Chapter 1538
Chapter 1538:
“Mr. McCoy, the data’s rock-solid. Not a single flaw. There's nothing to worry about.”
Hamilton stood before the towering glass window, a premium cigar smoldering lazily between his fingers.
Daniela’s fierce words echoed in his mind: “A billion might feel like pocket change to you now, but you'd better
cherish it while you still can. Soon, you won't even be able to scrape together that amount.”
The check remained tucked in his pocket, yet it pressed down on him like a slab of granite. Hamilton took a slow
drag from his cigar.
“When the market opens tomorrow, | don’t want to see even a ripple in McCoy Group's stock price.”
The marketing manager smothered a yawn and nodded briskly. “Absolutely! Consider it done.”
Later that evening, inside a private club, the board members of McCoy Group assembled, though Hamilton was
absent. The room buzzed with energy—glasses clinked, and chatter flowed like wine.
“So, when's Cedric finally joining the McCoy family?”
“Who knows? Hamilton's losing his edge—he can’t even get his own son to follow orders.”

“Hamilton’s not that impressive. He just struck gold with mineral resources—anyone could have done it. But
Cedric? He made Daniela the world’s richest in no time!”
“Exactly. | never imagined the McCoy line would produce someone that exceptional.”
“If Hamilton can’t reel his son in, why don’t we do it ourselves? What do you all say?”
“That's a goldmine just begging to be tapped.”
The men exchanged knowing looks.

One of them murmured warily, “But what if Hamilton finds out and flips?”
“So what? If Cedric says yes, Hamilton's feelings won't mean a thing. He can pack up and leave the company.”
“And really, why would Cedric say no? Who wouldn’t want to lead the McCoy empire?”
At that, a greedy gleam sparked in every eye, their hunger for riches plain as day.
Hamilton stood just outside the door, narrowing his eyes as every word drifted clearly to his ears.
The board members of McCoy Group acted swiftly. By nightfall, they went to see Cedric.
They waited until Daniela and Carol had departed before entering. Still, they hadn't anticipated being halted by
security personnel.
“Do you have any clue who you're talking to? Who gave you the nerve to stop us?”
The guard remained composed.
