Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1647:

After a few moments of awkward silence, Hamilton finally blurted, “You couldn’t even run a business right.”

Brad stood there, speechless. Hamilton, for all his bluster, still fell short when it came to facing Josh head-on.

Ethan couldn’t hide his surprise—he would have gladly handed the floor to Daniela if he’d known things would go this way. Hamilton was nothing short of a ridiculous fool.

Josh let out a low, genuine laugh, clearly amused by Hamilton’s lack of backbone. He’d always known why Hamilton could never stand up to him. Back in their grandfather’s day, their father was the eldest son but never earned the family’s approval. The real star had been his younger brother, the second son—outshining everyone and fueling a bitter resentment that simmered for decades.

Ironically, history repeated itself. Their father, despite having five kids, found his own second son, Hamilton, outshining the eldest when it came to talent. Unable to let go of old grudges, their father dumped his pent-up frustrations from the past onto Hamilton, stifling him at every turn.

Hamilton grew up without so much as a word of praise, each slight pushing him further away until he finally left home and crossed paths with Cedric’s mother. In front of Hamilton, Josh carried himself with the calm authority of an older brother. So watching Hamilton shrink back now, Josh wasn’t the least bit surprised.
