Chapter 1688:
While their cries filled the room, Daniela tossed her keys onto the shoe cabinet, settled onto the couch, and
turned on the television as if nothing unusual were happening. The screen displayed the latest news report on
the fraud scandal. One image showed Josh stepping onto a private jet. The female news anchor spoke clearly.
“We urge the public to stay alert and beware of financial scams.”
The next morning, the intelit up with a video of that familiar female anchor. She had been filmed late at
night, drinking alone and speaking through her tears.
In the footage, she broke down while blaming McCoy Group. She'd put her money into the project, she said,
because she believed in them. Now, she was left with nothing.
Her makeup had melted down her cheeks, her sobbing too much for even the camera to ignore.
It didn’t take long for the public to explode in outrage. Across Oiscoll, the McCoy family becsynonymous
with cruelty. The rage was swift and unforgiving.
A century of reputation collapsed in a single night.
Hamilton didn’t speak for a long while. He sat quietly, sifting through his thoughts until one question pushed its
way forward. He turned to Daniela. “You planned this, didn’t you?”
He already knew the answer. Still, he needed to hear it.

to you. Did he tell you who was behind the explosion?”
Daniela didn’t answer. She kept her eyes on the television screen, unmoved by his words. Instead, she asked,
“Do you know who did it?”
Hamilton slowly shook his head. Suspicion had haunted him for years. But his father had made it clear that the
issue should be left buried. No one ever dared to speak of it again.
Still, whenever he tried to piece it together, the truth slipped further from reach. Daniela caught the hesitation in
his expression. That told her enough.

She turned her gaze back to the screen. “Then you shouldn't interfere. It didn’t concern you back then, and it
doesn’t concern you now.”
Hamilton lowered his eyes, understanding where she stood. He didn’t think her anger was wrong. Any parent in
her place would feel the same.
He let out a quiet breath. “I can stay out of it. But | want to ask you one thing.”
Daniela kept the remote in her hand, not saying a word.
“Spare the innocent,” Hamilton said.
