BossNovelChapter 1718:
Fury left Hamilton breathless, his chest rising and falling sharply.
Unbothered, Carol replied, “I do like Nikolas. But you were the one who said we're not a good match, right? Since
he’s moved on and is seeing someone else, why should | feel guilty? I'm loyal to those who belong to me. If he
isn’t mine, | don’t owe him anything.”
There had always been a chill about Carol, as if warmth had never found a place in her. Years beside Daniela had
taught Carol to be icy and ruthless, both to herself and others. Confidence shaped every word, leaving no doubt
about her stance.
Despite his mounting frustration, Hamilton couldn't muster a comeback, left searching for words that wouldn't
come.
A sudden creak broke the tension as the door to Brad's room swung open, and he stepped into the hallway.
Hamilton shot him a sideways glance. “You're showering in the middle of the day? And you didn’t even bother to
dry your hair. Is that cologne | smell? Seriously, how much did you use? The whole room reeks.”

hairdryer. Anyway, Hamilton, what brings you here?”

He looked up and met a wall of stares from Daniela, Cedric, and Carol. Daniela’s gaze lingered the longest.
Something about her eyes—cool, sharp, with just a hint of mockery—sent a chill through him. No matter what
excuse he cup with, Brad felt completely exposed under her scrutiny.
A shaky smile appeared. “What's with the intense looks? Don’t askabout Ethan, | have no clue where he
went.”
Nerves flickered in his eyes as he looked away.

Doubt creased Hamilton's brow as he pulled out his phone. “You're sure? Ethan invitedover, said he had
news. Now he’s vanished. What's he up to? I'll just call and check.”
Brad went pale in an instant.
“Hamilton!” he yelled, his voice rising above the soft buzz of the phone. “Letcall Ethan. I've got something |
need to discuss with him too.” Before Hamilton could react, Brad snatched the phone and hung up.
