Chapter 272:

“Wyatt, is there some conflict between you and the Mills family p>

Amelia recognized Hank as Colton’s right-hand man. Since Hank kept going to see Collen to ask him to stir up trouble for the Stewart Group, she figured Colton must be pulling the strings. Back when Wyatt was unconscious, the Mills family had interfered during the Stewart Group’s internal turmoil. That move had set off all sorts of concerns for Amelia.

Collen’s updates hinted that things were far messier than Amelia had expected.

“It’s not the Mills family that’s out to get me. Colton’s the one holding a grudge against me,” Wyatt said.

“Really?” Amelia widened her eyes.

Wyatt noticed the confusion written all over her face and decided to share a quick rundown about Kretol’s top four families and their tangled history. At first, the Mills family ran the show in Kretol, but everything changed once Wyatt took control of the Stewart family. He toppled the Mills family’s dominance without any help. So, people started whispering about Colton, mocking him and turning his name into a punchline in Kretol.

Amelia, during her time at the Stewart Group, had seen the leading families of Kretol doing business together. She had assumed their ties were stable and had no idea about the rivalries simmering beneath the surface. Even though Wyatt had only said a few words, she could feel the heat of the competition.

“If Colton can’t guide the Mills family forward, that just shows his lack of capability. I can’t believe someone in his position would stoop to these kinds of tricks,” she said. “People like him always lean on shady tactics, but he won’t be able to keep it up for long p>

With those words, Wyatt passed a folder to Amelia.

Reflex kicked in, and Amelia shook her head. “I’m not with the Stewart Group anymore. I really shouldn’t be looking at the company documents p>

“You may have left the company, but you’re still a shareholder, aren’t you?” Wyatt said.

That reminder made Amelia smile. She accepted the folder and flipped it open. Just a glance at the cover page left her stunned. “You’re planning to buy out the Mills Group p>

The document was a corporate acquisition proposal, and Amelia’s intuition immediately told her that it was aimed at the Mills Group. Wyatt’s answer made it clear her instincts were spot on.

“Isn’t that a bit too challenging?” Amelia asked.

The Mills Group might not be as powerful as the Stewart Group, but it stood tall among the city’s top four businesses. Amelia had noticed the Mills family pulling small stunts here and there, but since Wyatt had never retaliated, she had guessed he might be wary of the Mills family. Now, it turned out that the cautious front had only been a smokescreen for his real intentions. When Wyatt acted, it was a decisive strike.
