?Chapter 1542:


    Lowering her eyes, Dani addressed Carol. “He gets seven days. If he hasn’t quit by then, we’ll proceed with our n.”


    Carol asked, “Do you believe he’ll take your gesture seriously?”


    Dani’s reply was cool and measured. “That’s his burden. Extending the offer was my call.”


    After all, Hamilton was Cedric’s father. She was willing to give the old man another chance.


    The next day, McCoy Group’s shares held firm. A sense of relief swept through the previously tense people.


    Josh sneered, “What did I say? Panic over nothing. Those earlier market blips were just noise.”


    Alison chimed in, “Exactly! Who could ever threaten our grip? We gave Dani too much credit.”


    Patrick McCoy scoffed, “Truth be told, this whole ordeal made it obvious—we don’t need Hamilton. He sat on the sidelines, and things turned out fine anyway.”


    Brad McCoy puffed contentedly on his cigar. “Hamilton just wanted attention. Stirring drama to make himself seem indispensable. Honestly, I’ve had it with him.”


    Silence fell for a beat.


    Then someone mumbled, “Hamilton has passed his prime, and Cedric doesn’t want the helm. Maybe it’s time we found a new leader.”


    Again, quiet spread across the room.


    Josh gave a crooked smile. “I merely presented a possibility. Any oue should be thoughtfully reviewed by all involved. McCoy Group isn’t Hamilton’s alone—it belongs to every one of us. Since he’s stepped away from leadership, it makes sense to choose a new figure to lead.”


    The implication was unmistakable. Everyone saw that Josh was pushing for his own son to assume control, though he wasn’t brave enough to say it aloud.

    Jules McCoy, who had kept to himself until now, finally broke his silence. “If Hamilton’s to be reced, Cedric is the only one I’d back. Who else here even qualifies?”


    Thatment made Josh’s expression tighten. “What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting McCoy Group is doomed without Cedric?”


    Jules nodded. “Exactly. And what of it? We’re all aware of what you’re plotting. Your son can’t hold a candle to Cedric. He’s not even in the same league as Niks. So drop the charade.”


    Fuming, Josh struck the table and jumped to his feet. “What makes my son so unworthy? You’re just bitter because you never had a son of your own!”


    Jules, enraged, grabbed an ashtray and flung it. It struck Josh in the forehead.


    The brawl became a headline. “McCoy Family Turmoil” dominated the news cycle.


    Dani stared at the broadcast. Carol, beside her, grinned ear to ear. “They’re going at it!”<fn496c> For more chapters visit Find_Novel(.</fn496c>


    By the following morning, Josh’s son, Mason McCoy, was named the new head of McCoy Group. Josh now walked with renewed stature. People whispered that Cedric had been cast aside by the McCoy family.


    Soon, Josh and his family were seen at upscale gs and dinners, embedding themselves in Driscoll’s elite circles.
