Chapter 299:
Three days later, at Hillside Villa.
“Marc sent this over. Do you want to see what’s inside?” Wyatt slid a folder across the polished table toward Amelia.
Curiosity and unease flickered across her face as she stared at the folder. Inside was not something trivial, but the DNA test results for Ricky and her. Wyatt had encouraged her to send hair samples for testing, even though Amelia already knew the truth.
She sat quietly for a few seconds, then reached for the folder and flipped it open. Pulling out the thin report, she immediately saw the conclusion: “No blood relationship p>
While gripping the report, Amelia blurted, “I finally understand everything now.” Ricky had always treated her with coldness, never once showing warmth. As a child, she had wished for his affection, but no amount of effort had made him notice her, let alone care. After Dayna entered the picture, she had thought Ricky simply favored Dayna. Now the truth was laid bare—she had never been Ricky’s child.
Oddly, she didn’t feel heartbroken. A strange sense of relief swept over her instead. This was freeing. Nothing would hold her back from fighting for her mother’s justice now.
Placing the report on the table, Amelia turned to Wyatt. “Did the court give a verdict p>
“In court, Ricky claimed he only gave your mother those stimulants to ease her pain. And she was already very sick at the time. That’s why he only got ten years p>
Anger flashed in Amelia’s eyes—not at the sentence, but at how Ricky had twisted the truth. Laura had managed to pin the entire mess on Ricky, which got her off the hook.

Because Nadia was unwell, she was not punished. Her children, however, were jailed for siphoning public funds.
“Mr. Stewart, your plane is waiting p>
Kurt’s voice interrupted their conversation. Wyatt turned to Amelia and asked, “Should we let the Morrison family know p>
Seeing Amelia nod, Wyatt told Kurt, “Call the Morrison family over right away p>
Thirty minutes later, Laura appeared alone at the training field behind Hillside Villa. Amelia blinked in surprise at the sight.
Reading her confusion, Wyatt explained, “Santos has ended his marriage to Laura p>
“When did that happen?” Amelia asked.
“Today,” Wyatt replied.
The moment Ricky landed behind bars, the truth about Katrina’s fate reached Santos. On the day Laura returned to the Morrison estate, Santos immediately filed for divorce, willing to leave the marriage with nothing. Bankruptcy hadn’t emptied the Morrisons entirely, yet Santos refused every bit of what remained and insisted on parting ways.
Knowing Wyatt planned to send Jaxton overseas, Santos kept his distance and stayed away from today’s meeting. Amelia had reached out to the Morrison family out of respect for Santos; even though he didn’t come, she allowed Laura a final moment with Jaxton.
Denny’s attack had left Jaxton with a serious leg injury, and he now walked with a limp. Despite Laura’s overwhelming emotions, Jaxton remained calm, almost indifferent. Locked in that basement, he had had plenty of time to reflect. His anger had first fixed on Amelia and Wyatt; then he found reasons to blame Laura for pushing him into the engagement. In the end, he accepted that it was all his own doing. So when Wyatt’s men took him, Jaxton boarded the plane without questions and without a backward glance.
Laura’s eyes followed her son’s departure, brimming with tears. “Tell me where you’re taking him p>
“If you want him to stay alive, you’ll cooperate with us and ask no more questions. Otherwise, you can start planning his funeral,” Wyatt said.
Although Laura was ready to argue, fear for Jaxton’s safety made her fall silent. Once Laura was led away, Amelia turned to Wyatt. “Where are you sending Jaxton p>
“The Stewart Group has some sites in a far-off region. He is sent there,” Wyatt replied.
Everyone knew that place was notorious for its harsh way of life. Wyatt never planned on letting Jaxton have it easy after what he’d done.
Upon hearing his answer, Amelia nodded without further comment. Just then, her phone rang. Whatever she heard on the line left her with a strange look on her face.
Wyatt noticed and quietly asked, “What happened p>
