Chapter 1611
Chapter 1611:
Ethan nodded in agreement. “Josh deserves our trust. And besides, Mason can’t have kids anymore. If Josh did
drain McCoy Group, who would he even leave it to? The man’s been through so much for this family. We
shouldn't turn on him.”
As Hamilton started to go up the stairs, the three tried to pull him back, urging him to let it go.
Hamilton broke away from their grip and hurried up, only to be stopped at the office door by Josh's secretary.
Wearing a practiced, polite smile, the secretary blocked their path. “I'm afraid you can’t go in right now. Mr.
McCoy is meeting with a very important guest.”

Hamilton's expression turned steely. “And who exactly is in there?”
The secretary didn’t flinch. “A distinguished visitor.”
If they had just said Maximo’s noutright, Hamilton might have dropped his guard. But the vagueness only
fueled his suspicions. Why not just be direct?
“We're directors of McCoy Group too. Why are we being kept out just because there's a VIP inside?”
The secretary let out a practiced chuckle. “With all due respect, this is a matter for Mr. McCoy to handle. Is it
really your place to interrupt? Besides, Mr. McCoy is at the helm now. Are you here to second-guess his
decisions? He's devoted everything to McCoy Group. Do you really want to question his loyalty?”
Their eyes flicked to Hamilton, who stood his ground, unyielding.
“You're not the one in charge of McCoy Group anymore, Hamilton. It wouldn't look good to throw your weight
around and embarrass your brother, would it?”
Turning to Brad and the others, the secretary added, “Let’s not forget, when nobody else wanted to step up, it
was Mr. McCoy who took responsibility. Is this how you repay the one who carried the family through tough
times?”
Those remarks made Brad and the others hesitate, uncertainty flickering across their faces.

The secretary glanced at his watch. Just five more minutes and everything would be sealed.
Soon, half of the McCoy family’s fortune would be in Josh's hands.
Unaware of what was at stake, the rest of the McCoy family exchanged uneasy looks and tugged at Hamilton's
sleeve. “Let's not push this, Hamilton. It's probably nothing major. No need to stir up trouble.”
Jules was quick to agree. “He's right. Let's just leave and cback another time.”
Ethan, siding with caution, added, “If you're all staying, I'm leaving. Josh has always treatedwell, and | don’t
want to upset him over nothing. They said there's an important guest inside, so maybe it's something big.
McCoy Group's stock has been shaky. Josh must be under a lot of stress. Let's not make it worse.”
One by one, the others nodded, ready to give up and walk away.
As this conversation ended, more than five minutes had already passed. Hamilton felt a growing sense of fear
twisting in his gut as the secretary’s posture relaxed.
Just as the McCoy family members were about to turn and leave, a low chuckle drifted out from behind the door.
