Chapter 194:

When Della rushed to the hospital, she had already made up her mind. No matter what it took, she would find the mastermind behind the car accident, and she wouldn’t hesitate to make them pay this time. Still, she chose to keep her intentions from Amelia.

Focused on piecing together clues from the car crash, Della lingered at the hospital before stepping out into the hallway. Amelia’s attentiveness toward Wyatt was evident to Della, which eased her greatly.

Right after Della left, Amelia’s phone buzzed. At first, she assumed Davin was calling to update her about the bank account, but the news that came through left her stunned. Anger simmered beneath her skin as she discovered that Jewell, upon hearing about Wyatt’s accident, never bothered to ask about his condition. Instead, he stormed straight to the Stewart Group and demanded to take Wyatt’s position as CEO.

Conroy only had two sons. With Hamlin in a vegetative state, the only one left was Jewell—and Jewell was also Wyatt’s father. Davin was unable to find grounds to oppose him. On top of everything else, Conroy was aware of the matter and didn’t voice any objection, leaving Davin with his hands tied.

When Amelia found out that Conroy himself had not objected to this, she felt sympathy for Wyatt. Catching the panic in Davin’s voice, Amelia responded unyieldingly, “Have Lucian deliver that paperwork to the hospital p>

For a split second, Davin could only blink in confusion, not understanding what Amelia was talking about. Once he realized what she meant, his eyes lit up with excitement. “Alright, I’ll contact Lucian right away p>

He felt deeply thankful for Wyatt’s clever planning at that instant. Wyatt’s lavish gift to Amelia had nearly left him speechless before, but now, he could only admire Wyatt’s strategic thinking.

The document Amelia mentioned detailed Wyatt’s voluntary decision to gift her half of all his assets, including his shares in the Stewart Group.

Meanwhile, the Stewart Group headquarters glowed in the night. Inside the boardroom, Della’s angry voice reverberated against the walls. “You have no heart, Jewell! A man like you isn’t fit to call himself a father!” She then landed a fierce slap across Jewell’s cheek.

Jewell clutched his face and signaled for security to hold her back. Contempt filled his eyes as he said, “Wyatt’s barely hanging on. As his father, shouldn’t I be the one to take over his responsibilities p>

At first, the sting of guilt bothered Jewell, but Della’s slap swept away any trace of it, leaving him puffed up with self-importance. He found himself buying into Kamila’s ideas, convinced that the Stewart Group had always been his by right. Conroy only had two sons—now that Hamlin was not in any condition to do anything, he should be the sole heir. The family assets should be passed to him instead of his son.

Blocked by the bodyguards, Della looked at Jewell with cold eyes. “If you dare to take my son’s position, Jewell, I won’t let you see another sunrise p>

“Della, there’s nothing you can do. This will happen, no matter your feelings p>

Della had no patience for his posturing. Before Jewell could finish speaking, she drew a fruit knife from her bag. The shock in the room was evident. By the time anyone processed what was happening, Della’s blade had already sunk into Jewell’s shoulder. She yanked the knife out and struck again, this time driving it deep into his arm.

Cries of pain tore from Jewell, echoing through the room. As Della was about to stab him a third time, the bodyguards finally rushed to restrain her. Initially, Della had only intended to scare Jewell, but years of pent-up resentment surged, and she genuinely wanted to end his life.

Just then, the doors burst open, and Amelia entered with Lucian and Davin, catching the chaos in motion.

Without hesitation, Amelia caught Della’s arm, stopping her. “Della, calm down.” Her eyes then fell on the blood seeping from Jewell’s wounds, and she quickly turned to Davin. “Get a doctor here. Now p>

Choosing not to send Jewell to the hospital, she acted quickly to keep Della’s name out of any public scandal.

Only after Amelia and her companions entered did Jewell manage to find his voice again, screaming at Della, “You’re insane! I swear I’ll p>

The threat caught in his throat as he saw Della pick up the knife again. A small, silent smile crept onto Amelia’s face—deep down, she believed Jewell had earned every bit of his suffering.

Though her anger was fierce, Della never intended to cause lasting harm. The cuts looked serious but proved shallow, giving both Amelia and Davin relief. Once the bleeding had stopped and bandages covered his wounds, Jewell moved to leave, only to be stopped by Amelia’s outstretched hand.

His face twisted in frustration as he heard her deny him the CEO position. “Just because you married Wyatt doesn’t mean you have the right to meddle in this matter p>

“Why don’t you read this before saying something like that?” said Amelia, gesturing for Lucian to step forward as she watched him hand Jewell the crucial document.
