Yet, Daniela remained composed.

Daniela responded coolly, "If he insists, I'll concede the assets." Charles was dumbfounded, momentarily speechless. He glanced to the villa, where Cedric was engrossed in his phone, and whispered to Daniela, “After your divorce, do you plan to remarry? Could you ever see yourself with someone like me?" Daniela responded with a sarcastic smile.
Charles tightened his lips, accepting the unlikelihood of a relationship with her. "But you'll still support me, correct?" "It's merely a partnership of convenience," Daniela clarified.
Charles nodded in understanding. "My father will announce his retirement from McCoy Group at next week's board meeting. He'll introduce the new CEO then. We have just one week left." Daniela nodded back, her demeanor as cool and measured as ever.
Charles found Daniela's independence and secrecy infuriating.
It was impossible to predict her moves or influence her decisions. She appeared all-knowing, yet she shared nothing, compelling others to merely execute her commands without ever being true partners in her schemes. This feeling of powerlessness reminded him of his past frustrations with Hamilton. Now, Daniela evoked the ssense of helplessness in him.
Out of Daniela's sight, Charles' expression hardened, his eyes flashing with a menacing resolve. He concluded that Daniela was too dangerous to be left unchecked. He detested being a pawn in someone else's game.

Once Charles departed, Cedric hurried to Daniela's side. "Charles is a problem. He's not reliable and won't be easy to control," he warned her.
As Daniela began ascending the stairs, tired from the day's events, Cedric stepped in front of her, blocking her way.
Without missing a beat, she responded, “His obedience isn't necessary. I only need a valid pretext to infiltrate McCoy Group. Once Charles becomes the new CEO of McCoy Group, I can join the group as a technical consultant. Whether Charles ultimately secures his position as the successor doesn't matter to me."
