Chapter 121:

This fed the anger burning in Conroy’s chest. He stared at Wyatt. “Since you’re both here now—go and get a divorce p>

“That’s never going to happen. I won’t divorce her,” Wyatt said.

“Are you really defying me on purpose p>

Conroy snatched a cup from the table and hurled it toward Wyatt. Wyatt did not budge, but Amelia reacted on instinct and yanked him out of harm’s way. Because of this, the cup crashed into Jaycob, who had just hurried over.

After spending time in the hospital, Jaycob had only come to watch the drama after hearing that Amelia had been summoned here. The last thing he expected was to get struck before he even had a chance to see what was happening.

Without wasting a moment, Doug signaled a servant and asked her to fetch some ice.

Watching Jaycob wince, Amelia felt a sting of guilt; she had not meant for him to get caught in the crossfire.

Aware he had shielded Wyatt by accident, Jaycob shot Wyatt a resentful look. “I’m not here to lecture you, but do you think you can bear the consequences if you keep provoking Grandpa? He is old, and his health is at stake p>

He wore an expression that made it clear he took some pleasure in Wyatt’s trouble, while Wyatt regarded his chest with a detached look. “It seems like your injuries healed fast p>

“You p>

Conroy took in the heated exchange, unable to support one side over the other since they were both his family. He stayed silent, watching their squabble play out.

Once his temper had cooled, Conroy’s voice dropped to a softer note. “Wyatt, I don’t want to be harsh. But Amelia’s family isn’t well-off, and she’s not a match for you p>

“Nobody else gets to decide if Amelia is right for me. I know she’s the one for me,” Wyatt said firmly.

“How could you p>

Before Conroy could finish speaking, he coughed. Doug reached for Marc’s prescribed medicine in a hurry.

Seeing this, Amelia gently tugged Wyatt’s sleeve. When his eyes met hers, she quietly shook her head.

If Conroy fell ill from anger now, both she and Wyatt would be on the receiving end of the Stewart family’s outrage. She could endure the consequences herself, but she would never let Wyatt take the fall with her.
