Chapter 1695:
“And honestly,” Ethan went on, “we crossed a line. Hamilton was right—business is one thing, but killing people?
We went too far. If Daniela wants us to answer for it, then we probably deserve whatever's coming.”
A deep furrow appeared between Brad's brows.
Ethan continued, “I'm not about to risk my neck. Josh? He's nothing but a reckless brat, rotten from Dad's
favoritism. I'm done listening to him.” Before leaving, Ethan paused beside Brad, lowering his tone. “Don’t let
him drag you down, either. Daniela isn’t someone you want to cross—she’ll make you pay for it.”
Without another word, Ethan strode straight to Daniela, determination stiffening his shoulders.
He looked her in the eye, his tone stripped of pretense. “We did wrong back then. I'll write a confession, take
whatever sentence you want—prison, anything. All | ask is you leave my family out of it. And | want back the
shares | put in, nothing more.”
Daniela’s gaze lingered on Ethan, weighing the sincerity in his voice.
“Understood,” she replied coolly.
Ethan glanced at Hamilton and quietly asked, “So... do we have a deal?”
Hamilton tilted his head and breathed, “Yes.”
A heavy weight slipped from Ethan's chest. Harboring grudges only dragged a person further into darkness—
he’d had enough of that.

He set to work, penning a careful confession addressed to Daniela.
Moments before Daniela could take the confession, Brad swung the door wide and entered, echoing Ethan's
exact sentiment.
“That was on us—our family’s mistake. Daniela, | hope you'll be gracious enough to let this go.”
His words echoed Ethan's, yet the tone behind them was layered—less an apology, more a plea, tangled with old
pride and regret.
A flicker of sharp amusement danced in Daniela’s eyes as she turned her gaze on Brad. “Is that so?”

Brad responded with an eager nod, forcing a smile. “From now on, we'll all get along—just one big, happy
family.”
Ethan interjected, “Brad, I've already written my confession. Want to join me? Lay out the whole mess—what
happened, how it started, and how it ended. Might as well leave a paper trail.”
The moment Ethan's words landed,
Brad stiffened. For an instant,
annoyance flashed across his face
as he darted a look fo@Rradrie fal’
wall jabienthed. Then, pasting on a
grin, he replied, “You're right, | should.
But | banged up my elbow earlier—it's
killing me. Letpatch myself up
first. Once I'm feeling better, I'll put
together a real confession. Daniela,
you have my word.” The content is on
