?Chapter 1536:


    Heading out of the McCoy Group headquarters, he paused just as Cedric stepped into view across the street. He raised his voice and said, “Cedric, I need a word.”


    Turning at the sound, Cedric met his gaze, face unreadable. Bridging the distance, Hamilton walked up, urgency in every step.


    “Yesterday, Dani made it clear she’sing for McCoy Group. The board wants you to take control. Will you return? I can’t do this without you, my son.” Every word carried genuine desperation this time.


    The icy look on Cedric’s face left no room for conversation. He kept his distance, his tone t and void of emotion. “I’ve never once considered you my father. You weren’t there when I needed you most, so don’te looking for me now that the tables have turned. And if this sudden warmth you’re showing is just because you think I’m the reason Dani’s be the world’s wealthiest individual, then you’ve badly misjudged me.”


    Hamilton froze. “What are you getting at?”


    Cedric said without hesitation, “She’s always been the world’s wealthiest. She simply chose to hide some of her assets. You were only seen at the top because she allowed it. She never wanted the spotlight. But things have changed—she does now. That’s the only reason she’s…”


    Stepping forward again, Cedric said, “So no, I don’t control the wealth. That power has always belonged to her. And if you’re looking for someone to fear, it should be her—not me. With that in mind, does it really matter whether or not I’m on your side?”


    Every syble carried weight as Cedric fixed Hamilton with a gaze that seemed to see right through him. “Spare yourself the effort of arguing with me. Use your time to decide what’s next for McCoy Group.”


    Paralysis left Hamilton rooted to the spot, unable to process the truth. Denial surfaced as he shook his head, unwilling to ept what he’d heard. “Are you telling me Dani was behind everything this whole time?”


    A weak, forced grin flickered across Hamilton’s lips. “That’s absurd. You’re just defending her. Is this your way of scaring me off? Of making me believe she’s invincible?”

    Attempts at bravado faded fast. When his eyes met Cedric’s icy stare, confidence deserted him.


    “Are you honestly telling me Dani is the real powerhouse, just lying low all these years?”<fnc515> This content belongs to FindN()vel</fnc515>


    Cedric responded calmly, “You can choose to ignore it if you want, but the facts won’t change. The truth is staring you in the face. No one builds that kind of fortune overnight unless the foundation was already in ce. The only thing that makes sense is that she always held the real wealth. She kept it hidden on purpose, and when the time came, it rose to the surface—ready and waiting for her to take control.”


    With nothing left to say, Cedric turned on his heel, leaving Hamilton standing in the wake of the truth.


    A lonely gust swept around Hamilton as he stood motionless, his mind spinning in confusion. Was all of this truly orchestrated by Dani? But how could something like that even be real?


    She was just a woman. How could she possibly see that far ahead? How could she carry out such bold, calcted moves with that kind of precision? How was any of it even possible?


    Somehow, Hamilton managed to stumble back to McCoy Group, lost in a fog of disbelief.
