Chapter 1298: Still, Daniela offered only a soft smile as she sidestepped him. "Move. You're blocking me.” His jaw clenched as he stepped back. "Fine. But don't ccrying towhen you lose. By then, it'll be too late." Out of options, he slumped back into his chair.
Damon sneered. "Charles, it's a shyou're not on a leash." Kohen interjected, "Charles, honestly, what's the point? Daniela's about to lose, and you can't save her." Duran leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "That's right. The moment she loses, I'm snapping a photo of her face. People need to see just how bad her luck really is."

I actually thought she had guts, challenging someone like Damon." "Just give it a minute. Daniela's going to lose-hard."
