Chapter 1491
Chapter 1491:
Now, everything had changed. Cedric would never accept being protected from the sidelines.
After turning the situation over in her mind, Daniela realized there was only one real path left. She would have to
see just how much pressure Hamilton could take before he finally gave up the truth.
Meanwhile, Hamilton's anger was impossible to hide. If Daniela wanted a fight, he was more than willing to give
her one.
He spun around and snapped at his secretary, “Get Richard on the phone. Now.”
It didn’t take long for the call to connect.
“Put Alexander through,” Hamilton instructed, his patience wearing thin. The moment Alexander answered,
Hamilton's tone turned icy.
“I ran the test myself, Alexander. Turns out, Daniela’s not afraid of heights at all. Why didn’t you tellthe real
story back then?”
He recalled the restaurant scene. They had chosen a rotating rooftop place. When the table drifted outward,
suspending them dozens of floors above the ground, Daniela barely blinked—her attention fixed entirely on the
divorce agreement.

He couldn’t deny it anymore. His guess had missed the mark completely. Whatever fear haunted Daniela, it
wasn't heights.
“Listen, Alexander, you and Daniela are finished. No matter what you think you're protecting, I'm going to find
out the truth sooner or later. If you talk now, you might actually walk away with something. Think about it.”
Nothing but silence answered him.
Hamilton continued, “Ten million. That's my offer. Let's not pretend you're in any position to turn it down.
Combine that with what you got for your company, and you and your father can live out your days in comfort.
This is a one-tdeal. Don't be foolish.”
Still, Alexander kept quiet.

Richard interjected, “Mr. McCoy, givea second. | need a word with my son.” Hamilton could make out
Richard’s weary voice in the background.
“Let it go, Alexander. Whatever you and Daniela had is over. You can’t win her over anymore. But you can help
your family—me, yourself, all of us. We need this money. Protecting her secret won't win you any gratitude.
She’s moved on. We're not part of her world now.”
Tears slipped down Alexander's face, hot and unstoppable.
After a long silence, Alexander finally said, “Fifty million. If you want Daniela’s secret, that’s the price. Take it or
leave it. If you cback later, it'll cost more.”
A low laugh rumbled from Hamilton.
“Even now, you know how to negotiate.”
Not missing a beat, Alexander replied,
voice razor-sharp, “You helped,tum

only goes up.” The content is on
