?Chapter 1576:


    A second pnded, rougher this time. Blood trickled from the edge of Joseph’s mouth, but he didn’t step aside.


    Jules snapped, “I told you—move!”


    Still, Joseph held his ground, and the security team hesitated, torn. These men were all members of the McCoy family, after all. Years of serving the family had left the staff wary of taking sides in such bitter power struggles.


    Joseph refused to budge. “I’ve told you already. Mr. McCoy is—”


    Before he could finish, Ethan’s fistnded hard, knocking him off bnce. Years of training made Ethan’s blows brutal, and Joseph copsed onto the ground.


    Before he could rise, a shoe pressed down on his leg. A sharp cry of pain echoed down the hallway.


    Meanwhile, inside the house, Hamilton was still on a call.<fneec8> Updates are released by F?nd-Novel</fneec8>


    The voice on the other end was giving him an update on McCoy Group’stest troubles. Hamilton heard the scream outside and was about to hang up when the caller said, “Mr. McCoy, there’s one more thing. I’m not sure if I should mention it.”


    Hamilton urged, “Spit it out.”


    “It’s about Dani…”


    But whatever news there was about Dani, Hamilton never heard it. The door flew open as Josh stormed in.


    Hamilton’s gaze narrowed in annoyance as he set the phone down, missing the rest of the intelligence officer’s report.

    His eyes locked on Joseph, his loyal secretary of many years, now lying battered on the ground, a thin line of blood at his lips.


    Turning to the security detail, Hamilton gave an order. “Get Joseph to the hospital. Now.”


    The bodyguards didn’t hesitate, quickly lifting Joseph and carrying him out of sight.


    Still in his rxed home clothes, Hamilton lowered himself onto the sofa, his tone sharp and icy. “You stormed into my house like this and roughed up my secretary. What’s next? nning to shove me aside too?”


    They had been living in their own arrogance for so long, they’d forgotten the humility it took to actually ask for help.


    The McCoy brothers traded uneasy nces. Their need to save their dignity overshadowed everything else, leading to an awkward silence. Hamilton watched them, knowing their patterns all too well.


    In the past, he’d always let things slide for the sake of family. Lately, though, it felt like he was the only one who cared about that bond.


    Since nobody seemed willing to speak first, Hamilton wasn’t about to make it easy on them. He sat back, coffee in hand, waiting.
