?Chapter 1687:


    Dani handed him a tissue without taking her eyes off the road. “If you mean the babies I’m carrying, they won’t need that much.”


    She kept a steady expression as she maneuvered through the traffic.


    “What do you know?” Hamilton said sharply. “Children are precious. Everything they eat or use should be good enough for royalty. My grandchildren, at the very least, deserve a full team of devoted caregivers. As they grow, they must go to top international schools and learn horseback riding, archery, piano, and violin—each taught by the best. All of that costs a fortune. My grandkids are meant to have the best from the moment they’re born. And when they grow up, they’ll have to get married, raise kids, and be ready for houses, cars, and weddings. You have no idea how overwhelmed I am right now.”


    Dani gave a softugh. “Cedric will handle all of it. You really don’t need to stress.”


    After all, Dani—being the richest person alive—already had everything she could possibly need.


    Surely, Hamilton didn’t need to feel so burdened.


    “You’ll only understand once you be a grandparent. You and Cedric, as their parents, will handle some things, but I also have a duty. If I don’t prepare, they might think their grandfather didn’t care.”


    Dani gave a small nod as she turned the wheel. She didn’t argue with him and said lightly, “Then keep working hard.”


    Hamilton sniffled and pulled out another tissue. “I’ll have to return to my old line of work—there’s no other way. I’ve got a whole family depending on me. Everything costs so much. Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt. Dani, you know that feeling, right? Like you’ve been hollowed out? My head is still spinning.”


    Dani gave a faint smile. “Really? Then treat it as a lesson from life. But do you really have to let it drag you down like this?”


    Hamilton shot back. “Why not? It’s a huge amount of money.”

    Dani parked in front of the vi. “Didn’t you put most of your money into New McCoy Group? You’ll get returnster. Think of it as a smart investment. Don’t worry. Cedric’s good at making money—he won’t let you take a hit.”


    Hearing that, Hamilton let out a quiet sigh of relief.


    He unbuckled his seatbelt and watched Dani walk toward the house. But he stayed back, uneasy and reluctant to go in.


    Dani turned back, car keys in hand, and saw Hamilton lingering at the door. She smiled. “Want to know how to bounce back from a rough patch quickly?”


    Hamilton assumed she was about tounch into one of those long, motivational speeches.


    He pressed his lips together. “I’m too old for pep talks.”<fn2e29> This content belongs to Find?Novel</fn2e29>


    “No,” Dani said. “What really works better than any pep talk is seeing someone who’s worse off.”


    At first, Hamilton didn’t understand what she meant. Still, he followed her inside. The moment they opened the vi door, two ghost-pale faces greeted them. Hamilton instinctively stepped back as his two brothers lunged toward him, grabbing onto his arms as they cried out.


    “Hamilton, Josh ispletely heartless! The news just said he ran off—he actually ran away! We’re his brothers! It’s bad enough to scam outsiders, but he cheated us! That was everything I owned! What do I do now? I’m ruined! I swear, I’m going to jump off a building!”
