NovelFameChapter 1647:
After a few moments of awkward silence, Hamilton finally blurted, “You couldn’t even run a business right.”
Brad stood there, speechless. Hamilton, for all his bluster, still fell short when it cto facing Josh head-on.
Ethan couldn't hide his surprise—he would have gladly handed the floor to Daniela if he'd known things would go
this way. Hamilton was nothing short of a ridiculous fool.
Josh let out a low, genuine laugh, clearly amused by Hamilton's lack of backbone. He'd always known why
Hamilton could never stand up to him. Back in their grandfather's day, their father was the eldest son but never
earned the family’s approval. The real star had been his younger brother, the second son—outshining everyone
and fueling a bitter resentment that simmered for decades.
Ironically, history repeated itself. Their father, despite having five kids, found his own second son, Hamilton,
outshining the eldest when it cto talent. Unable to let go of old grudges, their father dumped his pent-up
frustrations from the past onto Hamilton, stifling him at every turn.
Hamilton grew up without so much as a word of praise, each slight pushing him further away until he finally left

“Why don’t you find out for yourself if I'm cut out to run a business? Frankly, | don’t have tto stand around
and gossip. I'm leaving.” With that, Josh turned to go, making it clear he wouldn't waste another second on
them.
“Hold on!” Ethan blurted, refusing to let Josh slip away. There was far too much money at stake to back down
now. “Josh, I've always respected you. | really hope you'll pay back what you owe me. No matter what, you'll
always be my brother. I'd hate for money to get in the way of that.”
He couldn't let go of the last shred of hope that Josh might do the right thing. Nearby, Daniela leaned on her
hand, her eyes wide with interest, quietly watching the scene unfold.
“I already told you how it is,” Josh growled, his voice rising with irritation. “The money's all tied up in
investments. | can’t just pull it out. If you're really desperate, | can scrape together three million, but that’s it.
Make your choice.”
Ethan's lips tightened with resentment.
He looked away, shoulders slumped, his wounded pride visible as he flicked a helpless glance at Daniela.
Hamilton's nerves were raw, his composure unraveling in front of his daughter-in-law. He had strutted around
earlier, insisting he had everything under control.
How could he admit defeat now?
The thought of groveling for help made his chest tighten with humiliation.
If he caved, what shred of authority would he have left as Daniela’s father-in-law?
