Daniela’s tone was serene as she delivered her ultimatum.
“Each day you resist, the company will be shut down. | can absorb such losses. Can you?”
Caiden glared at her, incredulous.
“What the hell, Daniela? You're more vicious than | ever thought you could be!” The cost of shutting down would
bleed the company of hundreds of thousands daily. Caiden’s stake in this venture was personal—he aimed to lay
down a sturdy groundwork for Joyce's offspring.
“This is standard protocol during a takeover.
You've been running this firm for a decade. Don’t tellyou're clueless about how a handover works.

Rising, Daniela exuded an icy demeanor that made Caiden instinctively recoil. Without a flicker of emotion, she
approached him, locking eyes briefly, her expression unreadable.

“By tomorrow, anyone whose nis crossed out better be out of Harper Group. | don’t want to see their faces

Daniela in accusation, sputtered, “Who the hell do you think you are? You can’t just fire us! Do you realize how
