The Strongest Curse Master-Chapter 308: Danny’s Change

"Alright, see you at dinner," Ace said, knowing his sister's love for dogs.

Lyra loved dogs and puppies more than humans. However, she never dared to get one herself because of their short lifespan. She couldn't go through that again. Their neighbors, the Johnsons, had a dog. Lyra loved it like her own, but she was devastated when the Johnsons had to send it to a farm. She even attended therapy for a few weeks to cope with that loss.

"Love you, little brother. Don't worry, I'll make sure to get your money's worth," Lyra said, hanging up the call and beginning to pack her things. She couldn't wait to spend time with the therapy dogs.

"Wow, she's so easy," Mandy said from the stairs, dressed in a formal gray suit, looking like a sexy predator ready to hunt.

She had talked to Lyra later that night and the following one, feeling guilty that she made them fight. She tried to persuade Lyra, but Lyra wouldn't listen to reason. Turned out, all she needed was her brother, not her nosy aunt who was way younger than her.

"Hey, that's my sister you're talking about, but yes, all it takes is a puppy to get her to throw the big L-word around like she's hopped up on painkillers," Ace said, knowing his sister's love for dogs was her biggest weakness.

"By the way, check your email. I've already decided on the location for the factory and sent you the list of properties you need to procure, along with the numbers and details for our finance, accounting, legal, and IT teams. If you need anything, contact them anytime, day or night," Ace informed Mandy that he needed her to do more than just get the lay of the local real estate market.

"IT team?" Mandy asked in confusion, wondering why they would need an IT team at this stage of their company.

"These guys can gather information on anyone or hack into anything. Not to brag, but they're better than the geeks Janice's family employs," Ace said, making sure Mandy knew she had all the resources she needed to complete the task he had assigned her.

These finance, accounting, legal, and IT teams that Ace boasted about were all one person—or a toy—Dame Wasp. However, he did hire a prestigious law firm just in case they needed a physical presence, like yesterday with David Rockworth.

As for security, Janice's guards would always be guarding her without her knowledge. That was a given, as Mandy was her best friend, and he had given them 100 billion dollars so that Elinor could keep Lilith, adding another monster to the McSuile family.

"Wow, it seems you've thought through everything. That's great," Mandy said, impressed. She felt that it was worth the risk, though the second thoughts about this venture wouldn't be erased from her mind until she had tasted the product.

"Just wait until you see the credit cap of your company credit card. It's still in the mail; you'll get it in three to four days," Ace said, satisfied that he had gained Mandy's recognition as a capable man. Ever since he had seen her deal with Gregory, he had come to admire her, so her recognition meant a lot to him, more than Mandy knew.

"Ace, do I get a company credit card too?" Danny asked, arriving dressed like a cowboy attending a hay festival.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" Mandy exclaimed, seeing Danny's attire. She was hiring an intern, not a cowboy who couldn't climb a horse because he fat.

"My suit doesn't fit; this is the only formals I had," Danny defended.

"Don't you have a white shirt and a pair of jeans?"

"Mom doesn't buy me white shirts because somehow I always get oil or sauce on them. And jeans? Do you even know me?"

"Damn it, we're stopping at the mall on the way," Mandy said in annoyance, leaving the house with heavy steps, taking her frustration out on the floors.

"The pants in my size are always out of stock at the mall!"

Mandy spun around to look Danny in the eyes, giving him a clear glance of her irritation.

"Hey, this is more embarrassing for me than you. I want to be helpful for once in my life. As my aunt, can't you be a bit more tolerant? Why do you keep throwing a fit at every damn thing?" Danny said, having reached his limit with Mandy. For once, he had the motivation to get off his ass and do something, but Mandy's reactions and hurtful words were chipping away at his motivation.

Seeing Danny stand up for himself against Mandy, both Ace and Mandy were shocked. It was no secret that Mandy was kind of a bully to Danny. Well, that was an understatement. She was his biggest bully closely beating Dan, they were even worse than the Rockworth twins to Danny.

She loved him, but also tormented him. And since his father loved her more than him, and she was his mother's baby sister, Mandy got away with it all. Danny could only stand up for himself, as clearly no one else was going to. And today, finally, he did, taking both Ace and Mandy by surprise.

"You sure you want to take that tone with me?" Mandy glared at Danny, slowly stepping toward him in silence, which felt like growing malice with every passing second.

"Well, that doesn't change the fact that what I said is correct, and you know it," Danny said, not backing down, but taking a few steps back. Despite her small stature, Mandy scared him a lot. After all, years of scars wouldn't heal within a morning.

"You think I'm being a bitch? Try getting a real job, then you'll know I'm being very tolerant. If it were someone else, they wouldn't just fire your ass; they'd make your life a misery until you stopped caring and gave them the perfect reason to fire you, ruining your career before it even started. My dear little nephew, the world outside is a lot crueler than I am. But thanks to this stunt of yours, I've decided to let you live an unadulterated version of it," Mandy informed Danny before storming out of the house.

"Phew," Danny sighed in relief thinking Mandy was done, but Ace shook his head knowing it wasn't.
