?Chapter 1537:


    A phone call from the king of Loglil jolted him from his thoughts, inquiring about a meeting with Cedric.


    Desperation made Hamilton cling to this small thread of hope. Tears streamed down his face as he spoke over the line.


    “Nothing I tried could convince Dani to let Cedric go. She’s gone as far asunching economic sanctions against McCoy Group and keeping Cedric under house arrest. I have to apologize on Cedric’s behalf—he wanted me to tell your daughter. Fate simply wasn’t on your side. He hopes you won’t me him for it. He promised you’d remain in his thoughts, no matter how far apart you are.”


    The moment those words reached her, the princess crumbled, tears streaming down as she clung to the king for support.


    The king of Loglil had always showered his daughter with boundless indulgence. Now, seeing her cry like this, he shouted into the phone, “Hamilton, are you truly this ipetent? Can’t even manage a single woman?”<fn1a21> Updates are released by ?ovelFind</fn1a21>


    On the other end, Hamilton’s shoulders drooped slightly, his voice coated with unease. “Forgive me, this is entirely my mistake. Cedric is my son. He spent years drifting outside, and I owe him more than I can repay. I want to give him the finest life. But now, I’m truly cornered. Dani is the richest person alive, her influence beyondpare. I’mpletely lost. I hope you see my plight.”


    The king’s voice cut through the air, firm andmanding. “If you need backing, speak up.”


    A sly, unreadable smile tugged at Hamilton’s lips. “How could I possibly trouble you?”


    The king squinted, his voice dropping low. “So, Cedric isn’t fond of Dani and wants a divorce, right? Hamilton, lie to me, and I’ll see to it you’re barred from every mineral resource on Earth!”


    Hamilton’s heart thudded once, but he quickly answered, “Yes, absolutely. It’s the truth.”


    The king ended the call without warning. Standing close, Hamilton’s secretary spoke warily. “Mr. McCoy, the king is dangerously temperamental. If he catches you lying, he won’t spare you.”

    Hamilton narrowed his eyes at him. “So what should I do? Dani’s ready to take me on. Isn’t it smart to have an ally in ce?”


    Joseph paused briefly, then gave a dismissive smirk. “I think you’re overthinking. We’re in Driscoll. What can Dani actually pull off here? She’s just blowing off steam after finding out the truth. Do you really believe she’d risk herpany’s interests just to sh with us?”


    The memory of Dani’s tant disrespect reignited Joseph’s anger. “And let’s not forget, we aren’t some pushovers. Are we really going to let her push us around?”


    Hamilton shot Joseph a pointed look, eyes gleaming with edge. “Interesting to see you so openly hostile toward someone.”


    Joseph paused for a beat, then shed a small smile. “I’m just looking at things from your side. Cedric is your son, yet Dani, your daughter-inw, doesn’t show you the slightest respect. If you back down now, how will you hold your ground in the familyter? She’ll only…”


    Hamilton’s eyes narrowed to cold slits. “You’re absolutely right!”


    His attention returned to the wavering figures on McCoy Group’s reports. The marketing team had been working nonstop for days and finally clocked out, utterly exhausted. Before leaving, the marketing manager—his eyes shadowed with heavy dark circles—offered reassurance.
