Chapter 136:
It was Jordy who finally broke the silence, his voice earnest. “Tell me what you need. As long as it’s within my capability, I’ll make it happen p>
“Elena must come here in person and publicly apologize to Matias!” Amelia said.
While stating her demand, Amelia carefully watched Wyatt’s face. He’d already given her his word over the phone, supporting her decision, but she couldn’t entirely dismiss the unease that came from knowing the Greens and Stewarts had a good relationship. Seeing Wyatt’s unwavering calm finally reassured her, strengthening her belief in his sincerity.
Her gaze then shifted to Jordy, who replied without hesitation, “Absolutely, it’s only fair. Elena made a mistake; it’s her responsibility to set things right.” Though Jordy swiftly agreed in Amelia’s presence, he felt deeply uneasy as he exited the ward.
Knowing Elena’s prideful nature all too well, Jordy knew she would never agree to apologize. Outside in the hallway, he spoke hesitantly, turning toward Wyatt. “Wyatt, you know how Elena is. I’m aware she’s at fault this time, but p>
“There’s no room for discussion on this p>
Wyatt cut him off coldly before he could finish. Staring directly into Jordy’s eyes, he continued, his voice edged with steel, “You ought to feel fortunate Amelia wasn’t harmed. Otherwise, a simple apology wouldn’t even begin to cover this. I don’t care what it takes for you to get Elena here, but understand this—if she refuses to come and apologize, I’ll immediately pull the plug on the Prevda Resort project p>
Those words instantly cleared Jordy’s hesitation. With Wyatt’s fierce ultimatum echoing, Jordy said firmly, “I understand. Elena will be here to apologize p>
“My patience is thin, Jordy. Have this settled before the day ends.” Without another word, Wyatt turned and strode purposefully back inside.
Inside the hospital room.
While Wyatt and Jordy were present, Matias held back his words, but the moment they stepped out, he swiftly turned to Amelia. “Amelia, honestly, you didn’t need to push Miss Green to apologize. My eye is perfectly okay.” Having discovered Elena’s

Influential ties to the Greens and their connection to Wyatt’s family made Matias desperately hope Amelia wouldn’t risk complicating her relationship with Wyatt on his account.
“She hurt you, Matias. There’s no way she’s getting out of this without an apology,” Amelia said.
Matias felt comforted by Amelia’s determination, though anxiety still lingered within him. “The Greens and Stewarts share family bonds through marriage. Pushing Miss Green into an apology might cause trouble between you and Mr. Stewart,” he said.
Just as Amelia prepared to reassure him, a familiar, deep voice echoed from the doorway. “Do you really think our bond is so fragile p>
At the hotel.
Exactly as Jordy had expected, Elena erupted into fury the moment he asked her to go to the hospital and apologize. “No way I’m doing that! Have you completely lost your mind p>
She then rounded on Jordy, glaring at him with undisguised resentment. “I’m your cousin, Jordy! Yet you’re siding against me for some outsider p>
“Elena, be reasonable, will you? This is your fault. You injured someone. Shouldn’t you apologize p>
“If that fool hadn’t stepped in front of Amelia, none of this would’ve happened. He did that to himself p>
Frustration clawed at Jordy’s patience. Still, he said calmly, “Think carefully, Elena. You’re lucky Amelia didn’t get hurt. Otherwise, you’d have far worse to deal with than just saying sorry p>
Elena opened her mouth to retort but found herself speechless against Jordy’s logic. However reluctantly she faced it, she knew she couldn’t deny Wyatt’s commitment to Amelia. Had Amelia actually been injured today, Elena knew she would face severe consequences.
But even knowing that, she still didn’t want to go to the hospital and apologize. Elena stood silently for a while before snapping irritably at Jordy, “That man is just some assistant who follows Amelia around! His eye is perfectly fine now. Can’t we just throw some extra money at him? Why do I have to apologize to him p>
“Do you think the Stewart Group lacks money? Wyatt specifically demanded that you apologize tonight p>
