?Chapter 1667:


    Brad nced down at his banking app. “Why not put your earnings back into the pot?”


    Ethan opened his mouth to reply, nning to say he would—if Dani gave the green light. But before he could get the words out, he spotted Jules.


    Hamilton narrowed his eyes. “What’s he doing here?”


    Ethan’s tone turned cold. “What else? He heard we got our dividends. What you don’t know is Josh gave him nothing. He yed me once. Looks like it’s his turn now. I bet he’s here to grovel like I did before. Not happening. I need to catch Dani before she gets soft again.”


    Ethan burned with resentment. If Jules hadn’t dragged him to Josh thest time, he would’ve pocketed a whole lot more.


    Dani, meanwhile, was deep in thought, reviewing Josh’stest financial records when the door flew open. One after the other, two men barged in.


    Hamilton came inst and barked, “What is wrong with you two? My daughter-inw is pregnant. She’s carrying my grandkids. Scare her, and you’ll have me to deal with.”


    Jules straightened his spine. “It was just a stumble.”


    Ethan shot him a hard re. “Why are you even here? No one wants you around.”


    Jules hunched over, barely meeting his eye. “I came for Dani. This isn’t your turf.”


    Ethan raised his fist. “You’ve got nerve talking like that. Do you even realize how much cash I’ve lost because of you?”


    Jules snapped back, “You think I didn’t lose anything? I’m nearly penniless.”


    As he spoke, he forced out a tear or two.


    Ethan rolled his eyes. “Well, that’s what you deserve.”<fnc08c> Follow current nov?ls on find·novel</fnc08c>


    Dani pressed her fingers to her temples. Cedric caught the gesture and narrowed his eyes. His voice came out firm. “Take the argument outside if you’re going to keep it up.”


    Cedric didn’t speak often. Ever since Dani got pregnant, his words had grown fewer. His attention stayed fixed on her. But when he did speak, people paid attention.

    The McCoys turned toward him without a word.


    His expression was calm but sharp. With his brows drawn tight, he scanned the room. “Don’t make me say it again.”


    Something in Cedric’s voice made them all uneasy.


    Ethan turned to Jules. “Come on. Or do you n to stay here and make a bigger fool of yourself?”


    Jules looked at Dani, who was already back to reading through the files. He nced once at Cedric, who stood still and unreadable. With a quiet sigh, Jules dropped his eyes and walked away.


    With nowhere else to turn, he headed for Josh.


    “Josh, we’re family. You’ve seen what I’ve lost. Could you help me out and return the money?”


    Josh satfortably, one leg crossed over the other, a smirk stretching across his face. “What now? nning to run to Dani next? If you want to leave, that’s fine. No one’s holding you back. Walk out the door.”


    Jules’s face twisted in disbelief. “You still haven’t returned my investment. How am I supposed to leave empty-handed?”
