Chapter 1540:
One of them muttered, “We've got nothing to talk about with you. We cfor Cedric.”
Daniela nodded. Thinking they had finally won, the McCoys straightened up smugly—until she turned to the
security chief.
“Ensure the entrance is tightly secured. No one associated with the McCoys—or anyone sent on their behalf—
gets in.”
The head of security responded loudly, “Understood!”
Defeated and grumbling, the McCoy family left, unable to hide their embarrassment.

The speaker was Alison McCoy, her face plastered with a fake smile.
Hamilton let out a cold chuckle. “Am | being too tic? Haven't you all been plotting to pushout for
