Chapter 177:
Listening to that, Amelia let out a small, dismissive laugh. The chips in question were the newest marvels from the Stewart Group, so valuable that the Mills and Harvey families were fighting over them with outrageous offers. Wyatt hadn’t even made a decision yet, but Ricky now acted as if the chips were nothing special.
Amelia had no patience for further discussion and shut down his hopes in a heartbeat. “Forget about those chips. They’re not something you can afford p>
That blunt response sent Ricky seething with anger. “You’re married to Wyatt, aren’t you? That makes the Flynn family his in-laws. What’s the big deal about those chips? Can’t he just hand them over p>
