?Chapter 1705:


    She lingered at the entrance, letting her eyes rest on Carol for a moment.


    By the time Carol noticed, Dani had already slipped inside.


    Brad kept an eye on Hamilton until he disappeared from sight. He lounged on the sofa and caught sight of Cedric handing Dani a small bowl of pomegranate seeds. It was the bowl he had poisoned.


    A smug grin yed on Brad’s lips as he called out, “Bring me a cup of coffee,” directing the housekeeper with a wave.


    Soon after, a steaming cup arrived. Brad, distracted by the television and stealing nces at Dani, failed to notice that a man’s hand had ced the cup before him.


    Still wearing that satisfied smile, he took a long sip, settling even deeper into his seat.<fnbe16> Fresh chapters posted on ?ovelFind</fnbe16>


    Ethan came strolling in from outside and asked offhandedly, “Brad, have you written out your confession yet?”


    That wiped the grin right off Brad’s face. He shot a nervous nce toward Dani and Cedric, making sure they hadn’t heard, then hissed, “Confession? Are you insane? Who could write such a thing? Didn’t you already write one? Leave me out of it!”


    Ethan’s brow furrowed. “Then what are you hanging around for? Shouldn’t you be back at Josh’s ce by now?”


    Quick to react, Brad pped a hand over Ethan’s mouth and hustled him away to his bedroom.


    Dani, hearing the noise, nced their way and then focused on the empty coffee cup nearby.


    The maid, unaware of anything unusual, spotted the finished cup and promptly brewed a fresh one, bringing it out with practiced efficiency.


    After sternly warning Ethan to keep his mouth shut, Brad slipped out and retrieved the second coffee, savoring a leisurely sip. The rich scent made him close his eyes in contentment.

    In just five days, he reminded himself, the poison would start working again, and 40% of McCoy Group’s shares would be his for the taking.


    Humming a tuneless song, Brad swung his legs back and forth, entirely pleased with how things were unfolding.


    Dani barely noticed anything happening around her; she was glued to the ser game on TV.


    Later that day, while Dani was getting ready for a nap, the rumble of a car outside signaled a visitor’s arrival at the vi.


    Hamilton hade back. She lingered for a moment in the living room, only to see Brad’s door swing open. He ran out in a rush.


    After a brief hesitation, Dani quietly climbed the stairs.


    Meanwhile, in the vi’s sunlit yard, Hamilton stepped out of the car, barely getting his bearings before Brad hurried over to greet him. “So? Did you talk to the Rowe family? What did they say?”
