Chapter 195:
“What is this p>
Jewell leaned in closer, eyebrows drawn together as he eyed the document. When Amelia refused to utter a word, Lucian took it upon himself to clarify the situation. But before he could say more than a few words, Jewell had begun scanning the contents himself.
Though Jewell had never had real experience running the company, he understood what this document meant. Once the meaning sank in, disbelief twisted his face. He shot Amelia a glare, then shouted, “This can’t be true p>
“Mr. Stewart, I stake my reputation on the truth of this document. Everything here is aboveboard.” Before Amelia could reply, Lucian spoke up, his tone serious. With Lucian’s impressive reputation as a top-tier lawyer, few would doubt his words about something like this.
Although the idea of Wyatt handing over half his wealth and property to Amelia hardly bothered Jewell, stumbling upon the clause about the sixteen percent stake in the company made him exclaim, “Is Wyatt out of his mind p>
Wyatt’s hold on thirty-two percent of the Stewart Group shares made him the most influential shareholder in the company. Even after splitting the shares with Amelia, his standing as the top shareholder would not change.
“I refuse to accept this! I won’t agree to Wyatt handing over his shares to you!” Jewell’s anger was so intense that he didn’t even feel the pain from his wounds. As Conroy’s son and Wyatt’s father, Jewell controlled only a meager five percent of the shares. The mere thought of Amelia securing sixteen percent sent a shadow across his eyes.

Amelia was not surprised by Jewell’s reaction. Meeting his furious gaze without flinching, she replied, “This document holds up in court, whether you like it or not. I am now a principal shareholder, and I have the right to oppose you becoming the acting CEO p>
Those words hit their mark, and Jewell’s breathing became shallow with rage. No matter how hard he searched for a counterargument, her logic left him with nothing to say.
He eventually said, “Amelia, Wyatt is my son, and I am your father-in-law. Doesn’t it bother you that your actions seem so disrespectful to your elder p>
“You’ve got some nerve scolding Amelia!” Della stepped protectively in front of Amelia and let out a short, mocking laugh. “Wyatt can give away his wealth as he sees fit, and you have no right to object. Amelia is his wife. If he wants to share half of his assets with her, so be it. Would you rather he wasted it all on a mistress like you did p>
Jewell’s face darkened further. The dull pain in his arm made him wary of continuing the argument with Della. Turning away, he set his sights on Amelia once more.
“Sixteen percent or not, your vote holds no weight. The company’s bylaws are clear. If the majority supports me as the acting CEO, your protests will be tossed aside. In three days, I’ll hold a shareholder meeting for a vote. By then, whatever you say won’t matter in the least p>
