Chapter 1557:
Maybe, he thought, she had even orchestrated this, leaving them behind to make the McCoy family turn on each
other. The idea alone sent his temper soaring. He stormed toward the vehicle, every step brimming with anger.
Deep furrows lined his face, twisting into a mask of pure fury. Tight fists shaking, Hamilton shouted at the closed
car door, “Daniela! You're nothing but a schemer—hiding behind my sons like they're shields! Get out of here! |
won't spare you!”
As his words fell, the door creaked open.
“Only someone like you would leap to that conclusion,” the driver scoffed, his voice dripping with contempt. “Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarper doesn’t stoop to your level. Not even close.”
The driver turned to Nikolas and Damon, not bothering to mask his indifference. “Step out now.”
Nikolas and Damon exited the car, shetched into every line of their faces. The vehicle pulled away
immediately after. The driver had no intention of lingering or seeking help.
Hamilton could barely process what he was seeing. He finally asked, “So Daniela sent you back? Where's
Cedric?”
“Cedric isn’t coming,” Nikolas answered with a chill in his voice. “He would rather die than leave Daniela’s side.
Neither of them would ever betray the people they care about.”
A sneer curled Hamilton's lip. “And you really think any of that is true? They sent you away because you refused
to stay put. And don’t forget—the only reason you're treated this well is the McCoy nand what it stands for.
Don’t ever forget what this family’s done for you.”
“The McCoy family made you who you are. Don’t start thinking you're anything without us.” Insults poured out
as Hamilton lectured, never missing a beat.
“That's your story?” Nikolas shot back. “You think Daniela fears your power, and that's why we're here?”

A hard edge returned to Hamilton's glare. “Isn’t that obvious?”
A humorless laugh escaped Nikolas. “You've got it all wrong. Damon and | offered to stay behind—we wanted to
protect them. Daniela worried that we would get killed. That's why she insisted we leave. Both of us argued to
stay, but they refused. Can't you see? They didn’t want us as shields. Uncle Josh didn’t give a damn about our
lives, while Daniela actually did everything to keep us safe. So ask yourself, Dad—who’s the real family? You've
spent so many years locked in your narrow world, you can’t even believe that someone might care about us
without caring about our nor status. Daniela doesn’t care about the McCoy family. She just wanted us to
live. That's why I'm going back. If | have to die, then so be it—I’d rather be with them than hide behind your
pride.”
Passion burned in Nikolas’ voice, wild and raw—a side of him that rarely surfaced. For once, he felt like his own
person, not sshadow of the McCoy family.
A furious bellow burst from Hamilton. “You dare? After barely escaping, you'd march right back into the middle of
chaos? The place is a warzone, and Daniela may already be gone! What do you hope to accomplish? Don’t
forget, we're the ones who raised you. Daniela gave you spetty cash for that company, but the McCoy
family are your true family!”
A cold smile flickered on Nikolas’ face. “Sure, you raised us. But it always felt like charity—like we were supposed
to grovel for scraps of self-respect. We're not just burdens waiting for handouts, Dad. We're human beings. We
deserve better than that.”
