Chapter 1524
Chapter 1524:
“Not sure, but did you catch how shaken Nikolas was? He looked so rattled, you'd think he belonged to the
Harper family instead.”
“I heard Daniela stormed into the club last night to get Nikolas out. Looks like those two have been sticking
together for stnow.”
“Are you serious? If Daniela’s already digging into the past, it’s only a matter of tbefore she uncovers
everything. We need to act fast!”
“And what do you propose? Daniela’s reach is growing by the day. McCoy Group might still be on top, but
Daniela’s company is gaining fast. Any sudden move from us could set off a financial disaster.”
“We're out of options. So what exactly are we supposed to do now?”
A heavy quiet settled over the boardroom once more.
Someone finally spoke up. “If we try to go after her financially, we'll just end up hurting ourselves, too. Perhaps,
we can find a scapegoat.”
That remark sparked a lively buzz around the table, unleashing a wave of fresh ideas.
“Exactly, a scapegoat.”
“After all these years, could Daniela really dig up the truth?”
“If we hand over a scapegoat, Daniela might just let it go.”
“Isn't that why Daniela even cto Oiscoll? Once she gets what she wants, she'll likely leave, and things can
settle down again.”
“Sounds fine to me.”

“That makes sense.”
Hamilton's irritation grew as he glanced around at the board members, all too intimidated by Daniela for his
liking.

“Fine. Which one of you is volunteering to be the scapegoat?” he asked.
The moment Hamilton said that, silence swept through the boardroom.
Hamilton, on the other hand, stayed completely unfazed.
“I know what's running through your minds right now. You're hoping to pin this on soutsider and let them
take the fall, aren’t you? But let’s get real. Daniela didn’t get where she is by being naive. Do you really believe
you can fool her that easily? Someone has to answer for her mother’s death. So, who's volunteering?”
Hamilton's blunt challenge left everyone at a loss for words.

“Why not just tell Daniela it was your decision?”
Hamilton raised his head in disbelief.
The shareholder continued, “Cedric is
your son, isn't he? That makes
Daniela your daughter-in-law. We
made a terrible mistake all those
years ago, but the tatty Js-
just wahs@ormeone to admit what
happened. If you, as her father-in-law,
cclean and try to make it right,
do you really think she'd cafter
you? With her connection to Cedric,
she wouldn't dare touch you. But if
any of us stepped forward, she would
never let it go. She's got a reputation
in the mercenary world, and none of
us would walk away unscathed.” The

A bitter laugh escaped Hamilton. “So
now you've all suddenly turned
thoughtful and decided | should be
the one thrown under the bus? That's
your brilliant plan? | was the only one
who stood up againg! (Oe eof |
kitting ht fother. | said that
business was business, but taking
someone's life crossed the line. And
what did you tell me? You claimed
Daniela’s mother had too much
power, that she threatened the future
of McCoy Group, and that the death
of one woman wasn't something
serious. When you made your move,
you gotso drunk that | had to
sleep at home. Now that things are
falling apart, you expectto take
the fall? That's not happening!” The
