?Chapter 1624:


    Brad felt a wave of dread sink into his gut. He touched the tip of his nose and gave a weak answer.<fn4195> Latest content published on find?novel</fn4195>


    “Right.”


    Lara was stunned.


    “How did it get this bad? Uncle Hamilton always knew how to manage the business. How did you end up losing this many clients? Did something go wrong at home?”


    Brad stammered.


    “It wasn’t Hamilton. These past few months, it was Josh who was in charge. After that…”


    A long silence followed. Then Lara’s voice came through, quiet but heavy.


    “So that’s it. You walked straight into a trap. How many times have I warned you? Uncle Josh hides behind a smile. You can’t trust someone like him. But you never listen.”


    Brad grew defensive.


    “But Hamilton always looked after everyone in the family, didn’t he?”


    “Uncle Hamilton and Uncle Josh are not the same. All Uncle Josh does is bring up the past and Grandpa’s old ways. The truth is, Grandpa always favored him. And that’s what shaped him into someone who takes from the family without guilt. You’ve let him fool you all this time.”


    Brad could barely keep his frustration in check.


    “What’s the point of bringing that up now? And you’ve got some nerve criticizing me. You graduated top of your ss. If you’de home, maybe our branch would’ve had a shot. Look at that report and tell me something straight. If someone like the president of Elite Lux tried to take over McCoy Group, how long would it take? What kind of n would they need? How much money would they have to put down? Break it down for me. Make a chart. I want details.”


    As Brad spoke, Ricardo and Ethan stepped out of the building. They heard the questions and gave approving nods.

    Thenughter came through the phone.


    The sound threw the three of them off.


    Brad blinked in confusion.


    “Lara, what’s so funny? Get started on the chart. Your uncles are waiting too.”


    “Dad, are you serious? Did I really just hear you say that the president of Elite Lux wants to buy out McCoy Group? You actually want a timeline for that?”


    Lara raised her voice.


    “You do know that person is the wealthiest individual in the world, right? And McCoy Group? What’s that now?”


    Brad didn’t appreciate her tone.


    “Lara, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say we’re not good enough?”
