Chapter 282:
Shortly after dinner, Hiram hastened to Hillside Villa, urgency propelling his steps. The mere mention of Jaxton’s name cast a shadow over Amelia and Wyatt, their faces hardening in unison. A fierce glint of retribution flickered in Wyatt’s eyes, betraying his barely contained fury.
When Wyatt had whisked Amelia away from Denny’s place, he had dispatched a message to Hiram, directing him to delve deeply into the incident at the Harvest Moon Restaurant. Anyone who had gotten involved shouldn’t be off the hook.
Hiram had been tirelessly digging into the matter of Michelle’s collapse due to Ricky’s provocation, but a breakthrough remained elusive, gnawing at his conscience. After all, Wyatt had paid him well for doing it, which heightened his unease over his lack of progress. Thus, when Wyatt tasked him with unraveling what had happened at Harvest Moon Restaurant, Hiram swiftly mobilized his network of contacts. The moment he gathered substantial leads, he made a beeline for Hillside Villa.
Placing a document before Wyatt, Hiram explained, “Jaxton has fled Kretol. Our investigation reveals he has boarded a train bound for Nectarbrook. I’ve already dispatched Davin and his crew to intercept him. The two bodyguards who accompanied Mrs. Stewart to the restaurant have been located, and Barrie has taken his team to apprehend them.

Hiram had meticulously followed Wyatt’s orders, investigating all parties involved. Arranging for Jaxton’s and the bodyguards’ capture was straightforward, but Ricky, Amelia’s father, presented a dilemma. Hiram hesitated, uncertain how to deal with him.
Knowing that Ricky had orchestrated the scheme ignited a spark of resentment in Wyatt’s gaze. Were it not for Ricky’s familial tie to Amelia, the Flynn family might have already suffered the same grim fate as the Morrison family. But with Ricky being Amelia’s father, Wyatt, despite his seething anger, knew he had to tread carefully, mindful of Amelia’s feelings.
Wyatt gently handed the document to Amelia. After she perused it, he asked, “How do you plan to handle this p>
Amelia fell silent, her eyes turning dark.
Ricky’s recent actions had been odd, and though Amelia had suspected he might target her, she had never fathomed he would stoop to such cruelty, aiming to ruin her reputation entirely. Had Jaxton succeeded at the Harvest Moon Restaurant, her reputation would have been irreparably tarnished, leaving her an object of scorn in Kretol. Did Ricky truly despise her so deeply? He even wished her ruin!
And what about her mother? Had Ricky tampered with her medication? Amelia had planned to coax answers from Laura, but the day’s events had stripped her of patience. After sharing her thoughts with Wyatt, Amelia added, “As for the Flynn family, I’ll decide what to do after getting Laura to talk p>

Ricky’s actions had pushed Wyatt beyond his limits. At Amelia’s words, he didn’t immediately assent but responded with a steely edge, “This is his final chance. If he crosses the line again, even though he is your father, I won’t hold back p>
