Chapter 12:

Even though Wyatt had promised this before, she wasn’t willing to take chances where her grandmother’s health was concerned.

“I promise p>

“Then I believe you p>

Little did she know, Wyatt was the one who had arranged for Marc to accept the Morrisons’ offer in the first place. Hearing his promise now, she felt a wave of relief.

“I’ll also help you win back the Flynn Group’s shares,” Wyatt said.

Those words brought a flicker of surprise to Amelia’s eyes. He seemed to know her heart better than most.

Those shares meant more than money to her; they were Katrina’s legacy, rightfully hers. Even without Wyatt’s help, she was ready to fight for what belonged to her. Wyatt’s assurance gave her all the courage she needed to end things with Jaxton for good.

She had barely walked into her apartment when Jaxton’s call came through, asking her to go to the hospital. Dealing with Jaxton and Dayna was the last thing she wanted to do. But—

“Amelia, think about your grandmother before you make any decisions,” Jaxton said.

“I’ll go,” Amelia replied with a sigh.

Ending the call, she drove straight to Kretol City Hospital. Inside the room, Dayna played the part of the victim, while Jaxton hovered with anxious devotion. The instant he spotted Amelia, he said, “Say sorry to Dayna. Right now p>

“You expect me to apologize to her?” Amelia asked.

Her stare brimmed with disbelief, as though she’d never heard anything so absurd. Seeing her expression, Jaxton frowned. “You pushed Dayna down the stairs. You should apologize to her p>

With Jaxton focused on Amelia, satisfaction glimmered in Dayna’s eyes, just out of his view.

“Alright. I’ll apologize,” Amelia said without further argument.

Her steps were unhurried as she moved closer to the bed. When she reached Dayna, she raised her hand and slapped her. The sharp smack echoed throughout the room.

Dayna and Jaxton froze, stunned, until Dayna finally let out a scream. In an instant, Jaxton grabbed Amelia’s wrist. “Have you lost your mind p>

Amelia didn’t hesitate. Her other hand landed a stinging backhand across his face.

“Amelia p>

Jaxton’s temper erupted, eyes blazing, as he reached for her again, but she kicked him away before he could touch her.

“You wanted me to apologize. That’s how I apologize. Are you satisfied now p>
