Chapter 179:
The idea that Ricky would go straight to Wyatt had never once crossed Amelia’s mind. She had assumed that after turning him down, he would abandon his pursuit of the chip. Time and again, she misjudged Ricky’s willingness to push boundaries.
Irritation flashed through Amelia, quickly chased by a tremor of anxiety. Glancing at the man at her side, she blurted, “I didn’t expect him to come to you. I already told him no p>
“You don’t have to explain. I know,” Wyatt said, gently interrupting her.
That unwavering trust in his eyes steadied her. Without another word, she gathered the transfer papers and marched toward the door. Nothing else mattered in that moment except returning the shares to Ricky and getting the chip back.
Wyatt caught on immediately and reached out to stop her. “Amelia, even if your father hadn’t come to me, I would still give the chip to the Flynn Group p>
Amelia paused, confusion written across her face as she looked back at him.
“Don’t you remember? I told you I’d help you win back the Flynn Group,” he said. “That company’s roots are in electronics, and this chip is the key to pushing past old limits. With it, you’re in a better position to step in p>
Their marriage had always included the plan for Wyatt to support her in reclaiming the Flynn Group. Amelia, however, hadn’t put much weight on that promise.
Wyatt seemed to read the doubt clouding her thoughts. “Everyone in Kretol knows we’re married now. If you’re going to reclaim the Flynn Group, this is your chance p>
“I’m not ready to take back the Flynn Group yet,” Amelia repeated the words she had told Dalia.

Understanding she was worried about her own capabilities, Wyatt said, “That’s not an issue. I can assist you with anything you encounter. You don’t need to p>
“I can’t let you solve everything for me p>
Amelia knew that having Wyatt behind her would make everything too easy. That wasn’t the path she wanted. She pictured herself leading the Flynn Group with her own hands, taking it somewhere new, not depending on Wyatt whenever the road became rough.
Wyatt respected her resolve and let the subject of the Flynn Group drop. If she ever decided to reclaim the company, he would pave the way. If she chose to carve her own path, he would quietly support her growth.
Wyatt’s calming words convinced Amelia to set aside any plans of rushing over to the Flynn Group.
Just then, his phone rang. He frowned at the number on the screen but answered.
“Bring her back now.” Conroy’s voice was firm and unwavering.
Wyatt hesitated, ready to protest, but Conroy seemed to anticipate him and added, “She is not just your wife; she is also a member of the Stewart family now p>
Conroy’s words were clear enough for Amelia to hear every syllable. As soon as the call ended, she said, “Let’s not make your grandfather wait p>
Wyatt’s eyes darkened with concern when he noticed the fresh bandages on her face. Still, Conroy’s point held weight. As a Stewart, her presence at these gatherings was expected.
By the time they arrived at the Stewart Mansion, it was already past eight in the evening. Lights bathed the grand home in warmth, and nearly everyone had arrived. A quiet sense of relief swept over Amelia, knowing her presence would put a stop to the rumors.
Warm welcomes greeted her as she stepped inside. It dawned on her how differently the Stewart family treated her now—far more welcoming than ever before. A moment’s reflection revealed why. Not long ago, whispers in the halls had assumed she and Wyatt were heading for divorce, so most people had kept their distance.
Now that the truth was out, Wyatt’s unwavering support had cemented her place within the family. Returning each welcome with a bright smile, Amelia did her best to blend into the cheerful scene.
For a brief while, laughter and conversation filled the air.
Trouble arrived soon enough in the form of a sharp voice that broke the pleasant spell. “Wyatt, as your aunt, I have to remind you, the Stewart Group is not yours alone. Major decisions, like giving the chip to the Flynns, deserve discussion. Are you truly helping your wife, or just putting the rest of us at a disadvantage p>
