Chapter 211:
Denny caught her look and gave a faint nod, his eyes carrying a trace of guilt. “Amelia, go back to your hotel for now. I’ll deal with this and give you an answer soon p>
Despite her anxiety, Amelia knew she couldn’t rush things and had to wait patiently.
Once she left, the cold edge returned to Denny’s voice. “Where is Peter p>
“Still at the office,” Jasiah replied.
Thirty minutes later, inside Summit Capital’s headquarters.

“You’re going to love what I’ve got to tell you.” The words came from a striking man. He was Peter, the other founder of Summit Capital.
When Denny founded Summit Capital, he had encountered Peter, who had been in Hans looking for companies to invest in. Though Denny had been a newcomer in the business world at that time, his sincerity and confidence won Peter over, sparking a partnership that fueled Summit Capital’s rapid rise.
With a self-satisfied grin, Peter pulled out the signed contract with Rory, his voice brimming with triumph—until his eyes caught the coldness in Denny’s expression.
“Peter, have you forgotten the promise you made me?” Denny didn’t pause to let him answer. “I told you before—I already had someone lined up for this project p>
Peter hadn’t forgotten that. “I am sorry about this. But business is business. I just couldn’t turn down more money. I’m sure you understand p>
“I want you to pull your investment out,” Denny said.
“I was just… Wait, what did you just say?” Peter started to offer an explanation, but the weight of Denny’s words sank in, leaving him staring in stunned disbelief.
The shock on his face quickly gave way to fury. “You’re willing to cut ties with me just because of a project? Don’t forget—it was my investment that helped you achieve what you have today p>
“Peter, that first investment has multiplied a hundredfold. You’ve profited a lot, haven’t you? And I’m not asking for your opinion. I’m informing you p>
Years of working side by side meant that Denny and Peter could read each other like a book. Still, Peter couldn’t wrap his head around how one deal could make Denny want…
…to do this.
He gave Denny a long, conflicted look before turning to leave without a word.
“Hold on.” Denny’s voice cut through the air just as Peter reached the door. For a fleeting second, hope lit Peter’s features—until Denny continued, “I’ve already signed the project contract with someone else. Don’t try anything else p>
Peter’s expression changed drastically at his words. Whatever argument he’d been ready to make died in his throat when he met the cold finality in Denny’s gaze. Still, he knew he had broken his promise this time.
“Tell me, Peter, do you even know Rory’s identity?” Denny asked.
“Of course I do. But with Wyatt in a coma, Jewell’s bound to step in as the new CEO of the Stewart Group, and that p>
“Wyatt is just in a coma, Peter. He’s not dead!” Denny interjected.
