Chapter 550:

On the day of Amelia and Wyatt’s wedding, Shepard had spoken to Wyatt in private and made him promise that he would take good care of Amelia. Facing Shepard’s accusation, Wyatt uncharacteristically did not argue.

Kelsey, who had been standing quietly at the side, let out a small chuckle. Shepard turned to her; when his eyes landed on the well-dressed young woman, a glimmer of fondness flickered in them.

Later, once they were settled inside the office, Amelia turned to Shepard. “How did you manage to learn about my company’s problems so quickly p>

Before Shepard could answer, Kelsey lifted her hand. “I was the one who told your brother about it p>

The confession made Amelia stare at Kelsey in surprise.

Her gaze shifted between Kelsey and Shepard, curiosity bright in her eyes. “Are the two of you… together p>

“We are,” Shepard said, clearing his throat as he laced his fingers with Kelsey’s. When Kelsey lifted her eyes, Amelia’s playful glance met hers and a warm flush crept into her cheeks. Instinctively she tried to slip her hand away, but Shepard’s hold stayed firm, refusing to loosen no matter how she tugged.

At that moment, Shepard slid a file across the desk toward Wyatt. At Shepard’s urging, Wyatt opened it with a puzzled look. Inside was a cooperation contract between the Chadwick Group and the Stewart Group.

Seated next to Wyatt, Amelia leaned over to read it, and her eyes grew misty as she absorbed the contents. The agreement was valued in the billions, with the majority of the profits going to the Stewart Group.

“I can’t agree to this,” Wyatt said, pushing the document back across the desk.

Shepard’s expression tightened at Wyatt’s refusal. “This contract isn’t about you. I am doing this for Amelia’s sake p>

The Davis Group was far too small to handle a project of that scale, which was why Shepard had chosen to bring it to Wyatt. What he hadn’t expected was Wyatt’s immediate rejection. Still, a faint respect for Wyatt stirred in him at the decisiveness of that choice.

Hearing Shepard’s words, Wyatt smiled and said, “I understand your intention, but signing this deal could put the Chadwick Group’s finances at risk. From what I’ve gathered, the Figueroa family has been working hard to expand their reach. Your family should be cautious about doing something like this right now p>

Information from Wyatt’s network confirmed that the Figueroa family had already begun pressing into the Chadwick family’s market in Hans. The Chadwicks had little to fear from the Figueroas on their own. What changed the balance was Brielle’s hand in persuading the Brightmore Group to side with the Figueroas, giving them the nerve to target the Chadwick family.

Shepard was taken aback that Wyatt already knew so much about the situation in Hans. Once Wyatt finished speaking, Shepard asked with a puzzled frown, “How exactly did the Figueroa family manage to tie themselves to the Brightmore Group p>

Wyatt’s expression darkened. “It’s not the Figueroa family who has connections with the Brightmore Group—it’s Brielle p>
