Chapter 1678:
Ethan replied, “Something’s not adding up with this whole deal.”
Hamilton said flatly, “He's upstairs. Let's go hear what's being said.”
The other two nodded, and all three headed for the stairs, only to be stopped instantly.
Carol stepped in front of them. “Daniela’s in the middle of something critical. No one goes up.”
Hamilton stretched out an arm to hold Brad and Ethan back. “She’s right. You both shouldn't interfere with
whatever's going on up there. But I'm not like you.” He turned to Carol. “Daniela’s family to me. Why can’t |
listen in? They can stay back, but I'm going.”
He stepped forward but froze when Carol produced a blade from her coat, stopping him cold.
Upstairs, Daniela remained seated at the center of her study as Jules entered. She leaned back in her chair,
Cedric standing silently nearby.
Jules approached with a grin.
“Did you receive the money?” Daniela asked coolly.
Jules gave a nod. “Yes. It's all in—Josh’s fortune. Over a trillion in total. Daniela, you're a genius. | honestly
admire you!”

Daniela brushed off the praise. “I've already delivered what you asked for. It’s tyou delivered on your end.”
Jules laughed again. “Naturally. No problem.” Maybe her willingness earlier had fooled him into thinking she was
easy to sway.
He didn’t move, lowering himself slightly, feigning respect.
Still, he said, “You're incredibly resourceful. Things like this barely challenge you. Would it be possible to extend
your help further? You see, loads of Oiscoll’s citizens poured in money too. The total pot is massive, but for
someone like you, it's pocket change. Why not give all of the money to me?”
Daniela let out a faint scoff. “Don’t you think you are too greedy?”

Jules’ eyes gleamed with arrogance. “Not really. Opportunities like this don’t ctwice. | need to grab what |
can. Don’t you think so?”
Daniela’s tone cooled further. “And if | decline?”
Jules’ smugness didn’t falter. “You've already made a huge investment in me. What's the harm in going just a
little further?”
Daniela’s lips curved into a faint, almost dismissive smile. “Honestly, the money doesn’t matter to me. But |
don’t like being threatened.”
The moment Daniela finished speaking, her smile vanished, replaced by an unmistakable air of menace.
A chill crept down Jules’ spine. “You

the reason you cto Qiscoll. If you
don't agree to my terms, you'll never
