Chapter 1684:
Josh gave a small nod to his secretary, who quietly left the room.
Hamilton noticed every detail. He gripped the armrest tighter. “Josh, | just happened to be nearby. When are you
sending the rest of my money?”
“Didn’t | already explain?” Josh said, looking away briefly. “There's a limit on transfers. You'll get the rest in a few
days. Why the hurry? With a company this size and major projects, do you really think | care about your pocket
change?”
Hamilton's fingers dug into the armrests. “Josh, we're family. I've had a lot of respect for you, but I hope you're
not fooling me. | didn’t make a fuss when you took money from the McCoy Group, but you know we don’t have
much money left. We've been at the top for years, living comfortably, but we never really spread out our
investments. We are all depending on this money to get by. If you've cheated us, that’s more than wrong—it’s
disgraceful.”
Hamilton held Josh's gaze as he spoke openly.
Josh's lips tightened into a thin line.
Hamilton pressed on. “Josh, just tellthe truth. Is there something wrong with this investment?”
Josh stayed quiet. He slowly looked up at Hamilton. Just then, the office door opened, and the company’s
accountant walked in, carrying a stack of documents.
Their quiet standoff was broken.

this investment. | put my own money in too. Why would | hurt myself? You're just being paranoid again.”
Josh smiled. “Look, the company accountant’s here. | was just about to ask him to start your transfer. Hamilton,
it’s no surprise you can’t keep up with Daniela — you're far too suspicious. Just go home. The money will be in
your account by the tyou arrive.”
Hamilton stared at Josh for a moment, then slowly got up to leave.
Just as Hamilton reached the door, Josh called out, “Hamilton, you've always been sharp — with business,
people, strategy. Dad favored me, sure, but | always wanted to earn something on my own, to make him proud.
I've always felt overlooked. How am | any less than you? | just wanted to prove | could do something too.”

In the large office, Josh's voice sounded years older.
Hamilton clenched his fist and said quietly, “You didn’t have to prove anything. In Dad's eyes, you were always
the best.” The room fell silent again.
Their father’s favoritism hung over them like a steady, cold rain — one that snever escape from, no matter
how long they try.
Hamilton walked out.
