Chapter 1681:
As Cedric offered Daniela another spoonful of soup, she answered, “I doubt they have the appetite for food
tonight.”
Much later, Brad's phone lit up with a message from Lara. She sent a screenshot showing Jules’ company’s
account balance.
Everyone gathered in the soft courtyard light, their eyes glued to the numbers on the screen.
“Thousand... Million... Ten million... Hundred million... Billion... Ten billion... Six hundred sixty-six billion!”
The shock in the air was impossible to miss.
“Hold on!” Hamilton nearly lost his composure, but his mind for numbers stayed sharp. “Why does that number
seem so familiar?” Their call was still going.
On the other end of the line, Lara let out a frustrated sigh and said, “This is everything McCoy Group is worth,
except for what you handed over to Daniela. It means every asset belonging to the McCoy family has ended up
right back with Uncle Jules. Dad, what have you been doing this whole time? In the end, all your efforts just
helped someone else benefit.”
A dull thud followed as the phone slipped from Brad's grasp. “No, that can’t be. It's impossible! Jules would never
do this to us. We're brothers, and he wouldn't schagainst his own family.”

another deception in only a matter of days.
A sharp pain shot through his chest, and he pressed a hand over his heart. “It has to be Jules. He must have set
us up. His grudge against Josh for not paying him back led him to pull us all down with him. There's no other way
the numbers would match up so perfectly.”
Brad and Ethan turned hopeful eyes toward Hamilton, searching for any sign of optimism. However, not a trace
of hope showed in his expression.
Hamilton's complexion was ghostly pale, his hands balled into tight fists, and his whole frseemed to waver.
“We need to find Josh right now.”

Quick agreement cfrom Brad and Ethan. “Yes. We have to find Josh.”
Hamilton started for the door but paused, glancing back at Daniela, who sat on the sofa, eating fruit.
A nagging feeling crept in, as if he was overlooking something important; maybe he should have asked Daniela a
question before leaving.
Brad didn’t give him the chance, tugging him along in haste.
A sense of urgency sharpened Brad's voice. “Move it, Hamilton, or you might go completely broke before your
grandkids come.”
Whatever thought had been forming in Hamilton's mind vanished at Brad's words. He rushed after Brad without
another word.
Meanwhile, Carol asked quietly, “Shall we start carrying out our plan, Daniela?”
