Chapter 1630:
A sense of obligation had always tugged at Ethan because of the money Josh sent for his studies abroad; he was
never allowed to forget it.
Refusing to let it hold him this time, Ethan drew a line.
After a breath, he bit back his nerves and spoke up. “Even brothers should keep money straight. Things are
different now, and this is all | have. If anything goes wrong, it could get very hard forand my family.”
Josh’s eyes narrowed, his tone turning sharp. “What could go wrong, exactly? Do you really believe I'm worried
about your pocket change?”
A heavy sigh followed. “So, you don’t trust me. Not much more to say, is there? It's just sad we've cto this
as brothers.”
Before the atmosphere could sour further, Jules chimed in, “Con, Ethan. Why stir up trouble? You're just
making Josh feel unappreciated. Don’t forget, he’s the one protecting us now.”
Leaning closer, Ethan kept his voice low. “We're talking real money here. Shouldn't you think twice? Remember,
most of what we had is gone, and it’s because Josh got his hands on it!”
Jules shrugged, trying to reassure him. “I get it, but Josh explained everything. He wasn’t out to cheat anyone.
He just wanted to keep Daniela from grabbing the assets. He promised to make it right. Besides, look at the
bigger picture: if Daniela has a son, she and Cedric will get everything, and we'll all be answering to her. Thanks
to Josh, we each control our own shares now. Isn’t that better for us?”

Suspicion lingered in Ethan's eyes. “But Lara said...”
Jules waved him off. “Lara? She's still learning the ropes. We're the brothers holding this family together.
Daniela’s only got Hamilton's shares, that’s all. Oiscoll is our ground. Stick with me, and everything here is still in
our hands.”
While Ethan hesitated, Jules smoothly fished out his phone and transferred the funds straight to Josh before
Ethan could stop him.
Shock hit Ethan like a splash of cold water. “What the hell, Jules?”

Laughing, Jules slung an arm over his shoulder. “Relax. You never changed your password, not once. It's done,
the money's with Josh now. He'll put it to good use.”
The exchange left Ethan brooding, and when his phone buzzed with a new message from Brad, a fresh wave of
frustration hit.
On the screen, Brad's words read, “Dinner at my place tonight. Just the two of us.”
Ethan quickly typed a reply. “Alright.”
In the evening, Brad ran into Daniela.
Carol walked up and said, “Daniela wants you to cto her place for dinner tonight.”
Brad blinked in confusion. “Huh? Seriously?”
Carol tilted her head. “What's the problem? You're not free?”
Brad rubbed the back of his neck.

Brad asked, “Is this dinner for something specific?”
Carol shrugged. “Not that | know of. She just said...”
He pulled out his phone and texted Ethan. “I'll have someone cget you.”
