Chapter 1649:
He was gulping for air, chest heaving as if the room itself were closing in.
For a heartbeat, the McCoy family stood frozen, caught in a tense silence. Ethan snapped out of his shock first,
darting between them and raising both hands defensively. “Daniela...”
“Con, we're not here for blood. We just want the money back. Can't you ease up a little?”
Hamilton rushed forward, his expression strained. “Daniela, maybe take it easy, okay? Think about the babies
you're carrying.”
At last, Daniela unclenched her grip, letting Josh’s arm drop.
He collapsed onto the floor, every inch of him slick with humiliation and sweat. Fixing her with a glare, he spat
out, “Touchagain and see what happens. You really think you'll get Ethan's money out of me? Keep
dreaming. If you're so brave, killright here in Oiscoll!”
Daniela’s lips curled into an amused, almost lazy smile as she stooped and plucked the fallen dagger off the
floor, twirling it once between her fingers.
Josh's expression contorted, a violent tic flashing across his cheek at the sight. Hamilton immediately rushed in,
desperation in his voice. “Daniela, let's not do this here. Josh might be an asshole, but he’s still family. The new
McCoy Group barely has its footing. We don’t need blood on our hands right now, do we?” After that, he shot a
pointed glare at Josh and demanded, “Why the hell did you pick a fight with her? Are you trying to get yourself

Meanwhile, Josh's secretary leaned close, voice barely above a whisper. “Sir, you'd do well to remember—she’s
the mercenary leader. Watch your mouth.” Josh ground his teeth, fury simmering beneath his skin, but powerless
to retaliate.
All he could manage was a shaky threat. “Daniela, don’t think this is over. I'll make you regret it.” With that, Josh
stormed off.
He hunched over, shoulders tight, slinking toward the door as if he could slip away unnoticed. His retreat drew
barely muffled laughter from his siblings, who found his desperation oddly satisfying.

But Daniela’s icy voice sliced through the room. Without raising her head, she spoke flatly. “Did | say you could
go?” The rain drummed against the window, deepening the chill that clung to her words. “No one’s leaving this
office until we're finished here.”
Josh spun around, his temper snapping. “Daniela, are you out of your mind? Do you even realize where you are
right now? This is Oiscoll! Maybe you should think twice before pushing your luck. I'm warning you—letwalk
out while I'm still willing to be civil!”
Hamilton edged closer to Daniela, lowering his voice in a hurried plea. “Hey, maybe we should cool off. This isn’t
the right moment for a showdown. We can sort it out later, can’t we?”
Brad, visibly rattled, clutched his chest as if steadying his heartbeat. “He’s right, Daniela. When Josh gets like
this, he loses it completely. If we take this any further, nobody wins.”

resignation, finally Jergee to Speak
