Chapter 1584:
Hamilton blinked, momentarily caught off guard by the swarm of people, then allowed a smug smile to slip
across his face.
“Well, look at that—everyone’s here already? You all couldn't wait, huh? Josh, didn’t your daughter-in-law just
give birth? | heard she’s still in the hospital. How'd you even find tto show up?”
Mason was disabled, while his wife had just given birth. Everyone in the family knew Josh had pinned all his
hopes on this new baby. But it turned out to be another girl.

No one in the McCoy family ever dismissed daughters; every child was celebrated. But with eighteen girls in the
youngest generation, the absence of a single boy gnawed at everyone.
Josh's eyes gleamed red, envy smoldering beneath his stony expression, while Hamilton's self-satisfied taunts
made his jaw clench in frustration.
Off to the side, the secretary caught Hamilton's smug little act and smirked quietly to himself. He couldn't help
but wonder if Hamilton even grasped how little ground he’d ever won against the McCoy family. This family,
masters of playing dumb, bled every advantage dry while wearing innocent faces.
Hamilton's blind spot had always been his fondness for them, and they'd milked it for all it was worth. Now, the
only card he had left was banking everything on Daniela’s influence.
Josh never imagined Hamilton would go so far as to mock him right to his face. His anger boiling over, he jabbed
a finger at Hamilton. “I'm still your older brother, no matter what. What's that supposed to mean? Are you
actually hoping | never have a grandson? You better get your facts straight. Daniela only went to buy a
pregnancy test. There's no proof she’s expecting. You're jumping the gun!”
Brad interjected, “Seriously, Hamilton, maybe take it down a notch. What if Daniela isn’t pregnant? You might be
the one feeling sorry in the end.” As he said it, Brad shot a pointed look at Hamilton.

Jules added fuel to the fire with a sarcastic smile. “From what | heard, Daniela’s been fragile since her last
miscarriage. | doubt she’d get pregnant again so quickly. You might just be setting yourself up for
disappointment.”
Hamilton's secretary stood by, visibly struggling to keep quiet. He wanted to say something in Daniela’s defense,
but a sharp look from Josh made him bite his tongue.
Hamilton started to worry he’d gone too far. If Daniela wasn’t actually pregnant, everyone would turn on him for
celebrating too soon. He couldn't help but think he'd rejected the princess a little hastily. If the test cback
negative, he would have lost more than just his pride. That thought led Hamilton to consider texting the
princess, hoping there was still a chance to patch things up.
Daniela’s health had always been Cedric’s top priority. Even a small patch of sunlight would have Cedric rushing
over with an umbrella. Was it really possible for her to get pregnant so easily? It seemed unlikely.
Hamilton's early excitement faded fast, leaving him with nothing but regret. The rest of the McCoy family
watched Hamilton with mocking smiles.
