Chapter 1599:
Even so, she couldn't hide her shock. “All these years, not one boy?” Her voice carried pure disbelief.
Silence draped itself over the McCoys. And like a spark to dry grass, her next question cquick.
“Your family tree has five branches. Hamilton has five sons. The rest have a flock of children. Sare already
married off.” She recalled staring at their massive family chart once, amazed by how crowded it looked. “How
can they all be girls?”
She asked it without a hint of mockery, just honest wonder. Still, the McCoys bristled, feeling a slap in that

Daniela had hit where it hurt most. They all tasted that burn. A single careless truth could cut deeper than a
knife.
Daniela let out a light laugh. “So the real trouble sits right in your own family. You're all worked up thinking my
baby’s a boy who'll swipe McCoy Group from under you, right?”
Brad never thought Jules would spill their father’s will to Daniela. Wasn't that like handing their secrets to
someone who might use it against them? Could Jules be any more clueless?
“That's not quite it. What | mean is—McCoy Group isn’t something you want, right?” Jules locked eyes with
Daniela, silently begging her to say she didn’t care about the family’s riches, just like she had rejected their
name. He even had a lawyer on standby.
“Daniela, | know wealth means nothing to you. Money's the last thing on your mind. Look, if you truly don’t want
a cent, | brought a lawyer today. You can sign this paper and officially give up any right to the McCoy fortune.

Daniela eyed the document now sitting before her and let out a quiet laugh.
“You're chasing the wrong problem.”
The McCoys went stiff, staring at her in blank confusion.
Daniela lifted her chin and said, “You keep pointing fingers at me, scared this baby will mess up your share. But
the real trouble? It’s hidden somewhere else. You just haven't seen it yet. Got it?”

Jules muttered, “What did Daniela mean? Where's this so-called big problem she claims we've missed? Is she
saying McCoy Group is in trouble right now and we're blind to it because we're too busy fussing over her? But
what trouble could there be? Hamilton isn’t even running the show. Josh is. He's our eldest brother. He'd never
betray us. So what gis Daniela playing at?”
Brad flicked his hand as if shooing away a fly. “What does Daniela know anyway? She's just a pregnant woman.
What could she possibly figure out? She’s spouting nonsense, and you actually believed her? Don’t tellyou're
that gullible.”
Ethan didn’t care to chin. All he could think about was the pain throbbing in his mangled finger. Damn that
Daniela. So protective. One day, I'll make her pay for this finger.
