The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 949

"If I let her go now, you won't give it to me. I need the formula in my hands first," Gregory counters, trying to sound reasonable. "Relax. I might be ruthless, but I keep my word."

"Release her and bring her to me, or the deal is completely off," Danny growls. He refuses to yield an inch. He is fully prepared to burn the entire place to the ground and take everyone with him if necessary.

Gregory knows exactly how much Tara means to Danny. Feeling the suffocating, predatory aura radiating from the man, he hesitates. Unsure of how to proceed, he shoots a desperate glance toward the shadows. A subtle nod from the darkness gives him the green light.

"Fine. I'll hand her over, but you give me the formula the second she's with you. Understood?" Gregory barks, trying to assert dominance, completely unaware of how pathetic he looks. He gestures to his men to cut Tara loose and shove her toward Danny.

Danny instantly pulls her behind him, his large frame shielding her entirely. Gregory isn't worried about them escaping. They are surrounded by heavily armed mercenaries in the shadows. Even if they had wings, they wouldn't make it out alive.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Danny asks frantically, his hands tightly gripping hers, grounding her with his warmth.

"I'm fine. They didn't dare."

Gregory glares at them like a hawk. "I gave you the girl. Now hand over the formula."

"Are you suffering from amnesia? The deal was that the boss shows his face, and then we talk."

"You—!" Gregory nearly explodes at the sheer audacity. They are hopelessly outnumbered and facing imminent death, yet Danny is still barking orders like he owns the place.
