Chapter 1556:
Annoyance flickered across Nikolas’ face. Daniela’s confidence just made him more anxious.
Spinning toward Cedric, Nikolas nearly pleaded, “This is crazy! Talk ssense into them, please! We've only
got thirty minutes before those guys get here. They don’t mess around—I’ve seen what they do. Breaking a
man’s neck isn’t even hard for them!”
Nikolas’ gaze darted over to Carol, worry written all over his features. With her size, he figured she'd be no
match if those guards ccrashing in.
Cedric, catching the desperation in Nikolas’ eyes, couldn't help but laugh. “Me? You know | have zero authority
here. Whatever my wife says, goes. Still, I'd suggest you leave now. If this turns ugly, it's not going to end well.”

Honestly, Cedric wanted to tell Nikolas that he and Damon would only slow them down. But seeing Nikolas so on
edge, he just couldn't say it outright.
Nikolas scanned the group, confused by their unshaken calmness. “Are you all seriously not worried about dying?
Not even a little?”
His entire life, he’d met all kinds of people who would do anything to save their own lives. Self-preservation was
almost a given—at least until now. Yet somehow, these three stood out. They were the only people he'd ever
seen who didn’t flinch at the thought of dying.
“Relax. We'll handle things here. You and Damon should go. Cback the day after tomorrow,” Daniela said as
she waved off his concern with a reassuring nod.
Without another word, she headed outside and started dialing for a car, glancing back to say, “Carol, get Nikolas
and Damon in the car.”
Carol wasted no tpushing Nikolas and Damon into the car, then snapped the door closed behind them.
Nikolas didn’t even manage a protest before the car's engine revved, and they tore down the driveway at rapid
speed.
The sudden acceleration nearly sent Nikolas sprawling across the seat. “Wait, stop! | can’t leave right now!”

The driver, a burly man with a wild beard, just grinned. “Sorry, kid. Orders are orders. I'm supposed to deliver
you both safely to your father’s place.”
Panic rose in Nikolas’ voice as he said, “If we don’t go back, we’ll miss our chance!”
Unbothered, the driver pressed harder on the gas pedal.
A few moments later, the man glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, “So, which one of you is Nikolas?”
“I am,” Nikolas snapped, barely containing his irritation. “What's it to you?”
The driver shot him a quick look and nodded as if he'd just checked something off a list. “Alright. Got it.”
After that, he said nothing more, letting the silence stretch.
At home, Hamilton stormed around the courtyard, shouting into his phone. “What do you mean you failed to pick
them up? What happened?”
Hamilton's tirade was cut short when a car stopped outside the house, screeching to a halt.
A flash of recognition crossed Hamilton's face when he spotted Daniela’s car. Jumping to conclusions, he decided
Daniela had tossed Nikolas and Damon aside to save her own skin.
Years of surviving among the McCoy family had shown him nothing but backstabbing and ruthless ambition. In
his mind, Daniela wouldn't hesitate for a second to cast Nikolas and Damon aside if it meant saving herself.
