TimeNovelChapter 1449: Nikolas and Damon still hesitated, a flicker of doubt in their eyes. But Hamilton stood firm, exuding his usual air of command and unshakable authority. "Cut the crap and bring them here!" Nikolas and Damon returned and stood before Daniela, relaying Hamilton's message in hushed, cautious tones. "All right. What tshould we be there?" Daniela asked calmly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamon shifted uncomfortably, worry flickering in his eyes. "Maybe you shouldn't go." Daniela looked up with a teasing smile. "What's this? You're not scared of your father anymore?" Damon gave a half-hearted shrug. "He's always angry anyway. One more reason won't make a difference." Daniela offered a gentle reassurance. "It's fine." She had intended to face Hamilton sooner or later. She needed to confirm the real culprit for her mother's death and the explosion; she didn't want to go after the wrong person.
When Hamilton's birthday arrived, the group made their appearance at the lavish celebration.
Hamilton looked visibly pleased. “Daniela, you must try this red wine I just uncorked—it's absolutely divine." As he spoke, he exchanged a glance with Alexander, then his gaze settled on Cedric. He gave a slow nod, clearly pleased with what he saw.
Cedric struck him as a mirror of his younger self-calm under pressure, razor-sharp, and unmistakably gifted in business. Lately, Cedric's nhad been buzzing through Oiscoll's business circles with praise-and that filled Hamilton with a quiet pride. Kohen stood off to the side, finding Hamilton's satisfaction somewhat stinging. "Cedric," Hamilton said with a faint smile, "I'd like a word with you in private. Joinin my study later." Kohen tensed at once. "Father!" he blurted out, alarmed.
Original entry at galnolsHamilton didn't spare Kohen a glance. His gaze stayed fixed on Cedric. "You're my son. It's my birthday. You wouldn't turndown, would you?" Cedric didn't care much for birthdays-least of all Hamilton's. The only reason he'd cwas because Daniela had her plans, and he didn't want her going alone.
"The place is crawling with reporters. You wouldn't let your old man lose face, would you, Cedric? Don't worry, I've got no tricks up my sleeve. I'm seventy, you're..." "My son, what harm could I possibly intend? Besides, it's my birthday. What harm could I bring you today? Believe me, as your father, all I want is what's best for you."
Cedric said flatly, "There's no need to go to your study. If you have thou study. If om something to say, say it here." He had no intention of making things easy for Hamilton.
Hamilton didn't take offense; he smiled instead. "That temper just like mine when was your age. Fine. I'll bring the lawyer later, and we'll find somewhere nearby to talk in peace."
The meaning was unmistakable-Hamilton intended to formally acknowledge Cedric as his son.
