?Chapter 1504:


    Hamilton’s fury boiled over.


    “You think it’s that simple? Who gave you your bloodline? Me! Without my superior genes, would the princess even nce your way?”


    “Oh really?” Cedric sneered.


    “I heard the princess met your five sons but wasn’t impressed. Now she likes me, so clearly your so-called ‘genes’ don’t matter.”


    Niks was stunned, mouth hanging open, staring at Cedric in sheer disbelief. Cedric’s voice stayed steady.


    “So don’t take all the credit for the good stuff.”


    Hamilton’s rage red again.


    “Cedric! This was my hard-earned n! Aren’t you moved at all?”


    “Moved?” Cedric shot back.


    “In case you forgot, I’m already married, and my marriage is solid. Does the princess know about that?”


    Hamilton replied, “I’ve already told her you’ll get a divorce.”


    Cedric smirked.


    “Oh really? Well, I have no intention of divorcing.”


    Hamilton’s tone grew cold.


    “Cedric, do you realize what you’re blindly throwing away? Think your life is fine as it is? It could be so much brighter. Dani isn’t worth losing such a golden opportunity.”


    Cedric remained calm.


    “Is that so? But to me, Dani is the only one who truly matters. If you value Loglil’s power so much, why don’t you go win the princess yourself?”


    Without another word, Cedric ended the call.


    ???????????????? ???????????? ???? g????????﹒???


    Niks stared in awe, momentarily speechless. He raised his thumb toward Cedric’s face.


    “Impressive! No one talks back to Father like that. He must be boiling!”


    Cedric lounged with quiet grace, his voice cool.


    “You never dared to talk back to him.”


    Hamilton acted like he ruled the world, believing he could bend everyone’s will. Before stepping out, Cedric warned Niks.


    “Keep this from the others, especially Dani.”


    Niks typed on his phone, not ncing up.


    “Why’s that?”


    Cedric replied, “Dragging up this drama will just make me a joke.”


    He didn’t know how Dani would react if she found out. What if she left him? He didn’t want to be abandoned again.


    “Too slow.” Niks looked up, phone in hand.


    “I’ve already told her.”


    Cedric frowned, eyes dropping to the screen.
