?Chapter 1681:


    As Cedric offered Dani another spoonful of soup, she answered, “I doubt they have the appetite for food tonight.”


    Muchter, Brad’s phone lit up with a message from Lara. She sent a screenshot showing Jules’pany’s ount bnce.


    Everyone gathered in the soft courtyard light, their eyes glued to the numbers on the screen.


    “Thousand… Million… Ten million… Hundred million… Billion… Ten billion… Six hundred sixty-six billion!”


    The shock in the air was impossible to miss.


    “Hold on!” Hamilton nearly lost hisposure, but his mind for numbers stayed sharp. “Why does that number seem so familiar?” Their call was still going.


    On the other end of the line, Lara let out a frustrated sigh and said, “This is everything McCoy Group is worth, except for what you handed over to Dani. It means every asset belonging to the McCoy family has ended up right back with Uncle Jules. Dad, what have you been doing this whole time? In the end, all your efforts just helped someone else benefit.”


    A dull thud followed as the phone slipped from Brad’s grasp. “No, that can’t be. It’s impossible! Jules would never do this to us. We’re brothers, and he wouldn’t scheme against his own family.”


    Ethan, who had once been tricked and promised it would never happen again, now realized he had fallen for another deception in only a matter of days.


    A sharp pain shot through his chest, and he pressed a hand over his heart. “It has to be Jules. He must have set us up. His grudge against Josh for not paying him back led him to pull us all down with him. There’s no other way the numbers would match up so perfectly.”


    Brad and Ethan turned hopeful eyes toward Hamilton, searching for any sign of optimism. However, not a trace of hope showed in his expression.


    Hamilton’splexion was ghostly pale, his hands balled into tight fists, and his whole frame seemed to waver. “We need to find Josh right now.”


    Every tale finds a home at g?lnσν???s


    Quick agreement came from Brad and Ethan. “Yes. We have to find Josh.”


    Hamilton started for the door but paused, ncing back at Dani, who sat on the sofa, eating fruit.


    A nagging feeling crept in, as if he was overlooking something important; maybe he should have asked Dani a question before leaving.


    Brad didn’t give him the chance, tugging him along in haste.


    A sense of urgency sharpened Brad’s voice. “Move it, Hamilton, or you might gopletely broke before your grandkidse.”


    Whatever thought had been forming in Hamilton’s mind vanished at Brad’s words. He rushed after Brad without another word.


    Meanwhile, Carol asked quietly, “Shall we start carrying out our n, Dani?”


    Dani replied, “That’s not necessary yet. We agreed to give it a month. Let them turn on each other first. We’ll act once my babies are safe and healthy.”


    Carol gave a quick nod, epting her answer.


    Cedric slipped a coat around Dani’s shoulders. “I’ll make sure they stay away for a while; all themotion is bothering you.”


    A soft smile curved Dani’s lips. “It’s fine. I want the babies to see how I stand up for the sibling they lost.”
