?Chapter 1571:


    With that, Josh stormed out to smoke, leaving a tense silence in his wake.


    Brad let out a string of curses. “Damn it. If we’d known things would end up like this, maybe we never should’ve killed Dani’s mother in the first ce.”


    Jules just shook his head and sighed. “No use regretting it now. Josh has a point. Dani’s clearly out for revenge. If we put Hamilton in charge of McCoy Group, he’ll just hand everything over to Cedric. And with how Cedric hangs on Dani’s every word, we might as well give thepany to her outright.”


    A collective sigh went around the room as everyone tried to settle Josh’s fury.


    “Look, don’t take it personally. We’re still family. We’ve always trusted you, Josh. Just tell us what to do next.”


    Josh barked, “First thing, I’m calling an emergency meeting. Ask every executive to attend.”


    Josh nted himself at the head of the table, hands braced on his hips. “I don’t care how you do it, just make sure the stock stops dropping. McCoy Group pays you well, so don’t just sit there waiting for me to spell everything out.”


    Running a business was uncharted territory for Josh. In his mind, as long as he put money on the table, he expected everyone to deliver.


    As the meeting heated up, he went down the line, singling out each executive and tearing into them without restraint. He never bothered with tact, and today, his temper red so much that he ended up calling the marketing manager good-for-nothing.


    The room went dead silent.


    The marketing manager, known for her confidence and steady nerves, actually found herself tearing up. “Mr. McCoy, none of us saw thising. It’s not fair to unload your anger on us just because things went wrong out of the blue. I’ve spent years working hard for McCoy Group. Not once did Hamilton belittle me or treat the senior staff with disrespect. When we faced setbacks, we tackled them together. Honestly, your outbursts make me question if you’re really cut out to lead or if you even care about the people who keep thispany running.”


    Josh never imagined anyone would push back against him. His expression darkened as he snapped, “You all im to be top-tier professionals? If you were as skilled as you im, McCoy Group’s stock wouldn’t be in freefall right now.”

    The marketing manager looked at him in disbelief. “You’re not just attacking me; you’re undermining every executive here. Under Hamilton, McCoy Group stayed steady. Since you took over, everything’s been chaos. Maybe the real problem isn’t with us, but with your decisions.”<fn8d56> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find(?)ovel</fn8d56>


    Suddenly, the sharp crack of a p rang out.


    The entire boardroom was frozen in disbelief. Even the secretary taking notes at the far end of the table flinched, hands hovering over the keyboard.


    Nobody could have guessed Josh would actually strike an employee, let alone someone who’d been loyal to McCoy Group for years. No matter what excuses he might have, any man with a shred of decency or proper upbringing would know better than to raise a hand against a woman. Everyone stared, stunned, as the secretary pushed his sses up and hurriedly documented every word.


    Carol walked in and spotted Dani on the sofa, flipping through a stack of records.


    “Dani, Hamilton says he’s sick and refuses toe out. What’s our move now? Should we ride this momentum while we’ve got it?”


    Dani stared at theptop screen, quiet and still.
