Chapter 711

A sudden, sharp pain tore through their stomachs like a punch to the gut.

Kohen and Charles shot to their feet in alarm.

Without hesitation, they bolted to the restroom and yanked the door open with urgency.

There, sprawled across the cold tiles, were Nikolas and Richard-completely drained and barely conscious.

"Nikolas!" Kohen called out, panicked.

Nikolas, a disheveled mess on the floor, cracked his eyesopen, barely hanging on.

Just as Nikolas parted his lips to speak, Kohen clutched his rear and bolted like a lunatic.

Charles wasn't far behind, scrambling after him in the same sorry state.

For a brief moment, chaos ruled the room-then slowly, the madness subsided.

Eventually, an ambulance pulled up, hauling away all four of them and putting an end to the messy ordeal.

That night, they exploded across the internet, dominating the trending charts.

"Humiliating Moments-Sons of World's Richest Man!"

"Shocking Collapse! McCoy Brothers' Dignity in Shambles!"

"Scandal Unleashed! Dark Secrets of the McCoy Brothers?"

"Billionaires' Eating Habits Raise Eyebrows Worldwide!"

The presence of the world's richest man sent the news viral-national headlines turned global, even sparking chatter across Oiscoll.

The humiliating fallout of the three brothers became an international spectacle. They gorged themselves into oblivion and collapsed from diarrhea-what a global embarrassment for the McCoy family!

To the clueless outsider, it looked as if the McCoy brothers had never seen real food before in their lives.

In front of flashing cameras, Daniela spoke with regret. "I truly didn't expect the McCoy family's dining etiquette to be so lacking. Over thirty dishes for three men-it's no wonder they had stomach trouble.1sincerely hope Hamilton can provide his sons with better meals in the future."

Daniela was not one to give interviews lightly. So when she did speak-graceful, composed, and with genuine concern-everyone believed her.

Flashing a final smile, she exited the private room with elegance.

As she walked past the front desk, the manager met her eyes.

The manager bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Boss, take care."

Daniela gave a calm nod, then turned to the manager in front of the buzzing reporters. "Even though the McCoy brothers were hosting tonight, considering the circumstances, I'll be footing the bill."

Cameras clicked as reporters eagerly captured the moment.

The public was full of praise. "Ms. Harper is a picture of grace. Even after tonight's humiliation, she's shown nothing but generosity."

Daniela gave a small smile and stepped into her car.

The reporters didn't miss a beat, snapping every frame they could.

The pictures showed her turning back with a final, charming smile before slipping inside the car.

That night, Daniela's public image skyrocketed-riding the wave of the McCoy family's humiliation, she won the hearts of thousands.

Just as her car rolled to a quiet stop outside her home, her phone began to ring.

She glanced at the screen, then answered with a calm swipe. A voice came through-deep,weathered with time, laced with a knowing smile. "Ms. Harper."

Daniela turned her gaze toward Cedric seated beside her.

Without a word, she quietly stepped out of the car and whispered to Cedric,"1need to take this call."

Cedric simply assumed it was business-he never meddled in her corporate affairs.

So,with a nod, he and Carol made their way into the villa.

Once alone, Daniela's voice turned cool and steady. "Mr. McCoy."

Hamilton chuckled, short and dry. "We're all family, aren't we? Don't you think you were a little too ruthless tonight?"

Standing in the villa's garden, encircled by the soft bloom of flowers Cedric had lovingly planted,Daniela drew in a breath of the faint, calming scent. A deep sense of ease settled over her.

"Ruthless?" Daniela echoed, her tone unbothered. "I wouldn't say that."

Hamilton let out a knowing chuckle. "Sounds like Cedric means a lot to you."

Daniela didn't hesitate. "He does."

Even with those three missing years, Cedric still held a place that couldn't be shaken.

Hamilton hadn't expected her to be so candid. He thought Daniela would mask her feelings and act indifferent toward Cedric.

Hamilton chuckled, this time almost fondly. "That's good. Come visit Oiscoll sometime-we'll share a meal.You'll enjoy it."

Daniela's response was sharper, cutting through the pleasantries. "I don't like Oiscoll."

Hamilton's smile faltered. People didn't turn down invitations from the richest man in the world. Not even someone like Daniela.

Still, Hamilton knew how to bide his time with valuable people. "Very well, come when it suits you. I'Il entrust my three idiotic sons to you in the meantime."

Daniela's expression didn't shift. Through the tall window panes, she spotted Cedric at the counter,preparing juice.

Watching Cedric quietly, she said coldly, "Mr. McCoy, if you truly care about your sons, call them back before they embarrass themselves further."

Daniela was the only one who ever dared speak to Hamilton so bluntly.

Hamilton's silence was heavy-Daniela caught the subtle hiss of his strained breath through the line.

She heard it, but remained unfazed. "Well then, goodbye."

She ended the call and turned back to the house.

Just as her hand reached the doorknob, Cedric swung the door open with a smile, offering her a glass of juice. "Here-this should top up your vitamins."

Daniela accepted it and took a sip without a word.

Cedric,pleased,turned back to the kitchen. Carol appeared, watching him with amusement. "I've never met a man who enjoys the kitchen this much-he's practically a homemaker."

Daniela couldn't help but smile.

Carol leaned in, voice hushed. "Lone Wolf is also looking for Winslow."
