Chapter 1533:
Joseph gave a quiet nod.
Annoyance flickered in Hamilton's eyes. “Can you believe it? | set Nikolas up with sof the most eligible
women in the country, and he turned every one of them away. Now he’s chasing after Daniela’s assistant? What
a disgrace.” He glared at Joseph and shouted, “By this ttomorrow, | expect you to dig up everything there is
to know about this Carol. Don’t miss a thing.”
Satisfied that he had given clear orders, Hamilton decided he should see Daniela in person. Uncharacteristically,
he chose a courteous approach this time.
By sunrise, Hamilton was already outside her office, brushing past the secretary’s attempts to stop him as he
strode inside.
“I made sure Cedric was out before coming here. There are a few things we should talk about privately—and the
sooner, the better,” he said.

| take it this isn’t a conversation you want him overhearing. Let's continue downstairs in the café.”
Surprise flickered across Hamilton's features. Daniela usually stood her ground, but today, she appeared
unusually accommodating.
Without another word, Hamilton followed Daniela out of the office and down to the café.
Inside the café, Hamilton wasted no tcutting to the heart of it.
“I'll be blunt. Think of this as a peace offering. | want you to end your marriage to Cedric. If this sum doesn’t
meet your expectations, you're free to suggest a number.”
A check slid across the table to Daniela, its amount written in bold—a million dollars.

An amused smile tugged at her lips. “I have to say, | didn’t realize Cedric meant that much to you.”
Hamilton's laugh cout cold and dismissive. “You know as well as | do that Cedric is sharp when it comes to
business. My family has plenty of money. If he leaves you and gets nothing, you'll walk away with the windfall.”
Her gaze drifted to the check, considering his words. The facts, uncomfortable as they were, rang true.

The truth, however, was that nothing about her marriage to Cedric fit into neat categories.
