?Chapter 1668:


    Josh picked up a folder and threw it at him. “What money? Take a look. Dani’s the one making profits now. I’m barely hanging on. Whatever you gave me is long gone. You want money? Go ask her. Didn’t she just hand out dividends?”


    Jules scanned the report. The pages were covered in green, marking one loss after another.


    “This doesn’t make sense. I just gave you that moneyst month. It couldn’t have vanished that fast. If that’s the story you’re sticking to, then I want ess to the books. I’ll check it myself.”


    Josh narrowed his eyes, his face turning hard. “Who do you think you are? You want to audit me?”


    Momentster, Jules was thrown out of thepany.


    He hit the ground hard. Strangers walked past without stopping. Just a few weeks ago, he’d walked out of McCoy Group with thirty billion and his head held high.


    Now, he sat in the dirt, fists clenched, eyes burning. A tear rolled down his cheek.


    “Josh, you forced me into this,” he murmured.<fn2934> Fresh chapters posted on find?novel</fn2934>


    After stepping out of herpany, Dani paused, sensing someone was watching her. A sly, knowing smile flickered at the corners of her lips. Cedric noticed, his voice low. “What’s on your mind?”


    Instead of answering, Dani squeezed his hand, the small gesture sharpening the chill in Cedric’s gaze. His jaw tightened, an undercurrent of warning in his eyes.


    “It’s nothing. Let’s just go home,” she said lightly.


    They slipped into the car—Cedric behind the wheel, Dani settling in beside him. In the rearview mirror, she caught the unmistakable sight of three cars tailing them at a cautious distance.


    When they finally reached home, Dani lifted a hand, bringing them to a stop. “By the way, didn’t New McCoy Group just pay out some nice dividends to you recently?”


    Hamilton faltered for a beat, caught off guard.

    Dani continued, “Honestly, there’s no need to shadow me day and night. If you keep this up, people will start to think I actually hired you three as my bodyguards.”


    Hamilton’s voice took on a note of indignation. “Don’t lump me in with them. I’m your children’s grandfather. Of course, I have to look out for you. You’ve got a medical exam tomorrow—that’s important. How could I not be there?”


    Brad blinked innocently. “Still haven’t found a decent ce, so I’m staying here for now.”


    Ethan grinned, stretchingzily. “Yeah, nowhere else is half as cozy as your ce.”


    Dani narrowed her eyes at the trio. “Tomorrow, all of you start looking for your own ces.”


    With that, she strode inside, leaving the men to trade uneasy nces—Brad and Ethan both shooting Hamilton a silent, desperate plea.


    Later that night, Dani slipped out for a walk.


    Halfway down the block, that prickling sensation returned—someone was watching her.


    A momentter, Hamilton fell in step beside her, pressing a chilled bottle of water into her hand. Instantly, the uneasy feeling melted away.
