Chapter 924

Josh never imagined Hamilton would go so far as to mock him right to his face.

His anger boiling over, he jabbed a finger at Hamilton. "I'm still your older brother, no matter what. What's that supposed to mean? Are you actually hoping I never have a grandson? You better get your facts straight. Daniela only went to buy a pregnancy test. There's no proof she's expecting.You're jumping the gun!"

Brad interjected, "Seriously, Hamilton, maybe take it down a notch. What if Daniela isn't pregnant? You might be the one feeling sorry in the end."

As he said it, Brad shot a pointed look at Hamilton.

Jules added fuel to the fire with a sarcastic smile.

"From what I heard, Daniela's been fragile since her last miscarriage. I doubt she'd get pregnant again so quickly. You might just be setting yourself up for disappointment."

Hamilton's secretary stood by, visibly struggling to keep quiet.

He wanted to say something in Daniela's defense,but a sharp look from Josh made him bite his tongue.

Hamilton started to worry he'd gone too far. lf Daniela wasn't actually pregnant, everyone would turn on him for celebrating too soon.

He couldn't help but think he'd rejected the princess a little hastily.

If the test came back negative, he would have lost more than just his pride.

That thought led Hamilton to consider texting the princess, hoping there was still a chance to patch things up.

Daniela's health had always been Cedric's top priority. Even a small patch of sunlight would have Cedric rushing over with an umbrella. Was it really possible for her to get pregnant so easily? It seemed unlikely.

Hamilton's early excitement faded fast, leaving him with nothing but regret.

The rest of the McCoy family watched Hamilton with mocking smiles. "Let's all go see if Daniela is pregnant!"

Their voices rang out, bold and unrestrained.

In a low voice, the secretary tried to reassure Hamilton. "It's a fifty-fifty chance that she's pregnant. Don't losehope, Mr.McCoy."

Hamilton answered with clear irritation, "Half the chance means she might not be pregnant at all, and even if she is, there's still the possibility it's a girl. So many outcomes could make me look foolish. The more I celebrate now, the bigger the joke will be on me later."

Josh overheard Hamilton's complaints and said with a mocking grin, "So you know you'll get laughed at. I thought you were so worked up because you were positive Daniela was having a boy. Turns out you're just guessing like the rest of us."

The McCoy family burst out laughing, their eyes nearly closing with amusement as they shook with laughter.

The secretary couldn't hold back any longer."There's always a chance, isn't there? Daniela's got that regal look about her. If she's expecting, it's sure to be a boy."

A sharp smack rang out as the secretary was slapped.

Hamilton's brows knit together, ready to defend his secretary, but Josh cut him off. "What's the problem? I'm your older brother. If you can't keep your own people in line, then I'll do it for you.If our father were here, he'd be on my side."

With a sharp edge in his voice, Hamilton said, "I'll handle my own team when it comes to discipline." Josh responded, "Oh, will you? I have my doubts."

Without another word, he brushed past Hamilton with a smug air and headed into the villa.

At that moment, Daniela stepped out of the bathroom, only to find a crowd of McCoy family members charging in.

The maid beside her began to tremble, clearly scared.

The McCoy family's overwhelming presence filled the room with tension. "Where's Daniela?"
