Chapter 229:

The moment Wyatt brought up the five percent shares, Jewell immediately thought Wyatt had set his sights on his shares. Relief swept over him as soon as Amelia spoke, making it clear that his shares were not being taken away.

Kamila, meanwhile, simmered with anger. It was she who had persuaded Jewell to give Rory and Pattie shares when they were born. Surrendering their shares to Wyatt just like this was more than she could stand. And for Pattie, the very idea was also unbearable. Losing her own two percent seemed utterly unfair, especially since she had nothing to do with any of this.

Still, Conroy’s mind was made up. With Conroy’s silent approval, Wyatt signaled for someone to draft the paperwork. Once the contract landed in his hands, Jewell wasted no time. He leafed through the pages in haste, searching for any sign that his own portion might be threatened.

As his eyes hit the final page, his whole body went rigid. Rage flickered across his face as he glared at Wyatt. “Have you lost your mind? Why would you hand all five percent to Amelia p>

The Stewart family could only stare, eyes wide with disbelief, while Amelia’s own shock left her frozen for a beat. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the contract. Sure enough, her name was right there in black and white. Turning to Wyatt, she said quickly, “I can’t take this p>

“If you refuse, I’ll just sell these shares as scattered stocks,” Wyatt replied.

Upon hearing Amelia’s refusal, the Stewart family thought she was sensible. But Wyatt’s words soon made everyone start urging Amelia to accept the five percent shares. Della even pressed a pen into her palm. Kamila watched the scene, resentment in her eyes, feeling powerless to intervene.

Once Amelia signed, Wyatt wasted no time and left the Stewart Mansion with her. On the ride home, Amelia leaned toward Wyatt and quietly offered to return every single share.

“You don’t have to feel pressured about this. You’re my wife now. Think of these shares as a gift, nothing more,” Wyatt said.

“But it doesn’t feel right.” In all of Kretol, everyone knew the Stewart Group’s shares were invaluable. Even a handful of the shares Wyatt gifted her could outstrip the worth of some companies.

Wyatt’s laughter came soft and warm. “You are the most precious person in the world to me. I just want you to have the best p>

Wyatt’s words made Amelia very happy. Despite that, the thought of owning something so valuable still made her uneasy. Just as she was about to persuade Wyatt further, his phone rang. Davin’s steady voice relayed the latest news—Rory had gotten into a car crash on his way to the hospital.

Inside the car, Amelia could pick up every word Davin said on the phone. Wyatt answered in a measured tone and then ended the call as though he had seen this coming all along.

A surge of curiosity overcame Amelia, and she asked, “Was this your doing p>

“Yes,” Wyatt answered plainly.

“Did you have a hand in Jaycob’s incident, too p>
