Chapter 933

Brad flicked his hand like he was shooing away a fly."What does Daniela know anyway? She's just a pregnant woman. What could she possibly figure out? She's spouting nonsense, and you actually believed her? Don't tell me you're that gullible."

Ethan didn't care to chime in. All he could think about was the pain throbbing in his mangled finger."Damn that Daniela. So protective. One day, I'll make her pay for this finger."

Jules' eyes drifted to the villa, then dropped to the empty paper in his hands. A restless feeling stirred in his gut.

When Jules neared the gate, he leaned close to his right-hand man and whispered, "Get some eyes on Josh. Find out what he's really doing these days." The man beside him paused, blinking hard. "You actually trust what Daniela hinted? You think Josh is hiding something? If he catches wind of this, he'll blow up for sure."

Jules's brow furrowed. "Then don't let him find out.Daniela's not the type to speak for nothing.Check it all. I want peace of mind. Also, dig into McCoy Group's books and watch for any strange money moves."

His right-hand man dipped his head. "Understood,Mr. McCoy. I'll handle it."

Only then did Jules' shoulders drop a little. He headed inside,ready to rest.

When the house grew quiet, the right-hand man slipped out the back, found a dark corner, and called a number. "MAr. McCoy, just as you guessed. Jules is suspicious after Daniela opened her mouth.

Josh's calm voice came through. "Then you know what comes next." Of course. I'll keep blaming Daniela for everything.But do you think she actually caught on to something?

A soft silence lingered before Josh answered, "Doubt it. I've covered my tracks well. She's pregnant. What does she see? Probably just a lucky guess. Let it go.Keep Jules calm. I'll take care of the rest."

"Understood."

Josh asked, "Did they stop by to see Daniela today?"

"Yes,they did."

Josh let out a cold laugh. "And they didn't show up empty-handed, did they?" He knew his family too well.

The voice on the line answered, "They sure didn't.Brad brought poisoned ginseng. Jules slipped in a baby doll with a hidden camera. Ethan handed over some supplements. If Daniela swallows even one pill,her baby won't last an hour."

Josh's grin grew sharp. "My dear brothers never disappoint."

After a beat, Josh asked, "Did you deliver everything I ordered?"

"It's all in place. The villa is locked down for now, but that doesn't matter. Our men disguised as sanitation workers cover every corner around the estate. No move from the will slip by us. I'll update you if anything stirs. Also, we've treated the flowers and plants with a slow poison. Every time Daniela passes through, she breathes it in. Even if she carries to term,that baby won't be healthy."

Josh chuckled, voice icy. "I expect good news soon."He ended the call.

Meanwhile, back in his room, Jules watched the feeds showing Daniela's movements. A knock pulled him from the screen.

"Mr. McCoy, we ran the checks. McCoy Group's accounts look steady. The stock price keeps dropping sharply, but otherwise there's nothing strange. As for Josh, his money flow is clean. Same

old spending, same routines. We also tracked him around town. Other than working late at the office and visiting his usual restaurants, nothing stands out.And with the stock crashing, he's been staying at the company past three in the morning, working nonstop."

Jules nodded again and again. "Josh really is giving it his all. I knew Daniela was trying to distract me.I shouldn't have doubted my big brother over her words."

A pang of guilt pressed on him. He vowed right then -no matter what came next, Josh would always have his loyalty.
