FakeNovelChapter 1295: Kohen's patience snapped. "What's with the attitude? I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?" Before Kohen could say more, Damon cut in with a forced laugh. "Relax, Kohen.

Daniela caught on to what Nikolas was thinking right then. She smiled and retorted, “That's a pretty bold move. What are you willing to risk?" Nikolas was taken aback, not anticipating such a bold response.
