?Chapter 1606:
With that, he shoved the rest of the gifts into the trash and stormed off. Dani’s gaze followed his car as it sped past the workers quietly nting jasmines.
Cedric walked over and shut the front door behind him.
Turning to him with a smile, Dani said, “Josh is getting impatient, isn’t he? Sending all those people just to harm our unborn child… Cedric, I think it’s about time I stop letting him think I’m someone he can push around. Don’t you agree?”
Cedric arched an eyebrow as he looked at her and replied firmly, “I agree.”
That night, Hamilton barged straight into Josh’s house.
He mmed the things he had brought down hard on the table. “Josh, you have to step in about this!”
Josh’s eyes flicked to the table, instantly recognizing each item. He let out a faint smirk, then blinked as if clueless. “Hmm? What’s all this?”
Hamilton’s face reddened as he struck the table with his palm. “These are so-called gifts from our siblings—for Dani. One’sced with poison, another’s got a hidden camera. They’re either spying or trying to kill!”
Hamilton’s anger red hotter. “I’ve spent my whole life holding this family together, yet some people keep targeting my grandkids. Back when Dani was pregnant with her first child, someone among us tried to kill her. Dad stopped me from digging into it, and I bit my tongue. But now? Dani’s pregnant again, and they can’t wait to erase this child too? Josh, you lead this family now. What do you n to do about it?”
Josh eyed the pile again, his tone calm. “So this is everything you found? Did anyone uncover more?”
Silently, he wondered if his scheme—the poisoned jasmines near Dani’s ce—had slipped under the radar.

Hamilton stared at him, stunned by the question. “What are you implying? Isn’t this bad enough?”
Josh exhaled, masking his relief. “Rx. I didn’t mean it like that. I only think we should dig deeper to be sure nothing’s missed. Besides, these bits don’t look very dangerous. I’ll summon our siblings and talk sense into them. You shouldn’t get yourself worked up over this.”
Hamilton’s eyes went wide. “Not very dangerous? That’s only because the baby isn’t even a month along yet. Wait until three months—when they can learn the gender—and if they find out Dani’s carrying a boy, they’ll do far worse!”
Hamilton mmed a fist on the table. “Wasn’t it the same with her first pregnancy? Once they found out it was a boy, they triggered that explosion without blinking. Brutal and quick! If Dani and Cedric weren’t sharp, they’d have died that day!”
Josh nodded along, but deep down he thought—as long as nobody found out about the jasmines, that baby wouldn’t survive three months.
Hamilton went on and on, only to notice Josh drifting into silence. “Josh, are you going to deal with this or not?”<fn8c8a> Chapters first released on find?novel</fn8c8a>
Josh kept his agreeable mask on. “Of course I will. Don’t stress. I’ll handle everything. For now, head home. I’ll summon everyone soon. No need to lose sleep, Hamilton. We’re family; best not to blow things up too far. It’d be awkward if you fought with them, wouldn’t it?”
