His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were sharp and ice-cold. Once again, the crowd buzzed. Phones cup. Cameras clicked. The bet had captured every bit of attention.

Each move was calculated, smooth as silk, drawing gasps from the crowd.
Impressed voices began to ripple through the onlookers.
"Gambling might be his only talent, but no one can top Damon at it." "Challenging him? Daniela must be out of her mind." "She probably thinks winning a horse race makes her invincible. One win, and suddenly she believes she's unstoppable. She's in for a rude awakening." "This one's already decided. Just wait-Daniela will be the one begging for mercy." The whispers swelling around them grew even louder.
The McCoy brothers wore smug grins, already celebrating a win that hadn't happened yet.
Nikolas rolled the dice between his fingers, lips curled in a smug grin. "I'll offer you a way out, Daniela. Kneel right here, right now. Apologize in front of everyone. Do that, and maybe I'll let this slide." Across from Damon, Daniela leaned back in her chair, her voice even and sharp. “You really love hearing yourself talk, don't you?" Damon's temper snapped.

Let the match-" Before the words could leave his mouth, Charles rushed over, nearly stumbling as he stopped beside Daniela. "Please reconsider. Damon's no amateur. If you lose here, the consequences will be critical." Desperation was etched across his face.
He had already burned bridges with the rest of the family, placing every last hope on Daniela to pull him through.
If Daniela ended up losing this gamble and missed her opportunity to enter McCoy Group, his chances of becoming the heir would vanish completely.
Charles begged with genuine concern, "Daniela, please don't act impulsively. There's no need to take it this far. It's just a simple game. Even if you win, it won't carry much weight. Damon is known for beingunpredictable/ Even if he loses, there's no guarantee he'll actually give up control of McCoy Group. But you're not like him. You were once the wealthiest person on the planet, the leader of Elite Lux. That kind of status means your word can't be taken lightly. Damon knows this, which is why he's pushing forward without holding back. Please, hearout. Don't take this gamble with Damon. It's better to swallow a bit of pride now than to face public humiliation later, don't you think?" Charles believed he was making a convincing case.
