Chapter 426

Chapter 426:

“Wyatt did bring up the idea of investing in the project, but I refused,” Amelia said.

This venture had been hers alone. But if she allowed Wyatt to contribute, people would dismiss her efforts and credit everything to the Stewart Group. All the work she had put into the project would be buried beneath whispers that Wyatt had carried her to success. That was something she couldn’t accept.

There was also a deeper reason behind her refusal. She wanted to prove to the Stewart family that she deserved to stand beside Wyatt.

To prove herself, she had to rely on her own strength. Achievements gained through Wyatt’s influence would mean nothing.

Kelsey’s proposal today had arrived at just the right time, offering Amelia the chance she had been waiting for.

After Amelia explained her choice, Carlee finally understood why Amelia had agreed to collaborate with Kelsey.

Still, memories of Kelsey’s past attachment to Wyatt made Carlee uneasy. She asked, “You’re not actually convinced she’s over Wyatt, are you p>

Amelia paused before answering, “I believe she is over Wyatt p>

While they spoke, Kelsey had already departed Hillside Villa. She carried the contract home and placed it firmly in front of her father.

“Will you believe me now?” she asked.

Trevor Finch frowned at the contract, clearly confused. “What is this supposed to be p>

“Why don’t you open it and find out p>

At Kelsey’s urging, Trevor unfolded the contract and scanned its contents.

Years of business experience allowed Trevor to spot authenticity at once. That was why his brows lifted in genuine surprise as he looked at her. “So… you’ve finally given up on Wyatt p>

After all, if Kelsey were not over Wyatt, she would never have chosen to partner with Wyatt’s wife.

Kelsey’s choice carried two clear intentions. She saw promise in the handheld computer project, and she wanted her father to see that she was really over Wyatt.

Trevor had spent months pressuring Kelsey into blind dates, unwilling to watch his daughter waste her youth pining for a man who already belonged to someone else.

No matter how accomplished Wyatt was, he had a wife. To Trevor’s traditional way of thinking, it was disgraceful for his daughter to chase after him.

Now, with Kelsey taking a different path, Trevor no longer felt the urgency to arrange more blind dates for her.

His expression softened as he gazed at the young woman across from him. “I’ll speak with your mother. We’ll put an end to the blind dates p>

“Thank you, Dad. I p>

“But remember, you’re not getting any younger. You still need to find the right man and settle down soon,” Trevor interjected before Kelsey could finish.

The small smile that had just touched Kelsey’s lips disappeared the instant he said that.
