chloe? You're nothing but a penniless nobody!" Weston's voice dripped with anger and disdain, his face contorted with frustration."I can give her respect and sincerity, something neither of you ever cared to offer. To you all, she's just a bargaining chip," Daniel said firmly, his tone unwavering.Chloe's eyes lingered on Daniel as he stood up for her. A storm of emotions swirled inside her, mixed with gratitude, worry, and a flicker of uncertainty about what lay ahead."Even if you talk big now, what can you actually change, Daniel? The Adams family isn't someone you can afford to cross," Weston shot back, his voice growing colder with each word.Daniel let out a sharp laugh. "The Adams family? They mean nothing to me." If he wanted to, he could crush them without a second thought.Weston sneered, shaking his head. "You're delusional. Keep dreaming, Daniel. You'll pay the price for your arrogance soon en

"Apologize to that bitch? Do you think that's even possible? Either you kill me today, or if I walk out of here alive, I'll make sure the Hayes family is wiped out!" Ellis's eyes burned with malice, his twisted expression making it look like he wanted to tear everyone in the room apart.Daniel sneered and stomped on Ellis's face. "Ellis, you're a goddamn monster."Yolanda stood nearby, her brows furrowed in anger. "You reckless idiot. Do you think we wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson?"Two men with cold, imposing auras stepped forward, their presence radiating an icy pressure.Ellis's chest tightened at the sight, but he forced himself to keep up the tough act. "Go ahead! The Adams family isn't someone you can mess with!"Daniel let out a cold snort. "Acting tough, huh? Let me tell you this—even if your father were here today, he wouldn't be able to save you.""Don't act recklessly! Or you'll regret it!" Ellis's forehead glistened with sweat, but he gritted his teeth.Yolanda looked
