NovelFameChapter 1640:
Outside, dusk crept in, and the flickering screen reflected across Daniela’s expression.
She flipped the station without emotion, her speech still casual. “I've offered more than enough. You've got sixty
minutes—no grace period.”
Hamilton recalled that in sixty minutes, Daniela usually sat down for her evening meal.
“Sixty minutes?” Ethan's tone turned panicked. “Why not just tellto make a choice? How are you all so cold?
Do you seriously feel nothing, asking that of me? Daniela, you and Josh might as well be twins! Hamilton, can’t
you say something to Daniela?”
Hamilton absorbed his words and silently made his way to the kitchen.
Cornered, Ethan looked to Brad. “Any suggestions?”
Brad answered, “Josh didn’t exactly refuse you equity. If the loss feels overwhelming, maybe the right move is to
return to Josh's side? From thirty billion to six—quite the drop.”

While Brad initiated the call, Ethan stepped away and spoke into the receiver, “Hi? Lara, it’s me.”
Beyond the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, the landscape was in full view.
Ethan walked in circles with the phone, raking his fingers through his hair, his tone broken in places. “I can’t be
certain Daniela’s reliable! What if she burns through every cent of that six billion? You have no clue—I'm
strapped, and | can’t take risks! Ugh, I'm overwhelmed! What's the move? There's only six billion left!”
His voice echoed from the yard.
Brad looked over and noticed Daniela still lounging on the couch, her gaze fixed on the program. She appeared
serene, yet there was an undeniable air of control about her.
After a while, Ethan returned, tossed the mobile at Brad, and approached Daniela. His expression dropped as he
neared her. “Can we rework the terms? Lethave a little extra.”
Daniela didn’t shift. The stark glow of the television cast a cool sheen across her features, giving her an air of
detachment. “There’s no space for renegotiation. That's my final figure. Maybe put your confidence in Josh—
maybe then you wouldn't be stuck in this dilemma. I'm not going to pretend I’m ssaint.”
Ethan realized Daniela must have overheard parts of his outdoor conversation. Growing more upset, he asked, “If
| manage to recover it and invest in the new McCoy Group, can | get as many shares as Brad?”
“No,” she responded, without hesitation.
