Chapter 1612:
They stopped in their tracks.
Brad squinted, whispering, “Was that Maximo’s voice?”
“You're hearing things,” Jules scoffed, glancing at the secretary for reassurance.
Ethan insisted, “No way. The only one who could harm us is Daniela. Josh would never betray the family. Let's
just go.”
But before anyone could take another step, the door to the CEO's office slowly creaked open.

Inside the office, Maximo turned toward Josh, extending a firm handshake. “The new partnership is set. Here's to
making a fortune together!”
Both men wore broad, satisfied smiles.
As Josh glanced up, he caught sight of his brothers clustered in the doorway, their faces frozen in shock.
His cheerful demeanor slipped, replaced by a cool nonchalance. “See Mr. Wagner out,” he told the secretary.
With a polite gesture, the secretary ushered Maximo away.
Even after the door closed, the McCoy brothers stood rooted, still struggling to process what they had just
witnessed.
Hamilton, his expression clouded with suspicion, strode into the office. “Josh, you owe us sanswers. That
deal with Maximo’s company wasn’t supposed to be finalized yet. What did you just sign?”
Josh sank back onto the sofa, taking his tas he lit a cigar, arrogance written all over his face. “I'm the CEO of
McCoy Group now. Do | really need to justify every contract | sign?”
“You may run McCoy Group, but you still have a responsibility to the family. What exactly did you agree to with
Maximo?” Hamilton pressed.

Slowly snapping out of their shock, the McCoy brothers exchanged uneasy glances, suspicion beginning to take
root.
Brad frowned. “What's going on, Josh? That was clearly Maximo in here, but your secretary just called him an
important guest. Why keep it a secret?”
Jules’s brow furrowed as realization dawned. “We've always done annual renewals with Maximo’s company. Why
the sudden shift? What changed? What did you actually sign?”
Ethan, who had just been singing Josh’s praises, suddenly sounded lost. “Josh, you wouldn't betray us, right?”
The McCoy brothers couldn't believe their ears.
Daniela had done nothing to harm them, yet betrayal had cfirst from their own blood.
When Brad pulled out the termination letter cutting ties between Maximo’s company and McCoy Group, then
spotted Maximo’s fresh deal with Brilliant Stars, every last bit of hope collapsed.
Brad's voice cracked. “Josh, did you do this to us?”
Josh leaned back, puffing on his cigar, finally dropping the kind mask he had worn for decades. “Yes, | did.
Instead of watching Daniela drain our money dry, | chose to steer the business my way. Father always said the
family wealth should stay within the clan. Now I'm just claiming my rightful share. Isn't that fair? Stop acting
wronged. | carried you all for years. Think of this as you payingback.”
