NovelEnglishChapter 1701:
Cedric barely acknowledged him, giving a dismissive sound before urging Daniela to go ahead and rest upstairs.
While Cedric set about making juice for Daniela, the housekeeper slipped quietly into the kitchen to tidy up.
Midway through loading oranges into the juicer, Cedric paused to ask, “Has anyone else been in here today?”
Pausing to recall, the housekeeper shook her head. “No one has cthrough the kitchen. After Mr. McCoy hurt
himself, he went to lie down. I've been cleaning the living room ever since, and he hasn't left his room.”
Taking that in stride, Cedric gave a nod, poured the juice, and set it aside. He reached into the fridge, grabbed a
pomegranate, and began peeling it. Midway through the task, a strange sensation prickled the back of his neck—
a pair of eyes seemed fixed on him.
He glanced back, but whatever had been watching quickly disappeared. With the fruit in hand, Cedric climbed
the stairs and noticed Brad and Hamilton stationed in the living room, watching television together.
Pleased with himself, Brad tracked Cedric’s progress up the stairs, then turned to Hamilton, his grin wide.
“Hamilton, when our father named you to lead McCoy Group, it was the right call. | finally see how much you had
to deal with.” After a brief pause, Brad added, “Seems Nikolas is causing quite a stir in the business world these

players in jewelry, even invitedout for coffee. But | suspect their real interest is meeting Nikolas.”
While Hamilton's attention stayed mostly on the flickering screen, he answered, “If they want to see Nikolas, let
them.”
His thoughts kept circling back to Daniela and the coming babies.
Out of nowhere, Brad leaned in and whispered, “Are you really that oblivious? The Rowe family practically sits on
a mountain of jewels, and their only child is a daughter.”
“Egan Rowe never hides the fact he wants a son-in-law to step up and lead. I'd bet he already has Nikolas in
mind.”

Hamilton sent him a sideways look. “I doubt that’s the plan.”
“Why wouldn't it be? Egan could easily reach Nikolas himself. What's the point in askingfor an introduction
unless he’s already sizing him up for the role? Trust me, the old man has his sights set.”
That made Hamilton laugh. “Good for them. The Rowe family has plenty of influence.”
